4. Examine the filters regularly for cleanliness and integrity.
5. If needed, wash the gray foam filter in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove
all detergent residue. Allow the filter to dry completely before reinstalling it. If the foam filter is torn,
replace it. (Only Respironics-supplied filters should be used as replacement filters.)
CAUTION: Never install a wet filter into the device. It is recommended that you clean the filter in the
morning and alternate using the two gray foam filters provided with the system to ensure
sufficient drying time for the cleaned filter.
6. If the ultra-fine filter is dirty or torn, replace it.
7. Reinstall the filters. If you are using the optional white ultra-fine filter, place it against the gray foam
filter so the soft side of the ultra-fine filter touches the gray foam filter. Slide the filters into the air inlet
at the rear of the device and push them into the recess. When the filters are installed, the hard plastic
side of the white filter will touch the inside of the device.
8. Reinstall the filter cover. Contact your health care professional to order additional filters.
