Your device will be exposed to saliva during use. We recommend cleaning it daily, or even after every session.
Do not use in the dishwasher or use boiling water, as this may damage your device and will void your warranty.

2. Separate body section of device from mouthpiece

or other debris, seems blocked, or if you have a respiratory
infection.

minutes!)

ADVANCED STERILIZATION
This cleaning method is advised for those with depressed immune systems or when their device is used in a
hospital setting.
To reduce risk of infection, disinfect your breather at least once per week, in addition to daily cleaning with
warm soapy water.

1. Clean the device first as normal with warm soapy water.
2. Soak in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse well with distilled, autoclaved, or filtered water.
