Always disinfect the device parts before first use, and if the device has not
been used for a long time, and also after the last treatment session of a day.
After each use remove any remaining medication and clean the nebulizer
parts. This will prevent inefficient nebulization and reduce risk of infection.
Please refer to the instructions below
ƔCleaning the Nebulizer Kit, Masks, Mouthpiece and Adapter:
Fully disassemble the nebulizer kit. Wash the parts in warm water and mild, neutral
detergent. Rinse them thoroughly with clean hot tap water, gently tap to remove
excess water and allow to air dry in a clean place. It is advisable to replace the
Nebulizer Kit after some 100 to 120 treatments or after about 20 boiling cycles.
ƔCleaning the Compressor:
Firstly, make sure that the power plug is unplugged from the power outlet.
Wipe clean with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild, neutral detergent.
ƔRemoving condensation from the Air Tube:
If moisture remains in the air tube, follow the procedure described below. Make sure
that the air tube is connected to the compressor. Disconnect the air tube from the
nebulizer kit. Turn on the compressor and dry the air tube by passing air through it.
ƔDisinfecting the Nebulizer Kit, Masks, Mouthpiece and Adapter:
Always disinfect the parts before using the product for the first time and
after the product has not been used for an extended period of time as
well as after the last treatment of the day. If the parts are heavily stained,
replace them with new ones. The Nebulizer Kit, Masks, Mouthpiece and
Adapter can be disinfected by using a chemical disinfectant such as ethanol,
sodium hypochlorite (Milton), Quaternary ammonium (Osvan), Chlorhexidine
(Hibitane) and Amphoteric Surfactant (Tego), following product instructions
and rinsing off with clean warm water. Leave to air-dry.
Note: Never clean with benzene, thinner or a flammable chemical. The
(non-latex) elastic bands cannot be disinfected. Remove them when
disinfecting the masks.
ƔBoiling:
The Nebulizer Kit, Mouthpiece and Adapter can also be disinfected by boiling
between 15 to 20 minutes in plenty of water. After boiling, carefully remove
the parts, shake off excess water and allow to air-dry in a clean environment.
Note: Do not boil the Mask and the Air Tube.
