CLEANING THE NEBULISER
It is important that the nebuliser handset is cleaned immediately after each treatment to ensure proper performance, since
viscous medications such as antibiotics may clog the nebuliser more easily than other medications. If you are unable to clean
the nebuliser after every treatment, you must rinse the nebuliser to remove the medication residue. Then resume cleaning
as soon as it is convenient.

Wash your hands as instructed on page 8.
Please note that the aerosol head
(i.e. the metal part) requires careful hand-
ling. The central metal parts should not be
touched and the aerosol head should only
be handled by the plastic collar.
Completely disassemble the nebuliser parts.
Discard the filter pad safely after every
treatment.
Remove the medication cap by twisting. Empty
any remaining medication residue.
Rinse all parts of the nebuliser under a strong stream
of warm water.
WASHING: Mix a solution of warm water and
washing-up liquid in a clean container. Wash
all parts of the nebuliser in this solution. Rinse
all parts thoroughly after washing and place
between two clean towels or cloth to dry whilst
keeping dust-free. Do not use kitchen towel. All
parts must be completely dry before re-assembly.
