The high-flow devices of the LM Flow series humidify the respiratory ther
-
apy gas with water vapor. If the regular cleaning, disinfection and replace
-
ment of parts are not carried out in accordance with these instructions,
there is a risk that bacteria will settle on and in the high-flow device, which
can infect the patient. The high-flow device must therefore be cleaned
thoroughly before and after each use. It must be cleaned and disinfected
when used on multiple patients.

Cleaning
Daily cleaning: Hoses, nasal cannula, water chamber. Connect the en
-
tire tube system with nasal cannula and activate the drying mode. Once
dry, remove the water chamber and rinse with clean water.

The water chamber and the therapy tube must not be cleaned with
cleaning agents. Use a clean, lint-free, disposable cloth (moistened
with a neutral detergent) to wipe the connector between the auto-fill
water chamber and the high-flow device.
Also check that all impurities have been removed.
The power supply of the high-flow device must be disconnected before
cleaning. Do not place the device in liquids.
