Note: . Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and
secure. You should hear or feel oxygen flow to
the prongs of the nasal cannula. If oxygen does
not seem to flow, first verify that the flow meter
ball is registering a flow. Then, place the tip of the
cannula into a glass of water; if bubbles come out
of the cannula, oxygen is flowing. If bubbles do not
appear, refer to the troubleshooting section of this
manual.
Note: Always follow the cannula manufacturer's
instructions for proper use. Replace the disposable
cannula as recommended by the cannula
manufacturer or your Equipment Provider.
Additional supplies are available from your
Equipment Provider.
