Removing condensation from the air tube
If there is moisture remaining in the air tube, be sure to follow the procedure
below.
• Make sure that the air tube is connected to the air connector on the compressor.
• Remove the air tube from the nebulizer kit or the nasal aspirator.
• Turn on the compressor and pump air through the air tube to expel the moisture.
Changing the air filter
If the air filter has changed colour, or has been used for more than 70
applications, replace it with a new one. (see Other
Optional / Replacement Parts).
1.
Remove the air filter cover as shown in figure.
2.
Remove the old air filter with a sharp object,
such as a toothpick, and insert the new air filter.
3.
Put the air filter cover back in place.
Notes:
• Use only OMRON air filters designed for this device. Do not operate without a filter.
• Do not attempt to wash or clean the filter. If the air filter becomes wet, replace it.
Damp air filters can cause blockages and may increase risk of infection.
• There is no front or back orientation for the air filters.
• Check that air filters are clean and free of dust before inserting them.
1.
Make sure that the power switch is in the off (
) position.
2.
Assemble the nasal aspirator. Make sure that the O-ring is properly
attached. Refer to the drawing “Nasal Aspirator”.
3.
Plug the power plug into a power outlet.
4.
Connect the air tube to the nasal aspirator and
to the main unit, while twisting the air tube plugs
slightly, push them firmly.
5.
Keep your baby in a comfortable position and
make sure that their head is lifted as shown on
the figure to the right.
6.
Turn the power switch to the on ( ) position.
Place your index finger over the opening on the
nasal aspirator, as shown on the figure to the right
to begin aspiration.
Caution:
Before using the nasal aspirator, try it on the hand to
see if it sucks. When functioning properly, there must be
a slight suction from the nozzle. If air is exiting from the
nozzle, do not continue using the aspirator.
While using, the aspirator needs be in the upright position, with the finger opening
on top (see figure by above). This prevents the sucked mucus from entering parts
other than the collection chamber.
7.
Place the nozzle at the entrance of one of the nostrils of the baby. (do not
insert inside the nostril). Use the aspirator for 3 seconds for 4 times per
nostril.
8.
When treatment is completed, turn the power off and unplug the
compressor from the power outlet.
9.
Disconnect the aspirator from the air tube and disassemble it into 3 parts as
shown in “Know your unit”; clean or disinfect according to the section below.
Cleaning and daily disinfecting
Cleaning
Clean the parts after each use to remove residual medication or mucus.
This will prevent inefficient nebulization or aspiration and reduce the risk of
infection. Do not use a brush or pin to clean.
• Washable parts:
Nebulizer kit, Baby Mask (PVC), Nasal Aspirator, Mouthpiece
Wash them in warm water and mild, neutral detergent. Rinse them
thoroughly with clean hot tap water, gently tap to remove excess water
and allow to air dry in a clean place. It is advisable to replace the DuoBaby
nebulizer kit or nasal aspirator after some 100 to 120 treatments or after
about 20 boiling cycles.
• Non-washable parts:
Compressor, Air Tube (PVC)
Firstly, make sure that the power plug is unplugged from the power outlet.
Wipe clean with a soft cloth, moistened with water or mild, neutral detergent.
Air Filter
Do not wash or clean the air filter. Refer to “Changing the air filter” section.
Disinfecting
Always disinfect the parts after the last treatment of the day. If the parts
are heavily stained, replace them with new ones. To select a method for
disinfection, refer to the table below.

Notes:
• Use a commercially available disinfectant. Follow the instructions provided by the
disinfectant manufacturer.
• Never clean with benzene, thinner or a flammable chemical.
• After having washed the Nebulizer Kit and/or Nasal Aspirator with the available
disinfectant, please rinse with clean warm water and dry thoroughly before using.
• Applicable parts may be boiled between 15 to 20 minutes.
• After boiling, carefully remove the parts, shake off excess water and allow to air
dry in a clean environment.
Troubleshooting for: main unit, nebulizer kit and nasal
aspirator
Check the following if the device should fail before or during operation.
Problem
Cause
Remedy
Nothing happens
when the power
switch is turned.
Is the power plug plugged into
a power outlet?
Check that the plug is inserted in
a power outlet. Unplug then
reinsert the plug if necessary.

aspiration or low
nebulization, when
the power is on.
Is there sufficient medication
in the medication tank?
(only nebulizer kit)
Add the correct amount of
medication to the medication tank.

How to use Nasal Aspirator
Dry and very thick mucus inside the nose may be dissolved by saline
solutions. After adding saline solution into each nostril of the baby’s nose
to help loosen nasal secretions, wait a few minutes and then remove the
mucus running out with a tissue. Only after removing the running mucus
outside the nostrils the nasal aspirator may be used.
