Residual Volume
Note that about 1mL of medication cannot be nebulised and remains unused in the
medication reservior; this residue must be discarded. This in intentional and
does
not
represent a malfunction. The device switches off as soon as the membrane of
the aerosol head is no longer coated with medication.
eFlow® rapid easycare® cleaner
Measure the time taken to nebulise precisely 2.5 ml isotonic saline
solution 0.9%
without inhaling
:
1.
If nebulising takes longer than 4 minutes, the aerosol head
should be cleaned with the Easycare cleaning tool
2.
If nebulising takes longer than 5 minutes the aerosol head should be replaced
As a guide aerosol heads are efficient for 300-400 administrations therefore replace
approximately:
o
every YEAR if nebulising once per day
o
every SIX months if nebulising twice per day (ask for
a PARI 6-month timer)
o
every THREE months if nebulising four times per day
It is important to remember the easycare® head cleaner will not lengthen the life of
the aerosol head and therefore should not be used any more than twice a week.
