oxygen humidifiers

[Sony SO]

Dear All,

I would like to know the recommended infection control practices for reusable oxygen humidifiers, when reusable oxygen humidifiers (filled with sterile water) is using in the same patient, the raised questions are as follows:

(1) Recommended methods of disinfection, whether we need to use low level disinfection or high level disinfection.

(2) Recommended disinfection frequency.
