Cleaning and daily disinfecting
Cleaning
Clean the parts after each use to remove residual medication. This will avoid inefficient nebulization or infection.
■Washable parts
•Nebulizer Kit, Mask (PVC)/(SEBS), Mouthpiece, Nosepiece, Air Tube (Silicone)
Wash them in warm water and mild detergent (neutral detergent). Rinse them thoroughly with clean hot tap water and allow to air dry in a clean place.
■
• Compressor, Air Tube (PVC)
Firstly, make sure that the power plug is unplugged from the power outlet. Wipe clean with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent (neutral detergent).
• Air Filter
Do not wash or clean the air filter. If the air filter becomes wet, replace it. Damp air filters can cause blockages.
Disinfecting
Always disinfect the parts after the last treatment of the day. If the parts are heavily stained, replace them with new ones.
To select a method for disinfection, refer to the table below.

Removing condensation from the air tube
If there is moisture or liquid remaining in the air tube, be sure to follow the procedure below to remove any moisture from within the air tube.
1)Make sure that the air tube is connected to the air connector on the compressor.
2)Remove the air tube from the nebulizer kit.
3)Turn on the compressor and pump air through the air tube to expel the moisture.
Changing the air filter
If the air filter has been used for more than 60 days, replace it with a new one.
1. Pull the air filter cover off the compressor.
2.Change the air filter.
Remove the old air filter with a sharp object and insert the new air filter.
