Cleaning
Regular cleaning should be performed in accordance with the instructions below.
WARNING: This device can expose you to electrocution. Do not
immerse the Z2, Power Adapter, Power Cord or Battery in water. Always
unplug these devices before cleaning (only as instructed in this User Guide)
and make sure they are dry before plugging back in.
CAUTION: Do not use bleach, chlorine, alcohol, or aromatic-based
solutions, moisturizing or antibacterial soaps or scented oils to clean the
Z2. Never attempt to clean the Power Adapter, PowerShell, Battery or
accessories with any of these solutions. These solutions may create a shock
hazard, cause damage and reduce the life of these products.
Daily
1. Remove the CPAP Tube, Q-lite and the mask from the Z2.
2. Wash the CPAP Tube in warm water using mild detergent.
3. Rinse thoroughly, hang, and allow to dry.
4. The Q-lite has no owner servicable parts to replace. The foam inside the Q-lite has
been tested and found to have no significant bacterial growth after 30 days of use in
a dry environment. The use of a water-based humidifier may affect this performance.
Examine the Q-lite for cracks or breaks in the plastic and replace as neccessary.
5. Before next use, reconnect the Q-lite, CPAP Tube and the Tube Adapter to the Z2 and mask.
NOTE: Soaking the CPAP Tube in water for longer than 10 minutes may
shorten the life of the tube.
Every 90 days
The CPAP tube should be replaced every 90 days or earlier if it becomes discolored, cracked or damaged.
CAUTION: Do not use bleach, chlorine, alcohol, or aromatic-based
solutions, moisturizing or antibacterial soaps or scented oils to clean
the CPAP tube. Never attempt to clean the CPAP tube with any of these
solutions. These solutions may cause damage and reduce the life of the
CPAP tube.
