5.1
Cleaning
Clean the parts after each use to remove residual medication. This will avoid
inefficient nebulization or infection.
■ Washable parts
• Nebulizer Kit (Inhalation top, Medication tank), Mask (PVC)/(SEBS),
Mouthpiece, Nosepiece, Air Tube (Silicone)
Wash them in warm water and mild detergent (neutral detergent). Rinse them
thoroughly with clean hot tap water and allow to air dry in a clean place.
■ Non-washable parts
• Compressor, Air Tube (PVC)
Firstly, make sure that the power plug is unplugged from the power outlet.
Wipe clean with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent (neutral
detergent).
• Air Filter
Do not wash or clean the air filter. If the air filter becomes wet, replace it.
Damp air filters can cause blockages.
