that you:
> Remove the device from your mouth and rinse in lukewarm water
> Remove the
ExVent
from
the front inlet of the O
2
Vent
®
device by gently squeezing
the middle to disengage the
retention clip before pulling it
out, taking care not to damage
the
ExVent
> Thoroughly rinse the
ExVent
with lukewarm water
> Pat dry the
ExVent
with a clean
tissue or towel (do not rub/
wipe) and store in the Oventus
tub that is provided with the
O
2
Vent
®
device
> Leave the
ExVent
to dry in the
Oventus tub, with the lid open.
Do not place the
ExVent
into
the O
2
Vent
®
device to dry.
For cleaning of your O
2
Vent
®

TIPS:
1. If you are finding it uncomfortable or difficult
to breathe out of your
ExVent
, you can insert your
O
2
Vent
®
device and
ExVent
prior to your sleep period,
to practice getting used to it while awake.
2. One exercise to help you adapt to your
ExVent
valve is to
breathe in (WITHOUT your O
2
Vent
®
device in your mouth) and
then slowly breathe out with your lips tightly pressed together,
as if blowing a kiss.
