4.4 Disinfection
After cleaning, disinfect the dismantled nebuliser and accesso-
ries used (except the PARI SINUS tube system) (effective disin-
fection is only possible if the nebuliser has been cleaned).
A damp environment may encourage the growth of bacteria ...
In boiling water
• Place all the individual parts in boiling water for at least
5 minutes.
Use a clean pot and fresh drinking water.
If your water is very hard ...
Plastic will melt ...
• Rinse all parts thoroughly under
warm running water.
• You can remove excess water
more quickly by shaking all parts.
Remember to hold the cap of the
nebuliser upper section, otherwise
the hinge may be damaged by
shaking.
CAUTION
A damp environment may encourage the growth of bacteria.
Therefore, remove all parts from the pot or disinfector as soon as
disinfection has finished. Dry the parts. The
risk of infection
is
reduced when the parts are dried completely.
If your water is very hard, scale may be deposited on the
plastic parts as a milky coating. This can be prevented by
using softened water.
NOTICE
Plastic will melt if it comes into contact with the hot base of the
pot. Therefore, make sure there is plenty of water in the pot. This
way you will avoid
damaging the components
.
