A. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - LC®SPRINT
CAUTION
US Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician. Use only when prescribed by a
physician and with the prescribed medication.
The LC®Sprint is a handheld nebulizer, designed to
aerosolize medication approved for nebulization and
prescribed by a physician. The LC®Sprint is intended for
adult and pediatric patients consistent with the indications
for the aerosol medication. Improper use can result in
serious or fatal illness or injury. Nebulizer is not sterile.
WARNING
Use only when prescribed by a physician and with the
prescribed medication. In order to achieve the specified
droplet characteristics the compressor or central air supply
must provide 3.5 - 8 lpm at a minimum of 20psi.
WARNING
1. To reduce the risk of increased bacterial growth,
infection, illness, or injury from contamination:
thoroughly clean and dry all parts of the nebulizer and
thoroughly dry any moisture or condensation in the
tubing at the end of every treatment following the
enclosed instructions.
2. Cleaning the nebulizer after each treatment is not
enough---you must regularly disinfect or sterilize the
nebulizer between treatments to prevent serious or
fatal illness caused by contamination of the nebulizer.
3. Never use a nebulizer with a clogged nozzle. If the
nozzle is clogged, the aerosol mist will be reduced,
altered or stopped, which will diminish or eliminate
the effectiveness of the treatment. If clogging occurs,
replace with the same model PARI Reusable Nebulizer.
4. Close supervision is necessary when this product is
used by or near children and physically or mentally
impaired. Never use when sleeping or drowsy.
5. This product contains small parts that may present
a choking hazard to small children. The tubing also
presents a strangulation hazard. ALWAYS USE CLOSE
ADULT SUPERVISION WHEN ADMINISTERING A
TREATMENT TO A CHILD. DO NOT LEAVE CHILD
UNATTENDED DURING TREATMENT.
6. Patients under the age of 4 or any patients who have
special needs should use a facemask instead of the
valved mouthpiece.
7. Before use, check PARI Reusable Nebulizer for proper
assembly. All parts should be seated firmly in place.
Use of an improperly assembled nebulizer could
diminish or prevent ad equate delivery of medication
and the effectiveness of the treatment.
Welcome to the Vios experience! The Vios™
Aerosol Delivery System is designed from
PARI’s long legacy of clinically proven products
and consists of two important components:
a Vios™compressor and a PARI nebulizer.
Vios™was inspired by the Latin and Greek
words for “Life” and our goal is to improve
your quality of “Life” through the efficient
delivery of aerosol.
Your physician has prescribed the Vios™to
treat your respiratory symptoms because
of PARI’s reputation for consistent particle
size and fast treatments resulting in targeted
delivery to the lungs. PARI products have
been used in more than 25 clinical trials for
new nebulized medications. Designed with the
patient in mind, these instructions will help you
achieve the best aerosol therapy experience.
We hope the Vios experience allows for a
“Life Inspired”.

properly clean and/or disinfect your nebulizer prior to
first use. Re-assemble nebulizer.
2. Set-up Compressor: Place the compressor on a
flat, stable surface free of dust. Avoid cushioned,
upholstered or carpeted surfaces. Make sure power
switch is turned to , the “OFF” position. Plug power
cord into wall outlet (Fig A). Activate and attach the
Timestrip®label to the front on the Vios™Compressor
as explained in Section E.
3. ConnectTubing To Compressor: Insert one end of
Wing Tip™tubing to the air outlet on the compressor.
It should fit snugly (Fig. B).
4. Load Medication: Open the inspiratory valve cap of
nebulizer by lifting the cap (Fig. C). Pour medication into
nebulizer cup. Never fill past the max. fill line of 8 ml.
5. Attach Mouthpiece or Mask: If using the mouthpiece,
attach the mouthpiece to the nebulizer outlet with the
expiratory valve facing up. Then close the inspiratory
valve cap by pressing firmly on the nebulizer top. If
using a mask, refer to the mask instructions for use.
6. Attach TubingTo Nebulizer Cup: Firmly press the other
end of the Wing Tip™tubing to bottom of PARI
reusable nebulizer (Fig. D).
7. Starting Treatment: Sit in a relaxed, upright position and
turn the compressor “ON” .
8. Nebulizer Position: Place the mouthpiece on top of
tongue and close lips around it. Take slow, deep
breaths. As you inhale, the inhalation valve opens.
9. Breathing: For mouthpiece, inhale and exhale slowly
through your mouth. As you exhale, the valve on
the mouthpiece opens to allow the exhaled mist to
escape. For mask, place mask over nose and mouth
and inhale and exhale slowly.
10. CompleteTreatment: Continue until the medication is
gone or you hear a slight “sputtering” sound. Turn
compressor “OFF” .
A NOTE ON TREATMENT TIME
Please note that many factors affect treatment time,
such as a patient’s age, condition, breathing pattern, and
medication. The Vios™was designed for intermittent use
to deliver respiratory medications, not continuous use
for humidification or prolonged treatments (for example,
over 35 minutes at one time). It is possible with prolonged
treatments that the tubing may get warm and disconnect
from the Vios™air outlet. If your physician prescribed
consecutive (back to back) treatments, resulting in the
use of your Vios™for longer than 35 minutes at a time,
please contact PARI Patient Connection at 1.800.FAST.NEB
(327.8632).
