Note: Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and
secure. You should hear or feel oxygen flow to
the prongs of the nasal cannula. If oxygen does
not seem to flow, first verify that the flowmeter
ball is registering a flow. Then, place the tip of the
cannula into a glass of water; if bubbles come out
of the cannula, oxygen is flowing. If bubbles do not
appear, refer to the troubleshooting section of this
manual.
Always follow the cannula manufacturer's instruc-
tions for proper use. Replace the disposable cannula
as recommended by the cannula manufacturer or
your Equipment Provider. Additional supplies are
available from your Equipment Provider.
