How to use Freevent XtraCare Mini
Precautions
• Do not wash and re-use the HME. Washing the HME impairs the filtering and HME functions.
• Do not use a soiled or contaminated device as this may cause an infection.
• Do not administer a medicated nebulizer treatment over the device since the medication can be
deposited in the device.
• Do not use humidifiers or heated humidified oxygen over the device since the HME will become too
wet.
Attach:
Remove:
Gently attach the HME to the tube using
a twisting motion.
3
Change the HME at least every 24 hours
or more often if needed, e.g. breathing
resistance increases due to mucus. Replace
the HME if unintentionally removed, e.g.
coughed or pulled off, and got dirty or
contaminated.
