Oxygen Cannula Disinfection

[kaszppet]

Hi guys,

using for oxygen supply the cannulas and masks by Aerox. Works great, but I’m struggling with how to clean it. The plane is used by many people and I don’t have one cannula for each of them. Do you have any idea how to clean and disinfect cannulas and masks without destroying them? In the Aerox manual is written that I should clean it using wipes and soap water, no rubbing alcohol and not to fill it with some liquid. I’m not so sure the soapy water will disinfect it thoroughly, so that’s why I’m asking. Thanks for some advices.

Assuming they are not the oxy-saver models, I would clean them like CPAP masks in a solution of half water, half white vinegar. I don't think you could clean the oxy-saver cannulas that way. The other way is an ozone cleaning system.
