Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning of the compressor
Use a clean dry cloth and mild detergents to clean the outside of the unit.
ATTENTION: During cleaning, make sure the internal parts of the unit are not in
contact with liquids and the power cord is not connected.
Cleaning and disinfection of the accessories
After each treatment:
The nebulizer and nosepiece can be cleaned by washing in liquid soap and water and
then disinfected by boiling in water (max. 10 minutes) or in an autoclave (max. 121°C).
It is suggested that the mask and the angled mouthpiece be disinfected using cold
disinfecting liquids. Dry the nebulizer using a clean cloth. After drying, connect it to the air
outlet (Fig. A/4) and switch the compressor ON to verify that it is functioning after cleaning.
Do not boil or autoclave the air tube, the mask or the angled mouthpiece.
It is very important to carefully follow the cleaning and disinfecting instructions
for efficient and safe product performance.
Replacement of the nebulizer
The nebulizer should be replaced after a long period of inactivity, or if it is obstructed by
dry medication, dust, etc. With normal use, your nebulizer should last at least 6 months.
Use only original replacement nebulizers.
Replacement of the filter
The filter is to be replaced after approximately 30 hours of use, or when it appears dirty.
Open the filter holder (Fig. A/5) to replace the filter (Fig. A/15) with a new one. Use original
manufacturer-supplied filters only.
Do not use the device without the filter.
