Instructions for Use
1.
Insert mouthpiece into side opening of the nebulizer with the
exhalation valve facing down. Inspect the tubing for fray, wear
or loose particulate, and ensure nothing is blocking the air
supply pathway of the nebulizer.
2.
Prior to use, inhale and exhale through the nebulizer
mouthpiece to verify the movement of the green feedback
button located on top of the device.
3.
Unscrew and remove top of nebulizer. Place prescribed
medication into nebulizer cup (maximum cup volume 6 ml).
Reattach top and gently hand tighten.
4. If using a flowmeter:
Set the flowmeter to 7–8 liters per
minute (lpm). Attach one end of the supplied tubing to the
fitting in the bottom of the nebulizer and the other end to the
flowmeter. Ensure both ends are securely engaged.
If using a compressor:
Ensure the compressor is capable of
delivering a minimum of 15 to 50 P.S.I. and a flow of 2.75 to 8
lpm. Attach one end of the supplied tubing to the fitting in the
bottom of the nebulizer and the other end to the compressor.
Ensure both ends are securely engaged. Turn on compressor.
5.
Place mouthpiece in mouth, and inhale slowly and deeply. As
you inhale, the green button on top of the nebulizer will move
into the fully down position, indicating that the
AeroEclipse
®
II BAN is producing aerosol in response to inhalation. Exhale
normally. A valve on the mouthpiece opens allowing passive
exhalation, as the green button returns to the up position
indicating no aerosol is being produced. Do not place the lips
over the exhalation valve on the bottom of the mouthpiece.
Doing so will prevent the valve from functioning properly.
6.
Continue to inhale from the nebulizer until nebulizer begins
to sputter, or as instructed by your physician or qualified
healthcare worker.
If you are unable to trigger the device (hold the green button
down during inhalation), it can be manually operated by
depressing/releasing the feedback button in coordination with
inspiration/expiration.
The
AeroEclipse
® II BAN can be operated in continuous
mode by rotating the mode switch 90 degrees clockwise to
the continuous mode position. The nebulizer can be returned
to the breath actuated mode by rotating the mode switch 90
degrees counterclockwise to the breath actuated position. In the
continuous mode, the nebulizer may be fitted to any standard
aerosol mask with the
AeroEclipse
® II 22 mm elbow adapter.
For use with the disposable
AeroEclipse
® II masks or reusable
ComfortSeal
® masks, insert the built-in adapter into side
opening of the nebulizer.
Cleaning Instructions
The mode switch should be rotated to the breath actuated
position (green button is up, mode switch has rotated
counterclockwise). Remove the supply tubing from the bottom
of the nebulizer and unscrew and remove the nebulizer top.
Between treatments with the same patient, the nebulizer may
be processed according to any of the methods listed below.
A. Sterile Water:
Thoroughly rinse the disassembled parts in
sterile water and shake to remove excess water.
B. Isopropyl Alcohol:
Wipe the outside surfaces with a tissue
dipped in 70% Isopropyl Alcohol then submerge all parts in a
soak of 70% isopropyl alcohol for 1 minute before shaking to
remove any excess alcohol.
C. Air Dry:
Disassemble the device and shake out any excess
drug.
D. Hand Washing:
Wash nebulizer parts in a warm water/liquid
dish detergent solution and rinse in clean warm water.
For all methods, reconnect the bottom of the nebulizer to the
compressed air supply to clear the orifice. Always allow the
parts to air dry thoroughly before reassembling.
NOTE:
Always follow accepted procedures for cleaning
between uses with the same patient.
Single Patient Use
The device should be replaced after approximately 7 days
or immediately if components are cracked or the nebulizer
does not function properly. This device is not intended to be
reprocessed and should not be autoclaved or boiled.
