Atomisation is very rapid and the session only lasts a few minutes.
As stated under Important Notes, some liquids are not compatible with the materials of which the nebuliser, mask and the Rinowash are
made. They may interact and cause damage (the materials are shown in section 7 - DISPOSING OF THE DEVICE AND ITS COMPONENTS).
3 - CLEANING, DISINFECTION AND STERILISATION
Before proceeding, unplug the device and disconnect the nebuliser, Rinowash and tube.
If it is necessary to clean, disinfect or sterilise this medical device using a method other that given in this section, contact the
manufacturer first.
3.1 - CLEANING, DISINFECTING AND STERILISING THE BASIC UNIT
3.1.1 - CLEANING THE BASIC UNIT
The basic unit (1) must not be cleaned in water as it could get inside and damage the electrical components, which would cause a safety hazard.
Clean the basic unit (1) with a soft damp cloth, with a small amount of mild (non-abrasive) detergent, if necessary.
3.1.2 - DISINFECTING THE BASIC UNIT
The basic unit can be disinfected using a soft sponge or cloth and some cold disinfectant solution (e.g. a solution containing up to 2%
sodium hypochlorite). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Make sure the solution is compatible with the material of which the basic unit is made. Refer to section 7 - DISPOSING OF THE
APPARATUS AND ITS COMPONENTS.
3.1.3 - STERILISING THE BASIC UNIT
The basic unit (1) must not be sterilized.
3.2 - CLEANING, DISINFECTING AND STERILISING THE NEBULA SPACER KIT
To prevent the risk of microbial contamination, the nebuliser and mask must be cleaned and disinfected, and if necessary sterilised, after
each treatment and before use, following the instructions carefully.
Before, cleaning, disinfecting or sterilising any of the components, disassemble them as follows:
- Remove the tube (15).
- Remove the mask (12, 13) from the nebuliser.
- Detach the fitting (13) from the mask (12).
- Unscrew the upper section (9).
- Remove the l’atomizzatore (10).
3.2.1 - CLEANING THE PERFECTA KIT
The disassembled nebuliser (9, 10 and 11) and the disassembled spacer mask (12 and 13) can be washed in water at an approximate
temperature of 40°C with the addition of detergent (refer to the manufacturer’s instructions), then rinsed in running water.
When all the parts have been cleaned, dry them with a soft cloth and place in the storage compartment.
3.2.2 - DISINFECTING THE PERFECTA KIT
After washing, all the components of the nebuliser (9, 10 and 11) and the spacer mask (12, 13) can be immersed in a cold disinfectant
solution (e.g. a solution containing up to 2% sodium hypochlorite). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The components of the nebuliser and spacer mask can be disinfected by boiling in a saucepan of water for a maximum of 10 minutes. Make
sure the components are not in direct contact with the bottom of the saucepan.
Boiling may alter the colour or appearance of the components, but this will not affect operation of the device.
3.2.3 - STERILISING THE PERFECTA KIT
The components of the nebuliser (9, 10, 11) and the spacer mask (12, 13) can be sterilised in an autoclave at 121°C for at least 15 minutes
(but no more than 30 minutes), for up to 20 times.
Sterilisation is recommended before each session when the device is used in a hospital environment or by more than one patient.
3.3 - CLEANING, DISINFECTING AND STERILISING THE MOUTHPIECE
To prevent the risk of microbial contamination, the mouthpiece (14) must be cleaned and disinfected, and if necessary sterilised, after
each treatment and before use, following the instructions carefully.
3.3.1 - CLEANING THE MOUTHPIECE
The mouthpiece can be washed in water at an approximate temperature of 40°C with the addition of detergent (refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions), then rinsed in running water.
When it has been cleaned, dry it with a soft cloth and place in the storage compartment.
