2. PRESENTATION
What is an aerosol?
An aerosol is an air suspension of very fine medicinal particles.
Their size is below 10 microns.
Depending on the treatment, the device will be used as a classic
aerosol or as a sonic aerosol.
2.1. Classic aerosol = WITHOUT SOUND VIBRATIONS
AEROBOX –AEROBOX+ models
The particles fineness ensures a penetration till the alveoli of the lungs.
Their diameter is some micrometers.
The classic aerosol is used for broncho-pulmonary treatments: Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, Tracheitis,
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Pneumocystosis (Pneumocystis Jirovecii infection),
Pneumonitis.
The classic compressors are equipped with the EXTRANEB+ minidose nebulizing kit ref. NL9MXBR. They
also can be used with our other EXTRANEB CLASSIC nebulizing kits only.
For the Tobramycine nebulization, the EXTRANEB+ minidose nebulizing kit (with selector) must be used
with the AEROBOX+compressor.
2.2. Sonic aerosol = WITH 100 Hz SOUND VIBRATIONS
AEROSONIC –AEROSONIC+ models
An aerosol stream subjected to sound vibrations around 100 Hz is called "sonic aerosol".
The fineness of the particles is unchanged.
Aerosol particles are submitted to 100 Hz sound vibrations in order to modify their motion, i.e. the only
means to allow their penetration into the sinuses.
To allow the penetration of the aerosol particles, it is necessary to alternate (automatically or
manually) periods with vibrations (15 sec.) and periods without vibrations (15 sec.).
Pathologies: Rhinosinusitis, Sinusitis, Laryngitis.
The sonic aerosol compressor can be easily used in classic or in sonic mode, according to the treatment
wanted.
The sonic compressors are equipped with the EXTRANEB SONIC nasal nebulizing kit (ref. NL11SN). They
also can be used with EXTRANEB SONIC nebulizing kits only.
For sinusitis, a nose end-piece is recommended.
2.3. Identification
Each device has its own identification code (reference and unit) showing the manufacturing date,
manufacturing order and personal code.
Example: 68 078 HE 03
68: manufacturing year (68: 1950 + 68 = 2018)
078: day of the year
HE: personal code
03: number of order (in a series)

3. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
Aerosol treatments can only be done on medical prescription and within the prescribed doses.
Carefully keep these instructions for use as it provides necessary information for the good use of the
equipment.
Before connecting the device to the mains, check the values on the device (volts and Hz) and your
distribution network.
The warranty does not cover faulty connections.
Fragile medical device, to be manipulated with care.
Keep this medical device out of the reach of children or animals (potential risks with the tubes and
detachable part of the nebulizing kit).
Connect the device to an easily accessible plug, to allow a rapid disconnection from the mains.
The device has to be installed and put into service according to the information supplied with the
attached documents.
IMPORTANT REMARKS
Before connecting the device to the electric power supply, make sure that the nebulizing kit is
connected to the unit in order to avoid an abnormal noise.
If the compressor with the nebulizing kit is noisy, do not hesitate to contact your supplier.
Do not exceed 6 ml medicine in the nebulizing kit EXTRANEB+ MINIDOSE (NL9M) and EXTRANEB SONIC
NASAL (NL11SN).
Do not exceed the mark “full” printed on the nebulizing kits EXTRANEB and EXTRANEB SONIC.
Clean if necessary the jets of the nebulizer with hot water, without using any metal wire.
A modification of jets dimensions can have a bad effect on the particle size and on the therapeutic
aerosols efficiency.
Each nebulizing kit is intended for a single patient.
Caution: before using the device, make sure that the nebulizing kit is well mounted.
Check the jet is not clogged.
Caution: This medical device is directly connected to the electric power supply, do not use it in bath or
under the shower, do not immerse.
Keep this medical device away from any high heat source.
Store properly the electric cord and the tubes after each use.
Pureneb devices are designed to operate at altitudes less than or equal to 3 000 meters.
No special knowledge or training is required to use Pureneb devices.
The electric cord cannot be replaced by the maintenance staff.
An animal can eat the electric cord. Thoroughly check the state of the equipment before use.

The patient is an intended operator. He can use all functions of the device safely.
Contact the manufacturer if you need help to set up, use or maintain the medical device and to report
any unexpected operation or event.
PARTICULAR WARNINGS
Do not open the device when connected to the main (electrical shock hazard).
Side effects: for corticoids, it is better to use a mouth or nose piece. Otherwise, if the mask is used, it is
recommended to rinse one's face and/or mouth after the session. Refer to the medicine instructions
for use.
Side effects: a risk of allergy of the body parts in touch with the mask or nose/mouth pieces can
appear.
Performances supplied by the manufacturer may not apply to drugs in suspension or in very viscous
form. In that case, it is necessary to check with the supplier of the drug.
This device is to be used in health care establishment or at home.
Do not use the device outdoors, near a heat source or near a waterhole (bathtub, sink…).
After use, disconnect the device from the mains.
Make sure the device is not exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Do not touch the device for more than 10 seconds during use.
Do not touch the tube for more than a minute during the device use (its temperature can reach 54 °C
maximum in case of defect).
The mains plug is the disconnecting device and must always be accessible.
Devices not to be used in presence of a mixture of inflammable anaesthetic with air or oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
HOW TO INHALE?

The patient should be relaxed, seated in an upright position.

Breathe deeply: * through the mouth with a classic aerosol, using rather the mouth piece,
for broncho-pulmonary treatments.
* through the nose with a sonic aerosol, using rather the nose piece, for
ENT treatments.

After each deep inspiration, hold your breath and then slowly exhale. Respect generally a minimal
10 minutes-duration to allow a good aerosols deposition in respiratory ways.
The nebulizing duration can be reduced with the AEROBOX+ or AEROSONIC+ units.
IN ALL CASES YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW YOUR MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION

5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
FOR A GOOD HYGIENE:
Before the first use, disinfect your jet nebulizing kit in boiling water
(20 minutes). Require it in its original packaging.
Wash your hand carefully before each inhalation session.
Connect the kit tube(s) to the unit outlet(s) according to the
instructions for use that you will find on the compressor and in the
kit’s box.
Take off the upper part of the nebulizing kit by unscrewing it and pour medication
in the tank without exceeding the “full” mark (3,5 ml for 10 min.). Put back the
upper part.
Switch on the compressor (switch on I).
Only for sonic aerosols:
Automatic control: switch on "sonic aerosol" position. Sound vibrations automatically alternate with
periods without sound vibrations.
AFTER AN AEROSOLS TREATMENT:
Switch off the compressor (switch on O).
Disconnect both tubes of the nebulizing kit.
Rinse the nebulizing kit with hot water.
Let it dry.
Follow the instructions printed on the box for the dismantling of the
PURENEB® nebulizing kit.
PURENEB®nebulizing kits support the dishwasher and the boiling water.
Make sure that the jet is correctly inserted.
6. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Never use ether or solvent like acetone.
The cleaning with alcohol is authorized.
CLEANING OF THE COMPRESSOR
After each use, cleaning is limited to external parts, using a non-abrasive sponge soaked with alcohol or
with a disinfecting product recommended by the manufacturer (Anios Surfa'safe Premium).
Jet

11/12
MAINTENANCE OF THE COMPRESSOR
The compressor does not need any preventive maintenance.
CLEANING OF THE JET NEBULIZING KIT
After each treatment, clean the jets by making the nebulizing kit operate with water. Then disconnect the
tubes coming from the compressor and clean the nebulizing kit with hot water.
The nebulizing kit can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
DISINFECTION OF THE NEBULIZING KIT
The dismantling and disinfection instructions are mentioned on the case-box.
The complete nebulizing kit, mask and tubes, can be disinfected in boiling water (20 minutes).
As a hygiene measure, a new complete nebulizing kit is sold at each prescription.
Nota: after cleaning in boiling water the tubes colour can change (whiter) but this would not change the
good operating of your nebulizing kit.
