Checking; Reassembling; Reprocessing - ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her Plus Clinical Manual

Checking

You should regularly check the humidifier, air tubing and the air filter for any damage.
1. Check the humidifier:
• Replace it if it is leaking or has become cracked, cloudy or pitted.
• Replace it if the seal is cracked or torn.
• Remove any white powder deposits using a solution of one part household vinegar to
10 parts water.
2. Check the air tubing and replace it if there are any holes, tears or cracks.
3. Check the air filter and replace it at least every six months. Replace more often if there are any
holes or blockages by dirt or dust.
To replace the air filter:
1. Open the air filter cover and remove the old air filter.
The air filter is not washable or reusable.
2. Place a new air filter onto the air filter cover and then close it.
Make sure the air filter is fitted at all times to prevent water and dust from entering the device.

Reassembling

When the humidifier and air tubing are dry, you can reassemble the parts.
1. Connect the air tubing firmly to the air outlet located on the rear of the device.
2. Open the humidifier and fill it with room temperature water up to the maximum water level
mark.
3. Close the humidifier and insert it into the side of the device.
4. Connect the free end of the air tubing firmly onto the assembled mask.

Reprocessing

When the device is used for multiple patients, for example, in a sleep lab, clinic, hospital or at a
health care provider, the cleanable humidifier, air outlet and air tubing should be reprocessed
between each patient use.
If the cleanable humidifier or the air tubing are being used for a single user in the home, refer to the
cleaning instructions in this guide or in the User Guide.
Described here are ResMed's recommended and validated procedures for cleaning and disinfecting
the cleanable humidifier, air outlet and air tubing. However, the steps for disinfection vary regionally
and each healthcare facility should consult its own procedures before carrying out those within this
guide.
