Cleaning
The patient must clean the Narval CC appliance as per the instructions supplied in the patient
instructions for use:
PRECAUTION
• Before choosing an antibacterial denture cleanser, the patient should verify that they are not allergic
to any of its ingredients. The patient must always follow the instructions provided with it.
• The Narval CC appliance must not be put in water that is warmer than 45 °C/113 °F .
• The Narval CC appliance must not be cleaned using toothpaste, mouthwash or soap.
• The Narval CC appliance must not be cleaned using chlorine-based products, bleach, acetic acid,
household cleaning products or alcoholic solutions.
After every use, the patient shall proceed as
follows:
1. Remove the Narval CC appliance from mouth
and immerse in lukewarm drinking-quality
water in a clean glass or container.
2. Brush the Narval CC appliance all over for at
least 1 minute, paying particular attention to
the inner surface. Use a denture brush
or a toothbrush that is only used for cleaning
the Narval CC appliance. Replace the brush
when the bristles fray.
3. Rinse well with clean, lukewarm
drinking-quality water.
4. Carefully inspect the Narval CC appliance
to confirm it is visibly clean (e.g. no visible
particles remaining on the appliance).
If necessary, clean the appliance again,
repeating steps 2 through 4.
5. Once clean, dry the Narval CC appliance with
a clean towel and place it back in its storage
box.
Whitening protocol
If your patients complain about persistent
unaesthetic stains appearing on their device
over time, a specific whitening protocol for
the Narval CC appliance can be followed.
This protocol can be requested to your local
ResMed representative.
Twice a week, the patient should clean their
Narval CC appliance more thoroughly, using
an antibacterial denture cleanser intended for
orthodontic appliances, and proceed as follows:
1. Read the instructions on the antibacterial
denture cleanser carefully before use.
2. Clean the Narval CC appliance following
the instructions provided by the cleanser
manufacturer.
3. Rinse well with clean, drinking-quality water.
4. Dry with a clean towel and place back in its
storage box.
Over time, the splints of the Narval CC
appliance might change colour. This may be
due to the acidity of the patient's saliva,
coloured drinks or how well they take care of
their Narval CC appliance. This will not affect its
performance.
Storage and disposal
Please make sure the patient understands that:
• The Narval CC appliance must be clean and
dry before storage.
• The Narval CC appliance must be stored in
its storage box at room temperature in a dry
place away from direct sunlight.
• The Narval CC appliance and items do not
present specific hazards and can be disposed
of with normal household refuse.
