Use of the cleaning container

Maintenance of the valve is enabled by the use of a special cleaning container and denture cleansing tablets, as can be seen in the video clip. Detailed instruction about the use of this container is written in the manual. The clinician should practice the use of this cleaning container with the patient in order to avoid damage to the valve caused by improper use of the cleaning container.
