b) Using Breelib to take a dose on the plane
Once you have boarded the plane you should inform the cabin crew if you intend to use Breelib
during the flight. Have your documentation ready in case you are asked to provide any further
details.
You should agree with the cabin crew where you can use Breelib making sure it is in a place
where you will feel comfortable. This could be the toilet compartment or the cabin crew area.
Always use Breelib away from other passengers, especially pregnant women and children, just
in case any drug mist were to escape into the air around you. Should you get asked about why
you are using Breelib, you can show them the Breelib Medical device QRC (figure 5). Breelib
should only be used to take a dose when in-flight, when the overhead seat belt sign has been
turned OFF. Do not use Breelib when the plane is taking off or landing.
It is also important to use Breelib where you are able to rinse the nebuliser unit and mouthpiece
immediately after you have finished taking your dose. Always make sure you have enough
ZeroWater to rinse your nebuliser unit after finishing each dose. Normal tap or bottled water
can be used for the mouthpiece if necessary. If you run out of ZeroWater in-flight, filter bottled
water not tap water from the plane.
After emptying out leftover drug from the nebuliser unit and rinsing both parts, it will not
be possible to leave them out to air dry. To make sure the parts are dry in time for your
next dose:
1. Shake away excess water from both parts and wipe away any water from the plastic
surfaces, making sure not to touch the metal area on the nebuliser unit
2. With the cap open and drug-dosing system up, wrap the nebuliser unit in kitchen roll
and store in the carry case
3. Lightly tap the front end (figure 12a) and gently press the back end (figure 12b) of the
mouthpiece on fresh kitchen roll to remove excess water (figure 12)
4. Wrap the mouthpiece in fresh kitchen roll and store in the carry case

Safely handle and dispose of any broken glass from the empty ampoules used in-flight.
A compact travel sharps bin can be carried in your hand luggage but there is sometimes
a sharps bin available onboard. Speak with your cabin crew who can advise you further.
