Cleaning the Mask between Patients
The Mirage Quattro should be disinfected or sterilised when used between
patients. All components, except the headgear, are validated for up to 20
disinfection or sterilisation cycles using one of the following processes:
•
Thermal disinfection at a maximum temperature–time combination of 93°C
for 10 minutes
•
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.
