Cleaning

Routinely following a few simple maintenance steps will help keep both you and your Sip-n-Puff device healthy!

  • When to Clean Your Sip-n-Puff Stick:

    • When 2 weeks have passed.

    • When a second person needs to share a Sip-n-Puff stick.  

  • How to Clean Your Stick

    • To remove the stick from the Sip-n-Puff device, firmly hold the base of the magnet holder and gently twist the stick counterclockwise.

    • Next remove the white spongy Saliva filter from the stick.

    • The stick can now be cleaned in the dishwasher or by hand.  

*Warning*: If moisture gets into the Sip & Puff mechanism of the device, this puts your system at risk for failure and costly repairs! Hence it is critical to replace parts when necessary and clean your stick periodically to ensure no moisture enters the internal parts. Replacements found here: QuadJoy Supplies.

  • General Cleaning Procedure

    • Use disinfectant wipes on the full Sip-n-Puff assembly, stick, mounting arm, clamps, and cables.  Note: We recommend a wipe over a spray to avoid liquids entering the mouse.  

    • Allow the system to dry.
