5. CLEANING
Rinsing (after each treatment)
Important:
The compressor motor has a thermal protector, which will shut off the
unit before the unit is overheated. When the thermal protector shuts
the unit off, please:
a. Switch off the unit.
b. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
c. Wait 40 minutes for the motor to cool down before another treatment.
d. Make sure the air openings are not obstructed.
Caution:
Before cleaning, make sure the power cord is disconnected from the main outlet
and the unit.
1. Disconnect the air tube, nebulizer cup, mouthpiece and mask.
2. Gently twist the nebulizer cup to open it.
3. Rinse the nebulizer cup, mouthpiece and mask with water.
4. Dry them with clean soft towel or let them air dry.
5. Reassemble the nebulizer cup when completely dry and put these parts in a
dry, sealed container.
It is recommended that the nebulizer, mouthpiece and the mask (or any other
patient accessory interface that is used) be thoroughly cleaned with hot water
after each use and cleaned with a mild detergent after the last treatment of
the day. If your physician or respiratory therapist specifies a different cleaning
procedure, follow their instructions.
10. When treatment is finished, shut off the unit and unplug it from the electrical
outlet.
