Equipment Maintenance
Equipment maintenance is very important in your child's care. Cleaning the equipment as directed helps prevent infection. Maintaining the equipment as directed also insures the safety and proper functioning of the equipment.
The maintenance of your equipment will vary based on your child's needs. Equipment will also vary from different equipment companies. That is why you will need to follow your equipment company's recommendations for maintenance. Your equipment company will meet with you in your home before your child leaves the hospital. They will teach you how to use and maintain the equipment. The equipment company will also have a person on call 24 hours a day should you have any questions or problems.
