Equipment Care & Maintenance
Ensuring that your equipment is properly cared and maintained is an important part of ensuring that you are receiving the best possibly therapy.
Care & Maintenance Checklist:

Check your filter weekly (Some Devices have two filters, a disposable & non-disposable filter)

If the filters are clogged or discolored it may be time to replace the filter. If it is a non-disposable filter, it can be cleaned with soap and water and allow to dry before starting therapy.
-
Check your tubing weekly
-
If the tubing is cracked, discolored, or dirty it may be time to replace it. As a routine, tubing should be rinsed with water allowing it to fully dry before starting therapy.
