Disinfecting the nebuliser and accessories

Warning
Adhere to the following hygiene instruc-
tions to avoid possible damage to
health.
• The nebuliser and accessories are
intended for multiple use. Please note
that cleaning requirements differ ac-
cording to the different application ar-
eas:
Notes:
• The nebuliser and any accessories
used must be cleaned and disinfected
after each use.
• For additional requirements regarding
the necessary hygienic preparations
(hand washing, handling of medicines
or inhalation solutions) in high-risk
groups (e.g. cystic fibrosis patients),
contact your doctor.
• Ensure that all parts are properly
dried following all cleaning and disin-
fection. Residual moisture or water
droplets can result in an increased
risk of bacterial growth.
• As with all plastic components, fre-
quent use and cleaning of the acces-
sories can lead to a certain amount of
wear. Over time, this can alter the ae-
rosol properties and may eventually
affect the efficiency of therapy. The
nebuliser and accessories should the-
refore be replaced at least once a
year.

Preparation

• Directly following each treatment, all
parts of the nebuliser and any acces-
sories used must be cleaned of medi-
cine residues and contamination.
• To do this, dismantle the nebuliser
into its component parts.
• Remove the mouthpiece [10] from
the nebuliser.
• Remove the medicine container
[14] from the upper part of the
nebuliser.
• Remove the nozzle attachment
[13] from the medicine container
[14].
•
Open the sealing cap on the nebu-
liser.
• The nebuliser is later reassembled in
the reverse order.
