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 manufacturer. Disinfectants are usually available at pharmacies.
Sterilizing with steam
All nebuliser components (except air hose and masks) can be heat steam sterilized up to 121° C (20 min.) or 134° C (7 min.). 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
