Reprocessing The Mask Between Patients - ResMed Quattro FX NV Guia Del Usuario

Cleaning your mask in the home
Your mask and headgear should only be handwashed by gently rubbing in
warm (approximately 86°F/30°C) water using mild soap. All components
should be rinsed well with drinking quality water and allowed to air dry out of
direct sunlight.
Daily/After each use:
• To optimize the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion
after use.
• Handwash the separated mask components (excluding headgear).
Weekly:
• Handwash the headgear. It may be washed without being disassembled.
WARNING
• Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus
or essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products that smell strongly (eg,
citrus) to clean any of the mask components. Residual vapours from
these solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly. They may also
damage the mask, causing cracks.
CAUTION
• If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent
(cracking, crazing, tears etc), the component should be discarded and
replaced.
•
Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing) directly
to any part of the mask. Flexible PVC contains elements that can
be detrimental to the materials of the mask, and may cause the
components to crack or break.
