What is an Oxygen humidifier?
Oxygen humidifier is a small part of the central oxygen supply system,which is used by medical institutions to inhale oxygen to patients.The water that can be added to the Oxygen humidifier is usually distilled water or purified water.These water have relatively few impurities,which can not only humidify,but also affect the nasal mucosa,so as to improve the comfort of patients.
Classification of Oxygen humidifiers
The main function of Oxygen humidifier is to humidify dry oxygen and moisturize oxygen.Oxygen humidifiers are divided into embedded type and external type.
The external hanging Oxygen humidifier is independent of the outside of the fuselage,which is convenient to observe the water level.The external Oxygen humidifier is easy to operate,easy to disassemble and clean.It is convenient to inject water,and it can be cleaned once a week or two to reject bacteria.Many problems of embedded Oxygen humidifier are solved.All household oxygen generators use external Oxygen humidifiers,and embedded Oxygen humidifiers are not allowed to be sold.
The embedded Oxygen humidifier is embedded in the fuselage,and the water level cannot be observed clearly.Integrated with the fuselage,the shape is very beautiful.The water injection nozzle is only the size of a finger,and the water injection is cumbersome.Unable to clean thoroughly,more than 96%of the cleaning dead corners in the bottle will produce scale or moss,breed bacteria and lead to unclean oxygen after three months of use.
Usage of Oxygen humidifier
The Oxygen humidifier is relatively convenient to use.When connecting,you only need to align with the oxygen terminal on the equipment and insert it with force,provided that the Oxygen humidifier matching the oxygen terminal system is used;To remove the Oxygen humidifier,hold the Oxygen humidifier with your left hand,and press the two farthest points from the oxygen terminal with your thumb and index finger with your right hand,that is,the two points through which the diameter of the oxygen terminal passes,and the Oxygen humidifier will exit automatically.
Precautions for Oxygen humidifier
There are also some precautions for the use of Oxygen humidifiers.Oxygen humidifiers are divided into disposable Oxygen humidifiers and reusable Oxygen humidifiers.Because of the risk of cross infection of compound Oxygen humidifiers,disposable Oxygen humidifiers are more used in the market in recent years.It was just mentioned that there is a risk of cross infection due to repeated use of the compound Oxygen humidifier,so when using the compound Oxygen humidifier,attention must be paid to the cleaning and disinfection of the Oxygen humidifier.One person should use one Oxygen humidifier for disinfection.When cleaning the Oxygen humidifier,soak it in 0.5%84 disinfectant for 30min,rinse it with clean water,and finally pour it on a sterile towel to dry,The formula to be noted must be sterile,and finally put it in the special container for disinfection for standby.It should be noted that the validity period of the Oxygen humidifier in the standby state of disinfection is one week,so the date should be marked after disinfection.
