– Clean, disinfect and sterilise the nebuliser and the ac-
cessories used.
– Clean and disinfect the connection tubing mechanically,
or replace it. For this procedure, follow the instructions in
the leaflet "Mechanical cleaning with disinfection of PARI
connection tubes" (Doc. no. 041D0503), available on the
internet at www.pari.de.
PARI nebulisers must be processed for re-use with the applica-
tion of suitable, validated methods in such manner that the suc-
cess of these methods can be monitored reliably and the safety
and health of patients is not threatened.
CAUTION
Ensure that the components are allowed to dry sufficiently
after each processing step. Condensation or residual wet-
ness can present an increased
risk of bacterial growth
.
The following text describes the methods validated by PARI,
with which plastic PARI parts can be processed effectively.
When processing for re-use, follow the instructions in the leaf-
let "Hygienic re-use in the professional environ-
ment" (Doc. no. 041D0498), available on the internet at
www.pari.de.
5.2 Processing limits
The nebuliser can be sterilised up to 300 times and used for up
to one year.
Do not expose the nebuliser or accessories used to a temper-
ature above 137 °C.
The connection tubing can be processed for re-use about 50
times.
