Cleaning Procedures
Please consult with your physician or
therapist prior to cleaning regarding the
use of commercial disinfectants and
appropriate cleaning methods.
Rinsing Technique
(Performed after each treatment):
1) Make sure that the POWER switch has
been turned to the ‘off’ position and the
unit has been disconnected from the
power source.
2) Disconnect the air tube from the base of
the Nebulizer.
3) Gently twist and pull up on the
cover of the Nebulizer to open
and separate,
Fig. 1 .
4) Rinse the Nebulizer and
components with hot tap
water.
5) Dry with clean towels or allow
to completely air dry.
6) Reassemble the Nebulizer
and store the parts in a cool,
dry place.
Cleaning Technique
(Performed after the last treatment of the
day or before first time use):
1) Follow steps 1-4 under ‘Rinsing
Technique.’
2) Wash all Nebulizer parts, mouthpiece and
other optional components in warm water
and a mild detergent. Rinse in hot tap
water.
NOTE: For first time cleaning or after the
unit has been stored for an extended period
of time, thoroughly clean all components,
including the air tube. The Nebulizer is
dishwasher safe.
3) Prepare a vinegar/distilled water solution
of one part white vinegar to three parts
distilled water.
4) Submerge the rinsed parts in the vine-
gar/distilled water solution for 30
minutes.
5) Follow steps 4-6 under ‘Rinsing
Technique’.
Cleaning the Compressor
Wipe the compressor daily using a soft,
slightly water-moistened cloth.
NOTE: Any other form of cleaning or
cleaning agents may damage the finish on
the unit.
Changing the Air Filter
It is important to change the air filter
approximately every 30 days or when the air
filter turns gray.
1) Remove the air filter
cover by gently pulling
forward,
Fig. 2 .
2) Discard the gray air
filter.
3) Replace with a new,
clean air filter.
4) Securely reattach the
air filter cover to the
unit.
NOTE: Air filters cannot be cleaned or
washed. Only MiniComp air filters can be
used. Do not substitute alternate material
such as cotton. Do not operate without an
air filter.
Assembling Your Nebulizer
Follow the cleaning instructions in this
guidebook under ‘Cleaning Technique’ prior
to using your nebulizer for the first time or
after it has been stored for an extended
period of time.
REMEMBER: Always unplug the
Compressor and make sure the POWER
switch is turned to the ‘off’ position before
cleaning, assembling and before or after
each use.
1) Place the Compressor
on a flat, stable
surface within reach,
Fig. 3 .
2) Gently twist and pull
straight up on the lid of
the Nebulizer to
separate into two parts
(medicine cup and
cover).
