CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
All cleaning operations must be performed with the plug of the appliance removed from the power supply socket. To avoid
anomalous appliance operation and the inhalation of undesired substances, clean the appliance and accessories immediately
after performing the treatment. The appliance and the accessory storage area should be cleaned using a cloth slightly
moistened with surgical alcohol. After cleaning the appliance, ensure that all alcohol has evaporated before re-use. Do not use
other liquids or substances for cleaning purposes. Do not use a wet cloth - if liquids come into contact with the electrical parts
of the appliance, operating defects or irreparable damage may be caused.
CLEANING THE ACCESSORIES
After use, and if necessary, before use, wash the accessories (not including the tube) carefully with tepid water and dry
them with a cloth. Then put the accessories into a clean storage area. When cleaning, ensure that all residue is removed
into contact with the skin or mucous, if ingested or inhaled. If it is necessary to disinfect the accessories, adopt the methods
approved by the regulations in force and in compliance with the resistance of the material.
Any residual humidity in the tube may be removed by leaving the aerosol nebuliser switched on without the ampoule connected
for a few minutes. If the tube is dirty, it should be replaced.
®
The accessories (not including the tube) may be disinfected using specific products such as the MILTON
method: they should
be rinsed to remove all traces of disinfectant, dried and stored in a dry and clean environment.
The accessories may be disinfected in boiling water (100°C) for at least 40 minutes or in an autoclave (120°C) for at least 20
minutes. Do not boil the tube. Do not put weights on the accessories and do not bend them; do not exceed the temperatures
indicated; After disinfection, store in clean bags. PVC accessories will lose their transparency in water or vapour;
this phenomenon will disappear after a few days in a dry environment and will not affect usability. All the accessories may be
disinfected up to a maximum of 100 times, following which they should be replaced. The frequency and interval between one
disinfection session and another should be established according to the discretion of the doctor and/or the clinic and according
to the pathology. The accessories should normally be disinfected prior to each change of patient. Do not wash the accessories
in a washing machine.
