The nebulizer and mouthpiece should be thoroughly cleaned after each use and disinfected
each day if on a regular therapy program unless a different cleaning regimen is specified by
your healthcare professional; additional hygienic precautions may be required for use with
high-risk patients.
The masks, mouthpieces, tubing and nebulizer are not dishwasher safe. The below instructions
are for manual cleaning and disinfecting of your nebulizer and mask pieces.
Cleaning:
1. Ensure that the power cord is
disconnected from the power outlet.
2. Disconnect the air tube, nebulizer and
mouthpiece. Do not wash or submerge
the air tubing.
3. Disassemble the nebulizer by twisting
the top and bottom and separating the
pieces, Fig 1-2.
4. The nebulizer and mouthpiece or mask
should be washed in warm water,
using a mild detergent. Do not wash or
submerge the air tubing; if necessary,
wipe the outside of the tubing with a damp cloth taking care not to get water inside the
tubing.
5. Allow the nebulizer and mouthpiece to air dry completely, or dry them thoroughly with
a clean, soft towel. Do not store any parts wet as remaining moisture creates a risk of
bacterial growth.
6. Occasionally wipe the body of the unit with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Only
clean the body of the unit when it is unplugged and completely cool.
Never use soap pads or powder cleanser to clean any part of the unit. Never use any cleaning
products that may be harmful when swallowed or inhaled.
