Note
Wear suitable gloves (e.g. disposable
gloves) during the hygiene treatment.
Wash the HEADstrap headgear before
using for the first time, as the colour
might run.
The headgear may only be washed by
hand!
Do not iron the headgear, otherwise the
hook-and-loop closures will no longer
work!
Do not dry the headgear in a dryer!
4.3 Following treatment
Thoroughly dry all parts following the
hygiene treatment. Check the components
for residual contamination or damage.
Repeat the hygiene treatment if required.
Replace damaged parts. Reassemble the
mask.
®
OPA and
4.4 Multiple patient use
If the mask is used by a different patient, it
must be subjected to a hygiene treatment
first.
Disassemble the mask. Disinfect or sterilize all
parts as described in section "4.2 Cleaning,
disinfection, sterilization".
Use a new headgear and where necessary a
new quick release cord.
5 Functional check
Before use check that everything is working
properly as described below.
vented variants
Always check that the anti-asphyxia valve is
working before each use as described below:
1. Ensure that the valve and membrane are
dry, undamaged and free of secretions.
Do not use the mask if the valve or
membrane is damaged (e.g. through
tears and deformation). In this case
replace the anti-asphyxia valve. (see
"7. Scope of supply" on page 22)
2. Ensure that the valve membrane is not
closing the valve aperture. Only then can
ambient air flow into the mask.
3. Attach the breathing hose (delivered with
the therapy unit) to the elbow of the
mask and to the therapy unit.
4. Switch on the therapy unit. The
membrane should now close the
aperture of the anti-asphyxia valve. Only
then can ambient air flow from the
therapy unit into the mask.
5. Do not use the mask if the valve or the
membrane is not working. Replace the
anti-asphyxia valve. (see "7. Scope of
supply" on page 22)
