Notes on Nebuliser Care
Caution
1 Do not immerse machine in water.
2 Physician prescribed use only.
3 Never use more frequently than prescribed.
4 If therapy is having no effect, consult physician.
Cleaning
In order that you benefit fully from your equipment, it is important that the machine and accessories
are kept in a clean condition.
Ensure that the medication chamber is taken apart and washed in warm soapy water, rinsed and
allowed to dry completely after each use. The jet holes should be blown clear by attaching the
chamber to the air outlet from the compressor and running the machine for a few moments.
We advise that the tube is disconnected from both the outlet nozzle and the chamber after each use
to prolong the life of the connector.

It is recommended that the following disposable items should be changed as follows:
Nebuliser chamber change every 1 - 3 months
Inlet filter disc
Driveline change every 3 - 6 months
Face mask
Mouthpiece/tee-piece change every 6 - 12 months
Only nebuliser chambers supplied or approved by CCI should be used.
