Dear all,

Does any one out there know of any particular maintainence standards for Suck/Blow switches? These devices seem ideal for very quickly building up microbial activity. Obviously, this is a tremendous hazard when it comes to switch users who are susceptible to upper respiratory infections but for whom this sort of switch may be the best option.  Alternatively, does anyone out there have experience of adapting the hardware slightly (or considerably) in order to reduce the risk?

Thank you.

Regards,
