Changing The Filter; Cleaning And Disinfection - Prodeco AERO-N Instrucciones De Uso

6. Changing the filter

In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be re-
placed after approx. 100 operating hours or one year.
Please check the air filter regularly (after 10–12 nebulisa-
tion procedures). Replace the used filter if it is very dirty
or clogged. If the filter has become damp, it must also be
exchanged for a new filter.
Important
• Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse it.
• Only use the manufacturer's original filter, otherwise
your nebuliser may become damaged and sufficiently
effective treatment cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is in use.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
Important
• First switch the device off and disconnect it from the
mains.
• Allow the device to cool down.
1. Pull off the filter cap [5] to-
wards the front.
Note
If the filter remains in the device after the cap has been
removed, take the filter out of the device, e.g. with twee-
zers or similar.
2. Re-insert the filter cap [5] with a new filter.
3. Ensure that it is securely in place.

7. Cleaning and disinfection

Atomiser and accessories
Warning
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid
health risks.
• The atomiser [9] and accessories are designed for mul-
tiple use. Please note that different areas of application
involve different requirements in terms of cleaning and
hygienic preparation.
Notes:
• Do not clean the atomiser or the accessories mechani-
cally using a brush or similar device, as this could cause
irreparable damage and it will mean that the best treat-
ment results can no longer be guaranteed.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional require-
ments in terms of the hygienic preparation required
(hand care, handling of medication/inhalation solutions)
for high-risk groups (e.g. patients with cystic fibrosis).
• Ensure thorough drying after each cleaning or disin-
fection process. Residual moisture or wetness can
represent an increased risk of bacterial growth.
Preparation
• Immediately after each treatment, all parts of the atom-
iser [9] and the accessories used must be cleaned of
residual medication and contamination.
• Remove the mouth piece [12], the mask [13, 14] or the
nosepiece [15] from the atomiser.
5
• Dismantle the atomiser by twisting the
top anticlockwise against the medica-
tion container [10].
• Remove the atomiser insert [11] from
the medication container [10].
• Reassembly is carried out in reverse
order.
Cleaning
Important
The device must be switched off, disconnected from
the mains and allowed to cool down each time before
cleaning.
The atomiser and the accessories used such as the
mouthpiece, mask, etc. must be washed with hot but not
boiling water after each use. Dry the parts carefully using
a soft cloth. Put the parts together again when they are
completely dry and place them in a dry, sealed container
or disinfect them.
