Chemical disinfection (eg, Cidex™ OPA or Cidex Plus™)
•
The STERRAD™ Sterilization System (eg, 100S or NX).
•
The headgear should be thoroughly washed between patients, as described in
"Cleaning the Mask in the Home".
Detailed disinfection and sterilisation instructions are available from the
ResMed website, www.resmed.com/masks/sterilization, and must be
consulted before multipatient use.

Reassembling the Mask

See section D on the illustrations sheet.
Before reassembling the mask, check that all components are clean and dry.
Check that the valve is not damaged, distorted or torn, and that none of the
other components are broken or cracked. Replace any parts that are damaged.
Flexible PVC contains elements that can be detrimental to the materials of the
mask. If flexible PVC tubing is used continuously, the attachment port should
be inspected for cracking. Replace any parts that are damaged.
