Tips for the Ultra-Soft Nasal Cannula
Replace Regularly
Change your cannula every 14 days or sooner if it becomes discolored or stiff. Regular replacement ensures optimal performance and hygiene.
Keep It Clean
Clean the cannula daily with mild soap and water. Regular cleaning prevents buildup of bacteria and ensures comfortable use.
Adjust for Comfort
Use the adjustable bolo ring to secure the cannula comfortably. Make sure the tubing sits snugly without causing irritation.
Monitor for Irritation
If you notice any redness or discomfort around your nose or ears, adjust the cannula's positioning. The ultra-soft tubing should minimize friction.
Ensure Proper Fit
Make sure the curved nasal prongs fit naturally into your nostrils. They should provide a secure fit without applying excessive pressure.
Check Oxygen Flow
Regularly check the clear tubing to ensure there are no kinks or blockages. Clear tubing makes it easy to monitor the oxygen flow.
Secure Tubing
Use clips or other securing methods to keep the tubing in place and prevent it from pulling on the cannula, especially while moving.
Store Properly
When not in use, store the cannula in a clean, dry place. Proper storage helps maintain the integrity and cleanliness of the cannula.
Be Gentle
Handle the cannula gently when putting it on and taking it off. Avoid pulling or stretching the tubing unnecessarily.
