How to Use Provox HME Cap?

Warnings:

• It can be used only with Provox HME Cassette
• Attach the device by means of any Provox Adhesive base plate or Provox LaryTube 
• Close the front opening of the cap manually when speaking with a voice prosthesis 
• Replace the HME cassette every 24 hours (more frequently if needed) 
• The cap itself can be cleaned and reused
  • Always assemble the device (HME cassette and cap) carefully before use
  • If the cap should detach from the 11%1E cassettes during use, you must remove the complete adhesive base plate from the stoma, with the HME cassette still mounted in the base plate 
  • Do not try to manipulate in any other way, and never try to re-attach the cap
  • Never remove the foam from the HME cassette, this would eliminate the HME features and can damage the cassette casing 
  • Can also increase the risk of inhaling particles from the device 
  • Do not reuse the time cassette or the foam like after washing out  
  • Washing eliminates the calcium chloride needed for a sufficient LIME function and can increase the risk of infection
