CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - SINGLE PATIENT USE
Cleaning is recommended on a daily basis. Hand wash the mask and components in warm water using a mild detergent. Rinse the mask thoroughly after washing. Visually

protocols. However, the gel cushion is not indestructible. It will tear, cut and rip if subjected to mishandling or abuse. Do not clean in a dishwashing machine. The warranty does
not cover these types of product failures. Therefore, please handle your new mask with care.
