Replacing Connector Bands - Oventus O2VENT OPTIMA Instructions For Use Manual

REPLACING CONNECTOR BANDS

The connector bands are essential for keeping your Optima
device assembled, with the lower jaw set at the chosen
position eg. with 19mm bands. The connector bands should
be replaced on each side every month as they may lose
elasticity. To identify when the bands need changing, compare
their length against a new band. If the bands are longer or
the holes stretch from circular to oval, it is time to change
both bands.
To remove a connector band from your Optima device,
pull the upper and lower device pieces apart (as shown in
diagram). Peel the band away from the wider end of the "lug"
and off the "lug" point.
To apply a connector band, hook the band over the pointed end
of the "lug" and pull gently to hook over the wider "lug" end.
