methods described below.
method A: Accessories 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-10-11-13.1-13.2-13.3-13.4 can be disinfected.
The disinfectant must be an electrolytic chloroxidizer (active principle: sodium hypochlo-
rite) specific for disinfecting, which is available in any pharmacy.
Implementation:
- Fill a container big enough to hold all of the parts to disinfect with a solution of potable
water and disinfectant, according to the proportions indicated on the packaging of the
disinfectant.
- Completely immerse each part in the solution, taking care to avoid the formation of air
USE OF NEBULIZATION MANUAL CONTROL
To achieve continuous nebulisation action you should not use the manual nebulisation
control (10), especially in the case of children or persons with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities. The manual nebulisation control is useful for limiting dispersion of
the medication in the surrounding environment.
To start nebulizing close with a
finger the hole of the nebulizer
manual control (10) and
breathe in gently; we recom-
mend to hold your breath for a
moment so that the inhaled
aerosol droplets can be depos-
ited,
meanwhile, to disable nebuliz-
ing, remove your finger from the
hole of the nebulizer manual
control to avoid the waste of
drug, optimizing its acquisition.
Then exhale slowly.
