Notes:
The mask system (excluding headgear and
•
valve membrane) is validated for
multipatient use.
Clinicians should refer to the Masks
Disinfection/Sterilisation Guide for details.
Wash the headgear before first time use,
•
as the dye may run. It is important to
always handwash the headgear.
1 Handwash the headgear in warm, soapy
water. Use a mild detergent such as
pure soap. Rinse well and allow it to air
dry out of direct sunlight. Do this at least
once a week.
2 Handwash the mask components in
warm, soapy water. Use a mild
detergent such as pure soap. Rinse the
components well and allow them to air
dry out of direct sunlight. Do this after
each use.
To clean the valve membrane, immerse
it in soapy water and gently rub the
membrane to remove any foreign
matter. Rinse the membrane and allow it
to air dry out of direct sunlight.
Inspect the valve membrane for wear
and deterioration. If the valve
membrane is damaged, distorted or
torn, replace it with a new valve
membrane. Ensure that the membrane
is clean and dry before re-inserting it
into the valve.
CAUTION
Do not use bleach-, chlorine-, alcohol-,
•
or aromatic-based solutions,
moisturising or antibacterial soaps, or
scented oils to clean any of the mask
components. These solutions may
cause damage and reduce the life of the
product.
