Tips for Tube, Frame & Swivel for Solo Nasal Mask
Regular Inspection
Check the tube, frame, and swivel regularly for any signs of wear or damage such as cracks, stiffness, or discoloration. Early detection of issues can prevent discomfort and ensure your therapy remains effective.
Proper Cleaning
Clean the tube and frame weekly using warm soapy water. Rinse them thoroughly to remove any soap residues which can degrade materials over time. Allow them to air dry completely before reassembling the mask. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the components. Visit our cleaning solution collection.
Correct Assembly
When replacing any part of your mask, ensure that all pieces fit securely together. Improper assembly can lead to air leaks, which diminish the efficacy of your therapy. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for assembly instructions.
Test After Replacement
After replacing any component, wear the mask to check for comfort and proper fit. Adjust the straps and position of the mask to avoid any pressure points on your face. Ensure there is no air leakage, particularly around the nose and mouth.
Handle With Care
When handling the swivel, be gentle to avoid breaking it. The swivel should rotate freely without force. If the swivel is stiff or does not move smoothly, it may need to be replaced.
Use Only Compatible Parts
Ensure that the replacement parts are specifically designed for the Solo Nasal CPAP Mask to guarantee compatibility and reliability. Using non-compatible parts can compromise the fit and function of the mask.
Replace As Needed
Do not wait for a complete failure of the parts to replace them. Follow a routine schedule for replacement based on the manufacturer's recommendations or sooner if you notice any decline in performance or comfort.
