CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Disinfection:
The nebulizer should be disinfected once daily, after the last use of the day, unless a different
disinfection regimen is specified by a healthcare professional. Disinfect the nebulizer as
follows:
1. Ensure that the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.
2. Disconnect the air tube, nebulizer and mouthpiece. Do not wash or submerge the tubing.
3. Disassemble the nebulizer by twisting the top and bottom and separating the pieces.
4. Rinse the nebulizer and mouthpiece or mask with hot water. Mix one part white vinegar
with three parts distilled water, in a quantity sufficient to fully immerse the nebulizer and
mouthpiece or mask.
5. Submerge the nebulizer and mouthpiece or mask in the water and vinegar mixture for
thirty minutes.
6. Rinse the nebulizer and mouthpiece or mask thoroughly with water.
7. Allow the nebulizer and mouthpiece to air dry completely, or dry them thoroughly with a
clean, soft towel. Do not store any parts wet as remaining moisture creates a risk of
bacterial growth.
NOTE: Condensation may collect in the air tubing. If this occurs, the moisture must be
completely removed, following these steps:
1. Disconnect the air tubing from the nebulizer, but keep it plugged into the air tubing
connector port on the unit.
2. Turn the power on and allow the compressor to run until all moisture has dried.
Nebulizers and tubing should be replaced as needed depending on the frequency of therapy
treatments or when damaged, cracked or holes appear in the tubing. To order replacement
parts, use the included order form, call Customer Care at 866-326-1313 or contact your local
dealer.
