The Importance of Cleaning Your AirSense 11
Everyday use of your AirSense 11 is subjected to moisture and oils as well as impurities of the surrounding air and of your breath. In the long run, these contaminants may build up within the tubing, mask, and the water chamber, and may cause the reduction of airflow or the development of bacteria. Washing your appliance frequently does not only guarantee you a clean therapeutic process but also avoids mechanical fatigue and tear. With a routine cleaning schedule, you are able to save your health and even your investment.
Daily Cleaning Routine
The most basic cleaning routine is a daily cleaning routine that will help keep your AirSense 11 in good working order. Begin by removing a mask and tubing of the device. Clean these parts with warm soapy water with a light, odorless detergent. When you have removed all the soap, rinse under a lot of water before letting the parts dry, and then assemble them again. Wipe out the water humidifier chamber each morning so that there is no deposition of minerals or microbes. Always make sure to fill the chamber with only distilled water before going to sleep so as to get the highest quality of air and to minimize scaling.
The weekly deep cleaning and maintenance
Have one proper cleaning of your AirSense 11 parts once a week. Take off and clean the mask cushion, headgear, and tubing, as normal, however, examine them too, looking at their wear and tear: cracks, discoloured or straps that are stretched out. It is recommended to clean the water chamber by adding an equal amount of white vinegar with water to loosen the mineral formation. Wash, and then dry out.
Moreover, check the air filter that is in the rear of your AirSense 11. This kind of filter excludes dust and other allergens and leaves the internal parts of the filter free of debris. Changing the filter every 1-3 months or depending on the surrounding, change it when it appears dirty to guarantee good results. It is also suggested that to keep your device in good state that can permit easy airflow and smooth and proper functioning, you should change the filters regularly.
Handling and Storage Tips
When not in use, keep the AirSense 11 on a level non-sloping surface not in direct sunshine, hot heat sources, or water. It is important not to put the machine on the floor where dust turns into a common problem. When it is not being used, wrap up the device in a clean cloth so that dust does not settle in it. In case you are a frequent traveller, spend money on getting a special carrying case to ensure that it is not scratched or hit during movements.
Guaranteeing Long-Term Performance
Your AirSense 11 can help you sleep well with years of constant and efficient sleep therapy with routine maintenance. Cleaning also keeps you healthy, eliminates air pollution, and prevents mechanical problems that are likely to occur. All you need to do to make sure that your AirSense 11 will keep providing you with the restful, safe, and uninterrupted sleep that you are entitled to is to spend a few minutes per day and a couple of minutes more per week. Routine maintenance does not only make the product perform better, but it also ensures your sleep therapy companion has a long life.
