WARNING
•
Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus or
essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products that smell strongly (eg,
citrus) to clean any of the mask components. Residual vapours from
these solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly. They may also
damage the mask, causing cracks.
•
Do not iron the headgear as the material is heat sensitive and will be
damaged.
Daily/After Each Use
To optimize the mask seal, facial oils should be removed from the cushion and
pillows before use.
Handwash the mask by gently rubbing in warm (86°F/30°C) water using mild
soap or diluted dishwashing detergent.
Clean the walls of the nasal pillows, including the space between the walls, of
any debris using a small brush.
Do not twist the valve during cleaning as this may damage or tear the valve
membrane or hinge. Take care when handling the valve.
If the vent requires cleaning use a soft bristle brush.
Rinse all components well with drinking quality water and allow them to air dry
out of direct sunlight. Do not soak the mask.
Weekly
Handwash the headgear in warm (approx. 86°F/30°C) water using mild soap or
diluted dishwashing detergent. Rinse the headgear well and allow it to air dry
out of direct sunlight.
Cleaning the Mask between Patients
The Mirage Liberty should be disinfected or sterilized when used between
patients. All components, except the headgear, are validated for up to 20
disinfection or sterilization cycles using one of the following processes:
•
Thermal disinfection at a maximum temperature-time combination of 194°F
(90°C) for one minute
•
Chemical disinfection (eg, Cidex™ OPA)
•
The STERRAD™ Sterilization System (eg, 100S or NX).
The inlet tube and swivel should be replaced between patients.
The headgear should be thoroughly washed between patients, as described in
"Cleaning the Mask in the Home".
Detailed disinfection and sterilization instructions are available from the
ResMed website, www.resmed.com/masks/sterilization/americas and must
