Removing condensation from the air tube
If there is moisture or liquid remaining in the air tube, be sure to follow the
procedure below to remove any moisture from within the air tube.
1) Make sure that the air tube is connected to the air connector on the
compressor.
2) Remove the air tube from the nebulizer kit.
3) Turn on the compressor and pump air through the air tube to expel the
moisture.
Changing the air filter
If the air filter has changed colour, or has been used on average for more
than 60 days, replace it with a new one.
1.
Pull the air filter cover off the compressor.
2.
Change the air filter.
Remove the old air filter with a sharp object,
such as a toothpick, and insert the new air
filter.
3.
Put the air filter cover back in place.
Notes:
Use only OMRON air filters designed for this device. Do not operate without a filter.
Do not attempt to wash or clean the filter. If the air filter becomes wet, replace it. Damp
air filters can cause blockages.
There is no front or back orientation for the air filters.
Check that air filters are clean and free of dust before inserting them.
To prevent the air filter cover from becoming blocked, wash the cover regularly. Do not
boil the air filter cover. Remove the air filter cover, wash it, and make sure it is dry and
reattached correctly.

Cleaning and daily disinfecting
Cleaning
Cleaning the parts after each use will prevent any remaining medication in
the tank from drying, resulting in the device not nebulizing effectively and
also for preventing infections.
Firstly, make sure that the power switch is in the off (
) position, and
unplug the power plug from the power outlet.
■
Nebulizer Kit, Masks (PVC), Mouthpiece, Nosepiece
Wash them in warm water and mild detergent. Rinse them thoroughly with
clean hot tap water and allow to air dry in a clean place.
Note
: Nebulizer kit should be replaced after using for 6 months.
■
Compressor, Air Tube
Wipe clean with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent.
Disinfecting
Always disinfect the parts after the last treatment of the day. If the parts are
heavily stained, replace them with new ones.
Use one of the methods described below:
A
. Use a commercially available disinfectant. Follow the instructions
provided by the disinfectant manufacturer.
1) Submerge the parts in the disinfectant for the specified period.
2) Rinse them with clean hot tap water and allow to air dry in a clean place.
Note
: Never clean with benzene, thinner or a flammable chemical.
B.
Parts may be boiled between 15 to 20 minutes.
After boiling, carefully remove the parts, shake off excess water and
allow to air dry in a clean environment.
Note
: Do not boil Air tube, Masks (PVC), Air filter and Air filter cover.
Caution: Handling the Vaporiser Head
Always wash the vaporiser head after each use.
Do not use a brush or pin to clean the vaporiser head.
When disinfecting the parts by boiling, be sure to boil them in plenty of water.
Do not boil vaporiser head together with objects other than applicable nebulizer
accessories.
Do not use a microwave oven, dish dryer or hair dryer to dry parts.
Use the table below as a guideline to select a method for disinfecting.
