REPLACEMENT OF THE NEBULIZER
The nebulizer must be replaced after a long period of inactivity, or when it is obstructed by dry
medication, dust, etc.
Your nebulizer should last from 6 months to 1 year with general use.
Use original nebulizers only.
REPLACEMENT OF THE FILTER
The MicroDrop CalimeroJet/MasterVent Porex filter must be replaced approximately after 500
hours of use or each year; control the filter periodically (10-12 aerosol treatments ); when it turns
grey or brown or wet, replace it; open the filter holder (pic. A/5) and replace the filter with a new
one. Don’t try to clean the filter and to reuse.
Use original filters only.
Do not use the unit without filter.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND HOW TO SOLVE THEM
If the device does not switch on:
1.
make sure the plug is firmly fitted to the wall socket;
2.
the thermal protector might have been released. The thermal protector may be released for
the following reasons:
- the device has been in operation for a too long time;
- the device was used near heaters or in hot environments;
- the air vent openings (pic. A/7) are obstructed and do not allow for the motor ventilation.
In this case, set the ON/OFF switch to “O” and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
If the device does not nebulize, or only very weakly, check the following
points:
1.
make sure that the ends of the air tube are fitted tightly onto the main unit and onto the
nebulizer;
2.
check whether the nebulizer is empty from medication or full of an excessive medication
quantity ( MAX 7 ml);
3.
check whether the nebulizer nozzle is obstructed;
4.
check whether the air conduction cone is inserted (pic. E).

9. Use the CalimeroJet/MasterVent nebulizer with inhalation valve only with mouthpiece
having exhalation valve. When using the masks, it is not necessary to keep inhalation valve:
remove it and connect the masks directly onto the nebulizer (pic. I).
10. Plug the device to the wall socket, making sure that the electrical rating shown on the rating
plate on the bottom of the unit corresponds to your main voltage.
11. To start the treatment, switch the device on by pressing the switch (pic. A/2) in the front of
the device onto the “I” position.
12. Inhale the aerosol solution using the prescribed accessory.
13. When the treatment has been completed, switch the unit off by setting the switch position
“O” and disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
14. Wash the nebulizer and accessories as described in the “CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
OF THE ACCESSORIES” section.
15. Put the nebulizer, accessories and power cord inside the carrying case (pic. A/14).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING OF THE MAIN UNIT
Use a clean dry cloth and mild detergents for cleaning the unit.
ATTENTION: during cleaning operations, make sure liquids do not get
inside the device.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE ACCESSORIES
After each treatment:
The nebulizer CalimeroJet/MasterVent, the mouthpiece must be sterilized by boiling in water (for
max. 10 minutes) or in autoclave (max 121°C, see autoclave instructions for duration). We sug-
gest you disinfect the masks using cold disinfecting liquids (solutions with hypochlorite). Dry the
nebulizer using a clean cloth; after connect it to the air outlet (pic. A/4), switch the device on and
let it work freely for 5-10 minutes.
Do not boil nor autoclave the air tube and the masks.
Following carefully the cleaning and disinfecting instructions is very
important for the product performance and for a successful therapy.
