Place the prepared refilling system (A) onto the nebulizer
chamber instead of the lid. Connect the hoses and secure the
refilling system in place with the down-holding device.
The height difference between the nebulizer chamber and the
container (bag/bottle) must not exceed 1000 mm.
Pierce the container with the transfer set (E), e.g., Intrafix Air
by B. Braun or Caleo transfer set (MX17018). Do not kink the
hose.
The container must be ventilated maintaining sterile condi-
tions.
Functional test of refilling system
When the container has been connected, check operation of the
float:
Fluid runs into the nebulizer chamber.
Feed stops automatically when the fluid has reached its level
(range between min. and max. mark).
In the event of a fault, clean the float valve and check operation
again. Then put the ultrasonic nebulizer into operation.
End of operation of refilling system
After operation, lock the feed of the container, e.g., by closing the
knurled screw on the transfer set (E).
