Substituição do equipamento

Para ajudar os pacientes manterem a adesão e o conforto durante a terapia, é fundamental que substituam seus equipamentos quando necessário.

Reserve um tempo informar seus pacientes sobre quando e como substituir os componentes dos produtos que usam e como isso está associado ao conforto e à eficácia da terapia.

As peças que precisam ser substituídas com mais regularidade incluem tubos, filtros e máscaras
