• Disinfect the air tubing weekly or sooner if any moisture or odors are detected. Disconnect the tubing and wash in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly, air dry completely before reconnecting.
• Have the machine inspected by a certified technician once a year or if any malfunctions occur. They can perform maintenance and diagnostic tests to ensure it is functioning properly.
• Consult your equipment provider for any specific cleaning requirements. Proper maintenance is important for health and safety. Neglecting to clean the equipment regularly can lead to respiratory infections and impact the effectiveness of the treatment.
