Compatible Accessories and Maintenance Periods

Nasal cannulas are single-use medical devices and need to be replaced regularly for hygiene and performance.

• Replacement Period: Generally, it is recommended to replace nasal cannulas every 1-2 weeks, or sooner if they become soiled/stiff or discolored. Adhering to this period is crucial to minimize infection risk and ensure optimal oxygen flow.
• Compatible Devices: Compatible with all standard oxygen concentrators and oxygen tanks.
• Additional Accessories: Cable organizers or cannula clips can be used to keep the cannula tidy and reduce the risk of entanglement.

Usage and Maintenance Guide

• Connection: Firmly connect one end of the cannula to the outlet port of your oxygen concentrator or oxygen tank.
• Positioning: Place the nasal prongs into your nostrils and route the tubing over your ears, adjusting the slider under your chin. This ensures the cannula stays secure and avoids pressure on the nostrils.
• Flow Adjustment: Adjust the oxygen flow to the liters per minute (LPM) value prescribed by your doctor. Regularly check the flow rate.
• Cleaning: Cleaning the cannula is generally not recommended as it is a single-use product. However, in case of light soiling, it can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Never use chemical cleaners or alcohol.
• Cannula Fit Check: Ensure the cannula fits snugly in your nostrils and there are no air leaks. If you feel discomfort or notice a decrease in flow, check its position.
• Humidifier Use: If you are using a humidifier with your oxygen therapy, regularly check the water level in the humidifier bottle and make sure to use distilled water.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should the YILKAL Nasal Cannula be replaced?

For hygiene and performance, it is recommended to replace the YILKAL Nasal Cannula every 1-2 weeks, or sooner if it becomes soiled, stiff, or discolored. This reduces the risk of infection and maintains the effectiveness of oxygen flow.

What advantages does the 5-meter length offer?

The 5-meter length provides individuals undergoing oxygen therapy with a much wider range of movement within the home without being tethered to an oxygen source. This allows the patient to comfortably move from the bedroom to the living room, kitchen, or bathroom, and carry out daily activities more independently.

What should be done to prevent the cannula from damaging the nostrils?

Ensure the cannula fits snugly in your nostrils and is not too tight. When routing the tubing over your ears, make sure it is not taut. Additionally, regularly check the contact points of the cannula for skin irritation and moisturize your skin.

No, nasal cannulas are single-use products, and cleaning or disinfecting them is generally not recommended. Such procedures can degrade the material and may not be hygienic. The best practice is to replace with a new cannula at the specified intervals or when it becomes soiled.
