Hi Leah
We have recently begun fit testing with a machine with twin tubing and have been reusing the tubing as per the manufacturer. We have noticed condensation in the tubing and are concerned that this might permit cross contamination of users. Do you have any thoughts on this?
We considered reprocessing the tubing but that means having to buy lots of tubing.
Many thanks
Hayden
