How to use Soft-Touch Nasal Cannula?

• Ensure cleanliness: Before handling the cannula, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer to maintain proper hygiene.
• Prepare the oxygen source: Ensure that your oxygen source is turned on and functioning correctly. Check that the flow rate is set to the prescribed level as directed by your healthcare provider.
• Inspect the cannula: Examine the nasal oxygen cannula for any visible damage or defects. If you notice any issues, do not use the cannula and seek a replacement.
• Adjust the fit: Gently hold the two nasal prongs of the cannula and position them in your nostrils. Adjust the tubing length behind your head to ensure a comfortable fit. Avoid bending or kinking the tubing, as this may affect the oxygen flow.
• Secure the tubing: Use the included tubing clip or a soft, non-abrasive clip to secure the tubing behind your head, helping to keep it in place and prevent dislodgment during use.
• Connect to the oxygen source: Attach the connectors at the ends of the tubing to the oxygen source. Ensure a secure connection to prevent any leaks.
• Confirm oxygen flow: Once the cannula is connected, verify that oxygen is flowing through the cannula. You should feel the gentle flow of air through the nasal prongs. If you do not feel any airflow, check the oxygen source and connections for any issues.
