WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
Improper mounting or maintenance of the
Sip-n-Puff control including the mouthpiece and
breath tube may cause injury or damage.
Water inside the Sip-n-Puff interface module may
cause damage to the unit.
Excessive saliva residue in the mouthpiece/straw
can reduce performance.
Blockages, a clogged saliva trap or air leaks in
the system may cause Sip-n-Puff not to function
properly.
– Ensure moving parts of the wheelchair,
including the operation of powered seating, DO
NOT pinch or damage the Sip-n-Puff tubing.
– Saliva trap MUST be installed to reduce risk of
water or saliva entering the Sip-n-Puff interface
module.
– Occasionally flush the mouthpiece to remove
saliva residue.
– The mouthpiece/straw MUST be completely dry
before installation.
– If Sip-n-Puff does not function properly, inspect
system for blockages, clogged saliva trap or
air leaks. As necessary, replace mouthpiece,
breath tube and saliva trap.
Contact your Invacare provider for more information
about maintaining and troubleshooting the Sip-n-Puff
system.
