CLEANING AND DISINFECTION AT HOME
The nebuliser and the accessories used must be cleaned
thoroughly after each application and disinfected at least once
a day.
The connection tubing cannot be cleaned or disinfected.
4.1 Preparation
• Detach the tubing from the nebuliser.
• Make sure that all medication residues are removed from
the nebuliser.
• Dismantle the nebuliser into its individual parts.
• Carefully pull the blue expirat-
ory valve out of the slot in the
mouthpiece. The valve must
still be attached to the mouth-
piece.
• Rinse all components of the nebuliser under running tap wa-
ter. This must be done especially thoroughly if cleaning and
disinfection are not carried out straight away.
4.2 Care of the connection tubing
• Connect the connection tubing to the compressor.
• Switch the compressor on.
• Leave the compressor running until any condensation in the
tubing has been removed by the air flowing into the tube.
