- Loop the tubing around your ears to provide greater security

How Often Should I Replace My Cannula?
Being inserted into the nose, there is a high likelihood that your cannula is going to come into contact with germs. For conditions that commonly require the need for an oxygen concentrator (such as COPD), you want to limit your exposure to viruses and reduce the chance of illness as much as possible.
Even if you are cleaning your cannula on a daily basis, we would recommend that daily oxygen users should replace their cannulae approximately every 10 days. For people who only occasionally require oxygen, you may be able to use your cannulae for longer (as long as cleaning is maintained).
How Comfortable Is the DeVilbiss Nasal Cannula?
Designed for exceptional comfort, the DeVilbiss 2m Cannula is a Salter-Style cannula with soft curved nasal prongs for reduced discomfort over time. As well as this, the cannula is designed without a "flap" or lip-tab, which many users find to be more comfortable.
How Long Are the Cannulae?
The DeVilbiss Nasal Cannulae have a length of 7' (approximately 213cm), giving you a good level of freedom of movement while connected to your oxygen concentrator. To prevent accidents from occurring, we would recommend never extending the cannula until it is taut.
How Can I Clean My Cannulae?
To ensure the best level of hygiene it is recommended to clean your nasal cannula every 2 - 3 days (if you are suffering from a cold, we would recommend daily cleaning). To clean the cannula, firstly wash in soapy water before rinsing with a solution made of 10 parts water to one part vinegar.
Can Multiple Users Use the Same Cannula?
It is not recommended for more than one user to use the same cannula. If you are in a household or facility with multiple people needing oxygen therapy, this pack is an ideal solution for saving money over buying smaller quantities more frequently.
Do the DeVilbiss Nasal Cannulae Feature Latex?
The DeVilbiss 2m Nasal Cannula does NOT include any latex in its materials, making it suitable for those who have a latex allergy.
