Caring for your device
The device was designed to minimize the amount of required
routine maintenance. There are no user repairable parts.
Aside from the preventative maintenance outlined below, all
other maintenance must be performed by qualified service
personnel.
All maintenance must be performed when the device is
powered off.
Cleaning the fan vents
Make sure that there is no build-up of lint, hair or other
materials that could obstruct the flow of air into the device's
fan vents. At least once a month, inspect the grille of the
vents, and if it appears dirty, use a dry cotton swab to clean it.
Cleaning the device and carrying case
If it is necessary to clean the device or the carrying case, use
only warm water and a mild liquid dish detergent. Dampen a
cloth in the solution and carefully wipe the outside surfaces of
the device and the carrying case. Allow sufficient drying time
before placing the device back in the carrying case.
CAUTION
Do not use alcohol, solvents, polishes or any oily
substances as they may be flammable. Do not stick cotton
swab into vent while the device or fan is running as it may
cause damage.
Storing the device
Store the device in a cool, dry place where it will remain clean
and dry. This will help extend the device service life.
Inspecting the nasal cannula
Inspect the nasal cannula and make sure there are no kinks or
obstructions. Nasal cannula cannot be used between other
patients.
WARNING
Clean and replace the cannula and tubing as instructed by
the manufacturer and your equipment provider.
