There are 5 sizes, and the most common one depends on the target audience. Generally, children use mask sizes 1-3, while adults use sizes 4-5.

It is important that the air gap between the inner and outer mask is not compressed. Hold the mask loosely and comfortably with three fingertips: the thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Imagine a vacuum cleaner nozzle where a piece of paper gets sucked up and lays across the opening, causing noise to occur. The same principle applies when the mask is pressed against the patient and the gap is squeezed together. Additionally, the suction ability will be reduced.
It is important that the mask is held in the correct way to minimize noise and cold hands. The mask is placed over the patient’s nose and mouth, and the hoses may be placed in a hose holder, which allows the mask to essentially stay in place by itself. Use three fingertips—thumb, index finger, and middle finger—to loosely hold the mask in the correct position over the nose and mouth. The remaining fingers are used to lift the chin for an open airway. Any leakage around the mask is handled by the Double Mask’s suction system.
The Double Mask should be cleaned between each patient. Follow the instructions in the Double Mask manual.

Most common is to use a flow rate of 27m³/h (450 m/min). In exceptional cases, such as when using the Double Mask + chin mask, a high flow rate of 35m³/h (583 m/min) is used.
Hytrell hoses have a lifespan of 200 uses or a maximum of 24 months. Evacuation hoses have a lifespan of 24 washes or a maximum of 24 months.
Hytrel and evacuation hoses should be cleaned after a day’s use. The evacuation hose should be washed according to the hospital’s hygiene policy; otherwise, we at Medicvent recommend washing the hose once a month and as needed.
We sell certain hoses as disposable. Please contact Medicvent for more information.

Our smoke evacuation system fits most well-known brands on the market. However, we at Medicvent recommend using a good diathermy pencil with a slightly larger diameter on the suction channel.
