ERAPID NEBULIZER HANDSET ASSEMBLY
WARNING
The eRapid Nebulizer Handset is not sterile.
Clean and
Disinfect the eRapid Nebulizer Handset before the
first use.
(see Section H for Cleaning and Section J for
Disinfecting). Inspect all parts to ensure they are clean and
are not visibly damaged. Do not use dirty or damaged parts.
1. The Medication Reservoir and the Aerosol Chamber are
attached using a “hinge”. First, gently pull up on the tab of the
Medication Reservoir (Figure 5a). This will release the Aerosol
Chamber so that you may open it (Figure 5b). Ensure that the
Inhalation Valve is placed correctly in the Aerosol Chamber. If
not, re-insert as shown (Figure 6a-6b).
2. Ensure that the Aerosol Head is inscribed “eRapid” (Figure 7,
enlargement). Do not use other eFlow
®
Technology Aerosol
Heads in this device. Additionally, do not use the eRapid
Aerosol Head in other eFlow Technology Handsets (e.g. Altera,
TRIO, Investigational eFlow). Being careful to touch ONLY the
plastic outer ring of the Aerosol Head (Figure 7), press the
two flexible plastic tabs on the side of the Aerosol Head while
firmly inserting it into the Medication Reservoir (Figures 7a-
7b). You should feel the plastic tabs “grab” as you insert it. It is
important that you do not touch the metal part of the Aerosol
Head (Figure 8).
3. Close the eRapid Nebulizer Handset by pushing the Aerosol
Chamber together with the Medication Reservoir until you
hear a slight “snap” (Figure 9). If you do not hear a slight
snap, open the eRapid Nebulizer Handset and ensure that the
Inhalation Valve is seated properly (Figure 6b).
4. Attach Mouthpiece to Nebulizer Handset with Exhalation Valve
facing up (Figure 10).
5. Align the hinge part of the eRapid Nebulizer Connection Cord
with the rear underside of the eRapid Nebulizer Handset
(Figure 11a), then snap it into place (Figure 11b).
6. Place the Controller on a clean, flat, stable surface.
7. Connect the Nebulizer Connection Cord round end to the front
of the Controller (Figure 12).
