Cleaning
Briefly rinse all parts in running tap water for at
least 10 seconds beforehand.
Mix little dish detergent and warm tap water (i.e.
FAIRY brand dish washing liquid for hand
washing in a ratio of 2 ml : 1 L) in a clean
container.
Immerse the components of disassembled
nebulser, the mask, the mouthpiece and the
nosepiece into the mixed water for about 5 min.
And then scrub all the surface of all the compo-
nents with clean and small brush for at least 8
times.
Afterwards rinse all parts thoroughly in running
tap water at least 30 seconds, to fully remove
any possible dish washing liquid residue.
Disinfection
After cleaning, disinfect all of the disassem-
bled parts (only parts that have been
cleaned can be disinfected effectively).
Boil the disassembled nebuliser, the mouth-
piece and the nosepiece for 5 minutes in
boiling tap water.
Immerse the mask in a 2% sodium hypochlorite
(NaOCl) solution for 15 minutes, (i.e. a solution
made from the disinfecting agent Amuchina® or
a 2% sodium hypochlorite solution mixed by
your pharmacist). Afterwards immerse the
mask with sterile water for 3 min, and then rinse
all the surface of the mask with other clean
sterile water twice, to fully remove any possible
residue of the disinfectant solution.
Drying
Reassemble the nebuliser components and
connect it to the air-outlet, switch the device
on and let it work for 10 –15 minutes.
Let all parts dry completely before reassem-
bling and reuse to avoid risk of germ grow.
Care needs to be taken not to contaminate the
parts after they have been cleaned and disin-
fected. Contamination can be avoided by good
hand washing and not touching the inside
sections of the device when laying them out to
dry or when reassembling.

Inspection
Inspect all product components after each
cleaning and disinfection. Replace any broken,
misshapen or seriously discolored parts.
Packaging
Pack dry parts in a clean and sealed container
when not in use. Do NOT pack wet or damp
parts.
Storage
Storage conditions refer to «Technical specifi-
cations».
Note: re-clean and re-disinfect the parts if they
are stored more than one day.
Transporta-
After cleaning and disinfection, always trans-
tion
port the parts with clean and sealed container.
Contamination can be avoided by good hand
washing and not touching the inside sections of
the parts when taking out and re-assembling
the parts for use.
The instructions provided above have been validated by the manu-
facturer of the medical device as being capable of preparing a
medical device for reuse. It remains the responsibility of the
processor to ensure that the processing, as actually performed
using equipment, materials and personnel in the processing
facility, achieves the desired result. This requires verification and/
or validation and routine monitoring of the process.
4. Maintenance, care and service
Order all spare parts from your dealer or pharmacist, or contact
Microlife-Service (see foreword).
Replacement of the nebuliser
Replace the nebuliser 5 after a long period of inactivity, in cases
where it shows deformities, breakage, or when the vaporiser head
5-a is obstructed by dry medicine, dust, etc. We recommend to
replace the nebuliser after a period between 6 months and 1 year
depending on the usage.
Only use original nebulisers!
Replacement of the air filter
In normal conditions of use, the air filter AM must be replaced
approximately after 200 working hours or after each year. We
recommend to periodically check the air filter (10 – 12 treatments)
and if the filter shows a grey or brown colour or is wet, replace it.
Extract the filter and replace it with a new one.
