Even when the instrument dishwasher is
equipped with a drying function, ensure
that no residual moisture remains in the
nebuliser handset. Remove residual mois-
ture by shaking the parts and allow them
to air dry completely.
Possible alternative: Chemical
disinfection
In general, disinfectants based on quater-
nary ammonium compounds are suitable
for disinfecting the nebuliser handset,
including the aerosol head.
When choosing the chemical, please
ensure that it is suitable for disinfecting
medical devices made from the specified
materials (see "Materials used", page 60).
Follow the instructions for use of the disin-
fectant, particularly the dosage informa-
tion and instructions for safe use.
The effectiveness of this method has been
tested with a 2% solution of Bomix plus
(Bode) for an application time of
5 minutes.

and power adapter
Cleaning
Clean the controller, the connection cord
and the power adapter as necessary with
a clean, lint-free, damp cloth.
Allow the controller, the connection cord
and the power adapter to dry completely.
NOTE:
Do not hold controller, the connection cord
or the power adapter under running water
and do not use liquid cleaning agents. If
liquid gets into these components, the
electronics may be damaged and the
device may no longer function properly. If
liquid does get into them, contact your
local service partner immediately.

Disinfection
Disinfect the controller, the connection
cord and the power adapter immediately
after cleaning. Use an alcohol-based,
standard commercial disinfectant wipe for
disinfecting. To ensure safe application,
follow the instructions for use of the disin-
fectant wipe. Effectiveness has been
tested using Bacillol Tissues and
Clinell Wipes.
Allow the controller, the connection cord
and the power adapter to dry completely.
Storage
Between applications, particularly for pro-
longed breaks in treatment, keep the
nebuliser handset in a dry, dust-free place
(e.g., nebuliser handset bag).
Pack the controller, the connection cord
and the power adapter in the case
provided for this purpose.
NOTE:
Leaking batteries may cause damage to
the controller. Therefore, remove the bat-
teries if the nebuliser system is not
expected to be used for a relatively long
period of time.
