Cleaning Instructions - Monaghan Aerobika Instrucciones De Uso

6. Continue taking deep breaths and long exhalations for 10–20 breaths, or as instructed by your healthcare
professional. After at least 10 breaths, perform 2–3 'huff coughs' to clear your airways. Your healthcare professional
will instruct you on the proper technique. For maximum efficacy, try to suppress coughing until the end of your
treatment.
7. Repeat steps 3–6 for 10–20 minutes or as prescribed by your healthcare professional. The entire procedure should
be performed at least twice a day on a regular basis, and increased to 3–4 times per day if you are producing a lot
of mucus.
8. The goal is to keep your lungs clear and ventilatory capacity up. Continue to use your treatments on a regular basis
even if you are bringing up just a little mucus.
CAUTION: If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, or have any other discomfort during treatment, discontinue
therapy and contact your physician or healthcare provider.
HOW TO USE YOUR AEROBIKA
NEBULIZER
The Aerobika ® Oscillating PEP device may also be used with a small volume nebulizer with a 22 mm adapter. Your
healthcare professional will advise which medication to use for combined treatments.
Medications which open your airways (eg. albuterol) or help to thin
mucus (eg. hypertonic saline) would be good choices to use with your
Aerobika ®
Oscillating PEP because they would help remove or thin the
mucus in your lungs. Medications you want to stay in your lungs, like
antibiotics, should be taken after you have completed your treatment.
1. Ensure you have read and understood the instructions provided
with your nebulizer prior to starting your treatment.
2. Ensure your nebulizer is set-up correctly and medication has been
added to the nebulizer cup. Remove the mouthpiece (or mask) from
the nebulizer.
3. Attach the nebulizer to the Nebulizer Port of the Aerobika
Oscillating PEP, as shown in Figure 3.
4. Switch on the compressed air source, and complete your combined
treatment using the breathing technique outlined above.
NOTE:
• No adapter is required if used with the AeroEclipse
• Always ensure the Aerobika
(See Figure 3)
• If used in combination with a nebulizer, the device should be cleaned before next use to remove any residue that may
have deposited on exhalation.
