CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
Thoroughly clean all components to remove medication residuals and possible impurities after each treatment. The compressor 1 and the air hose 6 should be
cleaned with a clean, moist cloth.
Always wash your hands well before cleaning and disinfecting the accessories.
Do not expose the compressor to water or heat.
Replace the air hose for each treatment with a new patient or in case of impurities.
Unplug the device before cleaning.
Cleaning with water
Wash all nebuliser components (except air hose) under warm tap water (max 60 °C) for about 5 minutes adding if necessary a small quantity of detergent following
dosage and use limitations as provided by detergent manufacturer. Rinse thoroughly making sure that all deposits are washed away and leave to dry.
Disinfecting
All nebuliser components (except air hose) can be disinfected with chemical disinfectants following dosage and use limitations as provided by disinfectant manu-
facturer. Disinfectants are usually available at pharmacies.
Sterilizing with steam
All nebuliser components (except air hose and ma-sks) can be heat steam sterilized up to 121 °C (20 min.) or 134 °C (7 min.). EN554/ISO11134. The sterilization packa-
ging must conform to EN868/ISO11607 and be suitable for steam sterilization. After sterilization always let all components cool down to ambient temperature before
further use. Do not repeat sterilization cycle when components are still warm.
MAINTENANCE, CARE, AND SERVICE
Order all spare parts from your dealer or pharmacist.
It is advisable replace nebulizer after some 100 to 120 treatments on single patient or after about 20 sterilization cycles. Check the filter continually for cleanliness
and replace it if dirty, or after a maximum of 3 months use. Spare filters are provided with the device. To replace the filter, open the air filter ompartment 4 marked
«Filter» and change the filter 11.
MALFUNCTIONS AND ACTIONS TO TAKE
The device cannot be switched on
Ensure the power cord 2 is correctly plugged into the socket. Ensure the ON/OFF switch 3 is in the position «I». The device has automatically switched off due to
overheating. Wait until it has cooled down and try again.
The nebuliser functions poorly or not at all
Ensure the air hose 6 is correctly connected at both ends. Ensure the air hose is not squashed, bent, dirty or blocked. If necessary, replace with a new one. Ensure the
nebuliser 5 is correctly assembled 12. Ensure the required medication has been added.
DISPOSAL PROCEDURE (Dir. 2012/19/Ue-WEEE)
The symbol on the bottom of the device indicates the separated collection of electric and electronic equipment.
At the end of life of the device, do not dispose it as mixed solid municipal waste, but dispose it referring to a specific collection centre located in your
area or returning it to the distributor, when buying a new device of the same type to be used with the same functions. This procedure of separated
collection of electric and electronic devices is carried out forecasting a European environmental policy aiming at safeguarding, protecting and impro-
ving environment quality, as well as avoiding potential effects on human health due to the presence of hazardous substances in such equipment or to an improper
use of the same or of parts of the same. Caution! The wrong disposal of electric and electronic equipment may involve sanctions.
