Everyday
disinfection
Due to the presence of the product filter inside the
device, everyday disinfection only concerns the external oxygen therapy acces-
sories: humidifier, probes, nasal cannulas (refer to the respective instructions
for use).
The
use
of
alcohol
based
solutions
means
that
the
device
must
be
switched
off.
