F. DISINFECTING YOUR PARI
REUSABLE NEBULIZER
1. Clean the nebulizer as described in Section E. For
low-level disinfection every other treatment day, soak
all parts of the PARI Reusable Nebulizer (except
tubing and mask) in a solution of 1 part distilled
white vinegar and 3 parts hot tap water for 1 hour.
You can substitute respiratory equipment disinfectant
(like Control III
®
) for distilled white vinegar (follow
manufacturer’s instructions for mixing).
2. Rinse all parts of the PARI Reusable Nebulizer
thoroughly with warm tap water and dry with a clean,
lint-free cloth. Discard the vinegar solution when
disinfection is complete.
3. The PARI Reusable Nebulizer parts (except tubing
and mask) may also be disinfected by boiling them in a
clean pot of water for a full 5 minutes.
4. Hospitals and clinics can sterilize the PARI Reusable
Nebulizer parts (except mask and tubing) by
autoclaving (a maximum of 277° F or 136° C), follow
autoclave manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Dry parts on a clean, lint-free cloth.

G. MAINTENANCE OF YOUR
TREK
®
S
NEBULIZER SYSTEM
FILTER
Your Trek
®
S air filter is bright white when new. With
use, the filter will slowly turn grey, indicating the need for
replacement. The filter must be replaced immediately if it
gets wet or becomes clogged. A good rule to follow is to
replace your filter every 6 months – at the same time as
your PARI reusable nebulizer.

Removing: First make sure the Trek
®
S power switch is
turned off. Using a coin, remove the air filter cover by
turning it counter-clockwise. Pull the cap and filter out,
then remove the filter from the cap (Fig. I-J). Take a new
filter and press into cap with the open end visible (Fig.
J-K).
NOTE:
There are two types of filters that fit the Trek
®
S
compressor. If your filter is open only on one end as shown in
Figure J, follow instructions as shown in Figure J and K. If your
filter is open on both ends, press either end of the filter into the
cap.
Place the cap and filter back into the front of your Trek
®
S.
Use the coin to tighten by turning the cover clockwise.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to wash and reuse Air Filters. Do not
use substitute filter material; compressor damage may result.
COMPRESSOR & RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the
compressor housing. Be careful not to get liquids onto the
Power Receptacle or the battery contact since damage
could occur.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Never operate your PARI Trek
®
S if it is improperly or
incompletely assembled or damaged. Use only original
PARI parts and attachments authorized by PARI for the
PARI Trek
®
S Portable Aerosol System. Use of other parts
and attachments may damage the unit or cause improper
treatment. Do not open or disassemble the compressor
unit at any time.
NOTE:
There are no serviceable parts inside the PARI Trek
®
S
Portable Aerosol System. Service by anyone voids warranty.
