Thank you for purchasing the OMRON COMP AIR.
This product was developed in conjunction with respiratory therapists
for the successful treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergies
and other respiratory disorders.
This is a medical device. Operate the device only as instructed by
your doctor and/or respiratory therapist.
How the nebulizer kit works
The medication that is pumped up
through the medication channel is
mixed with compressed air which is
generated by a compressor pump.
The compressed air mixed with
medication is turned into fine particles
and sprayed when in contact with the
baffle.

General Safety Precautions:
Inspect the device and parts before using them each time, and check that there are
no problems. In particular, be sure to check the following:
-That the nozzle or air tube are not damaged.
-That the nozzle is not blocked.
-That the compressor operates normally.
When using this device, there will be some noise and vibration caused by the pump in
the compressor. There will also be some noise caused by the emission of compressed
air from the nebulizer kit. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Operate the device only as intended. Do not use the device for any other purpose.
Do not use the device at temperatures greater than +40°C.
Make sure that the air tube is securely attached to the compressor and nebulizer kit,
and does not come loose. Twist the air tube plug slightly when inserting it into the air
tube connectors to avoid the air tube disconnecting during use.
To completely isolate the device from the power source unplug the plug from the
power source.
Keep these instructions for future reference.
Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile (cellular)
telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference
from other devices. Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the
medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with
the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2:2007 standard has
been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic
interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical
devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms to this
EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate strong
electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may result in
incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify correct operation of
the device in case the distance is shorter.
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at OMRON
HEALTHCARE EUROPE at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.
