ResMed AirSense 10 Reprocessing Manual

AirSense 10 and AirCurve 10 reprocessing guide
This guide is intended for multipatient use of the AirSense™10 and AirCurve™10 devices.
When the device is used for multiple patients, for example, in a sleep lab, clinic, hospital or at a health care provider, the
cleanable water tub, air outlet and air tubing should be reprocessed between each patient use.
If the cleanable water tub 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 water tub, 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.
Note: The standard water tub cannot be disinfected. If contaminated, it must be discarded and replaced with a new water tub.
