Cleaning and maintenance

It is important that you regularly clean your AirMini machine to make
sure you receive optimal therapy. The following sections will help you
with disassembly, cleaning and checking your machine.
WARNING
• As part of good hygiene, always follow cleaning instructions.
Some cleaning products may damage the air tubing and affect
its function, or leave harmful residual vapours that could be
inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly.
• The AirMini connectors, AirFit P10 for AirMini and AirFit N30 for
AirMini contain a vent system to prevent carbon dioxide build-
up in the mask. The vent system must be kept clean and clear of
contamination in order to function correctly. Blocking or
modifying the vent system may result in excessive carbon
dioxide rebreathing.
• Regularly clean your AirMini tubing, connectors and mask
components to receive optimal therapy and to prevent the
growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
• Regularly inspect the humidifier and follow the cleaning and
maintenance instructions to prevent the growth of germs that
can adversely affect your health.
CAUTION
If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent
(cracking, discoloration, tears etc.), the component should be
discarded and replaced.
