Maintenance - Lumiscope 6700 Manual De Usuario

3. The aerosol flow rate can be regulated by adjusting the flow rate controller as shown
at right. The recommended practice, especially for children, is to set to the "Minimum"
position in order to promote the deposit of the nebulized aerosol directly in the
airways.
4. When the mist generated is no longer constant, the medication in the medication cup
has begun to run out. When this happens, tap the nebulizer cover gently several times
to collect dispersed liquid inside the nebulizer chamber. Then continue the therapy
until there is no aerosol at all.
Info: The unit will shut off automatically when the medication cup is nearly empty. At the end of
inhalation therapy, a small amount of the medication (about 0.4 ml) will remain in the medication
cup; this is normal. This portion of the medication, called the "residual volume", cannot be
nebulized.
5. Disconnect the plug from the device's power socket.
Automatic Valve System
The device's mouthpiece has a two-valve system to ensure maximum efficiency of the
inhalation and to minimize medication waste. In practice, the mouthpiece expiration valve
will open during expiration, allowing the patient's exhaled air to pass to atmosphere,
avoiding contamination of the device. During inspiration, the valve will close, maximizing
the inhalation amount.
