Cleaning of CPAP and AirVo’s in RAC

[Rosemarie Brown]

We are using more CPAP and AirVo respiratory devices in our RAC facilities. I am looking for standardised cleaning instructions for both.
Also the manufacturer recommends that AirVo’s only need reprocessed if not single patient use, but if used long term is this suffice?

I would follow the manufacturers instructions. If you dont have them then you can usually look them up on line. A blocked filter will prevent the machine being effective.
