contamination, thoroughly clean and dry all parts of tubing and accessories and  

thoroughly dry any moisture or condensation in the tubing at the end of every  

treatment, following the instructions below.

accessories must also be regularly sterilized and disinfected between treatments 

to prevent serious or fatal illness caused by contamination.

4.  Never use tubing with a clogged nozzle. lf the nozzle is clogged, the aerosol 

mist will be reduced, altered or stopped, which will diminish or eliminate the 

effectiveness of the treatment. If clogging occurs, replace with the same model.

and physically or mentally impaired persons. Never use when sleeping or drowsy.

6.  This product contains small parts that may present a choking hazard to small 

children. The tubing also presents a strangulation hazard.
