Cleaning and disinfecting
Caution: Handling the Vaporizer Head
• Always wash the vaporizer head after each use.
• Do not use a brush or pin to clean the vaporizer head.
• When disinfecting the parts by boiling, be sure to boil them in plenty of water.
• Do not boil vaporizer head together with objects other than applicable nebulizer
accessories.
Cleaning
Clean the parts after each use to remove residual medication. This will avoid inefficient
nebulization or infection.
■
Washable parts
• Nebulizer Kit (Inhalation top, Medication tank), Mask (PVC)/(SEBS), Mouthpiece,
Nosepiece
Wash them in warm water and mild detergent (neutral detergent). Rinse them
thoroughly with clean hot tap water and allow to air dry in a clean place.
• Vaporizer Head
Wash it with running water.

Non-washable parts
• Compressor, Air Tube
Firstly, make sure that the power plug is unplugged from the power outlet. Wipe clean
with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent (neutral detergent).
• Air Filter
Do not wash or clean the air filter. If the air filter becomes wet, replace it. Damp air
filters can cause blockages.
Disinfecting
Disinfect the parts once a week. If the parts are heavily stained, replace them with new
ones.
