E. CLEANING YOUR PARI REUSABLE
NEBULIZER
1.
Disconnect the tubing from the air intake on the
bottom of the nebulizer cup.
2.
If there is any moisture (condensation) in the tubing,
let the compressor run with only the tubing attached
for 2-3 minutes. The warm air from the compressor
will dry out the tubing. Alternatively, you can dry
the tubing by removing it from the compressor and
hanging it up with the "ends down" to allow any
moisture (condensation) to drain out and evaporate.
Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the exterior of
the tubing.
3.
Disassemble reusable nebulizer parts as illustrated
on page 3.
4.
Wash all parts including the Bubbles II pediatric mask
with warm water and liquid dish soap. DO NOT
WASH THE TUBING.
5.
Rinse the reusable nebulizer parts and Bubbles II
pediatric mask thoroughly with warm water and
shake out water.
6.
Air dry or hand dry nebulizer parts on a clean, lint-
free cloth. Reassemble nebulizer when parts are dry
and store.
7.
You can also wash all parts of the reusable nebulizer
on the top shelf of a dishwasher. DO NOT PLACE
BUBBLES II MASK IN DISHWASHER. DO NOT
WASH TUBING. Place the reusable nebulizer parts
in a dishwasher basket, then place the basket on the
top rack of the dishwasher. Remove and dry the parts
when the dishwasher cycle is complete.

Rinse all parts of the PARI Reusable Nebulizer
thoroughly with warm tap water and dry with a clean,
lint-free cloth. Discard the vinegar solution when
disinfection is complete.

and mask) may also be disinfected by boiling them in a
clean pot of water for a full 5 minutes.
