WARNING EMC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for medical devices to the IEC 60601-1:2014. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a typical medical installation. This
equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to other
devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to other
devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
Increase the separation between the equipment.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the other device(s) are
connected.
Consult the manufacturer or field service technician
for help.
CAUTION If there is a possibility of electro-magnetic
interference with mobile phones, please increase the
distance (3.3m) between devices or turn off the mobile
phone.
2. Introduction
2.1 Intended Use
The Salter AIRE Elite Compressor System is intended to
provide a source of compressed air for aerosol therapy. It is
used in conjunction with a jet (pneumatic) nebulizer to
produce medicated aerosols for inhalation by pediatric and
adult patients with respiratory symptoms.
CAUTION Aerosolize liquid medication except Pentamidine
for inhalation by the patients. Indications for therapy
include asthma, chronic bronchitis, infection of the upper
respiratory tract, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) and other respiratory disorders in accordance with a
medical doctor’s prescription. Except the usage mentioned
above, please do not use this product for any other purpose.
This device can be used with adults or pediatric patients
under physician’s prescription.
2.2 Safety Precaution Instruction
When using this electrical product, especially when children

Weak
Nebulization
•Check for proper electrical voltage.
•Check tubing for blockage or air leakage at
connection to Salter AIRE
Elite Compressor
or nebulizer cup, replace
as needed.
•Check the nebulizer cup if it is properly

result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in
improper operation.
3. Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals
such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no
closer than 30 cm (12 inches)
to any part of the
Compressor, including cables specified by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this
equipment could result.

5. Assemble the nebulizer cup and add indicated
medication to the nebulizer’s cup before use.
6. Attach the other end of the tubing into the air-inlet
connector founded at the bottom of the nebulizer cup.
7. Turn on the Salter AIRE
Elite Compressor by
pressing the power switch to the I (ON) position
and begin treatment.
8. If treatment needs to be interrupted, simply press
power switch to O (OFF) position.
9. When the treatment is complete, turn off the
compressor by pressing the power switch to O (OFF)
position and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
Equipment is not suitable for use in the presence
of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with
oxygen or nitrous oxide. This device has no AP or APG
protection.
CAUTION During the treatment, the patient should not
touch the outer case due to expected rise in unit
temperature.
4.2 Safety Overload
NOTE Do not exceed 30 minutes of continuous operation.
1. The motor of this device has a built-in thermal overload
protector. Should the motor overheat, the protector will
automatically shut off the motor. Should this occur, turn
the I/O (ON/OFF) switch to the O (OFF) position and
allow the motor to cool down for approximately 30
minutes before turn it on again.
2. If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently,
you may have an unstable voltage situation.
3. If the unit shuts down and cannot restart, it may need
to be replaced. Call your provider immediately.
5. Cleaning
5.1 Compressor Outer Case Cleaning
WARNING Electric shock hazard. Do not remove outer case
of this unit. All disassembly and maintenance of this unit
must be done by a qualified service technician. Refer

keep it dust-free.
2. Do not use any powdered type cleaners or soap. Do not
submerge the unit into water.
5.2. Nebulizer Cup Cleaning
Clean the nebulizer after each use. Refer to the cleaning
instructions supplied with your nebulizer
WARNING To prevent possible risk of infection from
contaminated medication, cleaning of the nebulizer is
recommended after each treatment.
NOTE The nebulizer kit is for single patient use only.
NOTE Please follow national requirements to dispose the
unit properly.
6. Storage
Keep the unit and accessories dry. Avoid direct sunshine.
See specifications in Section 10 for appropriate
environmental storage conditions.
7. Maintenance
7.1 General Information
1. This unit is oil-less. Do Not Lubricate.
2. Risk of electric shock. Do not disassemble the main unit.
7.2 Filter Change
NOTE Inspect the filter once every month
and replace as necessary or when filter
turns gray. Please follow the below
instructions as right figures.
1. Open the filter cap.
2. Inspect the filter and if dirty, remove
filter with a small, pointed object.
Discard the filter.
3. Replace with a clean filter. Additional
filters should be purchased from your
provider.
4. Put the filter cap back.
CAUTION Do not use cotton or any other material as a filter.
Do not wash or reuse the filter. Do not operate the unit
without
a filter.
7.3 Service
Except for the above instructed user maintenance, all device
servicing must be performed by a Salter Labs®authorized
service representative. There are no serviceable parts inside
the unit. Contact your Salter Labs dealer or authorized
service center if your unit needs repair.
WARNING Do not tamper with or attempt to repair the
device. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
8. Expected Service Life
The products are intended to offer safe and reliable
operation when used or installed according to the
instructions provided by Salter Labs. Salter Labs
recommends that the system be inspected and serviced by
authorized technicians if there are any signs of wear or
concerns with device function and indication on products.
Otherwise, service and inspection of the devices generally
should not be required.
9. Troubleshooting
If your Salter AIRE Elite Compressor fails to function,
consult the Troubleshooting guide below. If the problem
persists, consult your equipment provider.
Problem Cause and Solution
Device doesn’t
operate
•Check if plug is properly fit into an
appropriate electrical outlet.
•When device has been run continuously for
over 30 minutes right before using, an auto
shut down may activate by built-in thermal
protector, cool down device for 30 minutes
before next usage.
Weak
Nebulization
•Check for proper electrical voltage.
•Check tubing for blockage or air leakage at
connection to Salter AIRE
Elite Compressor
or nebulizer cup, replace
as needed.
•Check the nebulizer cup if it is properly
assembled and not damaged. If there is any
damage, replace as needed.
•Check if filter is too dirty, replace
as needed.
