bubbles are trapped.
2. Soak the components in a hot water bath. ResMed has validated:
•
Water bath: at 167ºF (75ºC) for 30 minutes
Note:

3. Allow the components to dry out of direct sunlight.
OR
High level chemical disinfection
1. Make a solution of Ortho-phthalaldehyde 0.55% as directed by the disinfectant manufacturer. ResMed
has validated:
•
CIDEX® OPA Ortho-phthalaldehyde
2. Soak the components in the solution at room temperature (approximately 69.8ºF to 77ºF (21ºC to 25ºC)
for 12 minutes. Agitate the components in the disinfection solution to ensure there are no air bubbles.
3. Rinse and agitate the components in water
