Disinfection Instructions - Trudell Medical International AeroEclipse Xl Manuel De L'utilisateur

EZ TWIST TUBING
Occasionally you may notice condensation on the inside of your tubing. This is normal. To
remove the condensation, simply connect one end of the EZ Twist
source, such as an Ombra* Compressor, and allow the air to run without the nebulizer attached.
This will force air through the tubing, drying the inside. To clean the exterior, wipe with a damp
cloth. Ensure the tubing is dry prior to storage.
