6. Patients who use a 2.5 ml volume fill will generally
find that the
PRO
NEB
♦
ULTRA will deliver the treat-
ment in less than 10 minutes. Treatment time is
always a variable based on the patient’s age and
condition. The
PRO
NEB
♦
ULTRA was designed for
intermittent use to deliver respiratory medications,
not continuous use for humidification or prolonged
treatments (over 35 minutes at one time). It is pos-
sible that with prolonged treatments the tubing may
get warm and disconnect from the
PRO
NEB
♦
ULTRA.
If you are a patient and will be using the
PRO
NEB
♦
ULTRA for back to back treatments that are longer
than 35 minutes combined, please contact PARI
Patient Connection at 1.877.943.3931, then press 1
for tips on prolonged treatments.
Note: Your
PRO
NEB
♦
ULTRA Compressor has a nebulizer hold-
er on the front of the unit (Fig. C). This nebulizer holder
allows the nebulizer to be placed in the front of the
PRO
NEB
♦
ULTRA with the tubing attached.

VII. Maintenance Of The PRONEB
♦
ULTRA
Tubing Maintenance
If there is any moisture or condensation in the tubing after
the treatment, let the compressor run with only the tubing
attached for a few minutes. The warm air from the compres-
sor will dry the moisture or condensation in the tubing. Use
a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the tubing.
Filter
The Clear View™ Filter on the front of the
PRO
NEB
♦
ULTRA
Compressor was designed to be monitored without removing
it. This makes it easy to check without much work. When the
filter is new, it is bright white in color. Over time, the filter
will turn grey, which means it is time to replace it. You must
also replace the filter if it gets wet or becomes clogged. There
is no reason to remove the filter until you are ready to replace
it. The filter is rated to last 500 hours of use before replace-
ment is required. A good general rule is to replace the filter
whenever you replace your PARI Reusable Nebulizer.
For filter replacement, obtain the replacement filter set part
#85F0012 which includes the filter and the filter removal tool
(Fig. D). Push the filter tool firmly over the filter and rotate
the filter removal tool counter clockwise a
full 8 turns
until
loose and pull the filter out (Figs. D and E). Discard the dirty
filter and tool. The filter tool prevents unwanted removal of
the filter or a lost filter.
