Indications
The Pep/Rmt™set is used to increase reduced lung volumes, decrease high lung volumes, to evacu-
ate sputum and to increase strength and endurance in the inspiratory muscles.
Caution
Since the tidal volume of certain patients (e.g. infants or severe obstructive lung disease) can be in
parity with the dead space volume of the mask, there is a risk for raised CO2levels in the re-inspired
air. PEP treatment for such patients should therefore only be initiated by specialists and with caution.
If the treatment makes you feel dizzy or sick, or if it is unpleasantly strenuous, consult your physio-
therapist.
Instructions for use
The Pep/Rmt device consists of;
1. Valve
2. Mouthpiece or face mask
3. Resistor/s
4. Manometer with T-connector
5. Tracheostomy adapter
Parts 1–3 must be tted together to use the device.
For tracheostomy patients use part 1, 3 and 5.
In order to get feedback from your breathing technique the Pep/Rmt manometer (4)can be mounted
between the valve and resistor.
Consult your physiotherapist for instructions regarding breathing technique, treatment program
including choice of resistor/s.
If you are using the mask, make sure to keep the mask tight against your face to avoid air leakage.
If you are using the mouthpiece, make sure to seal your lips around the mouthpiece to avoid air
leakage.
Cleaning instructions
The steps below are generally recommended for cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing the products.
Table 1 shows the different parts, the material and the proper cleaning, disinfection and sterilizing
methods for the parts in question.
Disassemble the parts before cleaning. The T-connector (polypropylene) is a single-use product. If
reused, Wellspect HealthCare cannot guarantee the functionality or the safety of the product. Reuse
can cause contamination.
Manual washing or washing machine
Wash the parts in warm water using a detergent suitable for the products’ materials. Rinse all parts
thoroughly in clean water to remove all detergent residues.
Automatic washing machines designed for medical equipment will normally include program cycles
for heat disinfection.
Disinfection, boiling
Use clean water, boil parts for at least 10 minutes.

Disinfection, chemicals
Numerous brands of detergents and chemical disinfections are available. To avoid premature mate-
rial deterioration only use compatible detergent and chemical disinfectant brands. See list of materi-
als in table 1. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the detergent or chemical disinfectant as
to dilution and exposure time. Substances containing phenol should be avoided. After exposing the
parts to the chemical disinfectant, rinse thoroughly in clean water to remove all residues.
Autoclaving, 121°C / 134°C
Use standard autoclaving equipment adjusted for max 121°C, or 134°C, whichever is applicable for
the product.
Drying and cooling
Leave parts to dry and/or cool completely before reassembling the part.
Inspection of parts
After cleaning, disinfecting and/or sterilizing carefully inspect all parts for damage or excessive wear
and replace if necessary. In case of material deterioration, e.g. cracking, the parts should be replaced.
Note:
Some methods may cause discolouration of silicone parts without having an impact on their function.
The face masks have an expected lifetime of 1–3 years, depending on usage.
