Why Breelib may be doing
something unusual or unexpected

For full instructions please refer to the Breelib Inhalation System Instructions for Use. 3
Introduction to Breelib information sheet 9
There may be a time when Breelib does something that you have never seen it do before
or when the device behaves in an unexpected way. This document will provide you with
examples of what Breelib users have reported as being unusual as well as why these can
happen and how to avoid them.

Things that can happen if the ON/OFF button
gets jammed in the base unit
If the ON/OFF button is pressed too hard and often, the button can start to get jammed in the
white plastic casing of the base unit when pressed. When this happens you will be able to see
that the bottom part of the button gets stuck in the base unit and pressing the top part of the
button will release it. When the ON/OFF button gets jammed in the base unit, a number of things
can happen:
a) Bluetooth can turn ON
Bluetooth is wireless technology that allows Breelib to send information it stores about the
doses you take to an app called BreeConnect®. Bluetooth is turned ON when you press and
hold down the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds or more. When Bluetooth is ON all of the lights on
Breelib turn ON as well as the Bluetooth light which will blink blue (figure 2).
When the ON/OFF button gets stuck in the base unit, Breelib may think that the button is being
held down to turn Bluetooth ON, instead of being pressed just once to turn Breelib ON to take
a dose.
For more information about the BreeConnect app, please see www.Breelib.co.uk or speak with
an agent from the Breelib Support Centre.

b) Breelib can turn OFF unexpectedly part-way
through taking a dose
When Breelib is ON, pressing and holding down the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds or more will
turn Breelib OFF (figure 3). When Breelib is ON and you are part-way through taking a dose, if
the ON/OFF button gets stuck in the base unit Breelib may think that the button is being held
down to turn Breelib OFF.
If this happens, lightly press the top half of the button to release the button then lightly press the
top half of the ON/OFF button once to turn Breelib ON and finish taking your dose.
After finishing your dose call the Breelib Support Centre to let them know who can arrange for
a replacement and for the collection of your faulty device.
You should fully charge the base unit from your RESERVE Breelib Starter Pack and use it to
take your future doses.
c) The lights on Breelib can randomly turn
ON and OFF
When the ON/OFF button gets jammed in the base unit, the lights on Breelib may turn ON and
OFF in a random way.
If you notice that the ON/OFF button on Breelib starts to get jammed in the base unit when it is
pressed, use the base unit from your RESERVE Breelib Starter Pack and let the Breelib Support
Centre know as soon as possible and they will arrange for a replacement and for the collection
of your faulty device.
To avoid the ON/OFF button getting jammed in the new base unit, Breelib should be turned ON
by lightly pressing the ON/OFF button once.
If water gets onto the electrics inside the base unit, the lights on Breelib can start to randomly
turn ON. Always keep Breelib away from water and only clean the base unit by wiping the
plastic surfaces with a clean damp cloth or disinfecting wipe. If the base unit gets wet, use
the base unit from your RESERVE Breelib Starter Pack and let the Breelib Support Centre
know as soon as possible who can arrange a replacement and for the collection of your
faulty device.

All the lights on Breelib have started to
turn ON after finishing each dose
Bluetooth is wireless technology that allows Breelib to send information it stores about the doses
you take to an app called BreeConnect®. After Breelib has connected with the BreeConnect app
for the first time, Bluetooth on the device will start to automatically turn ON straight after each
dose has been finished. When Bluetooth is ON, all the lights on Breelib turn on including the
Bluetooth light (figure 2).
If you are not using the BreeConnect app at home or do not want to update your dose
information on the app, lightly press the ON/OFF button once to turn Bluetooth OFF or wait
60 seconds and it will turn itself OFF.
For more information about the BreeConnect app, please see www.Breelib.co.uk or speak with
an agent from the Breelib Support Centre.
3
When trying to turn Breelib ON to take a dose
all the lights turn ON instead
If you press and hold down the ON/OFF button for too long when trying to turn Breelib
ON, Bluetooth will turn ON instead. All the lights on Breelib will turn ON (figure 2) when
Bluetooth is ON.
Lightly press the ON/OFF button once to turn Bluetooth OFF then wait a few seconds.
Now lightly press the ON/OFF button once to turn Breelib ON and take your dose.

The battery light blinks orange and the mouthpiece
lights up orange for 2 seconds
If there is not enough battery charge to take a
full dose, the battery light will blink orange and
the mouthpiece will light up orange (figure 4) for
2 seconds before Breelib turns OFF. This can
happen when you try to turn Breelib ON to take
a dose, or immediately after you have finished
taking a dose. Because of the way Breelib has
been designed, the battery should not run out of
charge part-way through taking a dose.
For help with the battery or charging Breelib
please see Breelib information sheet 1.
5
The mouthpiece light blinks orange
but Breelib does not turn OFF
When you are part-way through taking a dose and the mouthpiece light blinks orange but
Breelib remains ON, the nebuliser unit may not be fitted correctly. Unclip the nebuliser unit
on both sides and lift away keeping it flat to stop drug from moving around inside. Ensure the
mouthpiece is firmly in place before securely clipping back into the base unit on both sides.
If the problem continues, after finishing your dose, clean the mouthpiece and nebuliser unit
and place in the household recycling or waste bin and use the new Monthly Pack from your
RESERVE Breelib Starter Pack. Let the Breelib Support Centre know as soon as possible who
will arrange for a replacement spare.

Breelib ‘beeps’ constantly
or the lights turn ON randomly
If Breelib gets wet the water can damage the electrics inside the base unit. If the device’s
electrics become damaged, Breelib can behave in a variety of ways which cannot be predicted:
Breelib can become completely unresponsive when you try and use the device
Breelib can start to ‘beep’ constantly
Individual lights on the device may turn ON without any buttons being pressed
Breelib will not charge
Resetting the device does not resolve the issue
If water gets inside the base unit and Breelib is behaving in an unusual way and you cannot
take your dose, use the base unit from your RESERVE Breelib Starter Pack and let the Breelib
Support Centre know as soon as possible who will arrange a replacement and for the collection
of your damaged device.
When using a new base unit, always fully charge it the first chance you get. The battery is fully
charged when the green battery light stops blinking.
To prevent water damage, keep the base unit away from water when cleaning and boiling the
nebuliser unit and mouthpiece. If the base unit needs cleaning, the plastic surfaces can be
wiped with a clean damp cloth or a disinfecting wipe.

Other electrical equipment can possibly
interfere with Breelib during use
There is a possibility that using Breelib too close to other electrical items, such as a mobile
telephone, can cause interference with the device.
If you are using Breelib near other electrical gadgets and notice that the device starts to behave
differently, lightly press and hold down the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds or until the device
turns OFF. Now move away from the possible source of the electrical interference before lightly
pressing the ON/OFF button once to turn Breelib back ON and finish taking your dose.
If this happens, please let the Breelib Support Centre know as soon as possible. Any information
you can provide about the kind of electrical equipment you suspect to have caused the
interference would be helpful.
