5.1 Cleaning

In addition to your routine cleaning after use,
the SideStream drug container must be boiled
once a week.
Warning
The air filter and the Duratube must not be
cleaned in any liquids and should be replaced if
dirty.
5.2 Care for your Porta-neb and
its air filter
Your Porta-neb should be cleaned by wiping
the inside and outside of the case with a damp
cloth. The filter which cleans the air that you
use during treatment, gets dirty over time. If
it gets blocked the Porta-neb does not work
properly.
