3.1 Function check
After receiving the VORTEX Tracheo, check that the path
through the valve in the mouthpiece is unobstructed:

into the mouthpiece from the
top.
The water should escape
through the side openings in
the mouthpiece.
• Let the drinking water run out
through the bottom of the
mouthpiece.
The water should run out of the
lip attachment again.
• Dry the VORTEX Tracheo completely before using it for the
first time.
If the valve is obstructed, the VORTEX Tracheo must not be
used.

tion inside the VORTEX mouthpiece:
