QUESTION 1: How long should my ARIKAYCE treatment
take?
Answer:
With normal operation and proper cleaning, your
Handset should deliver 1 vial of ARIKAYCE in about 14
minutes but could take up to 20 minutes. Your Lamira
should automatically shut off shortly after your treatment is
complete or after 20 minutes. If the Lamira turns off after
20 minutes, check the Medication Reservoir. If it is empty,
you have received your full dose
.
QUESTION 2: How much ARIKAYCE should be left in
the Medication Reservoir at the end of my
treatment?
Answer:
Only a drop of ARIKAYCE should remain in the
Medication Reservoir. If more than a drop remains, start
the Controller and complete your dose. Then clean the
Aerosol Head (Section F). If after proper cleaning, more
than a drop remains in the Medication Reservoir, contact
the Arikares Support Program at 1-833-ARIKARE (1-833-
274-5273).
QUESTION 3: When I turn on my Nebulizer, nothing
happens. There does not seem to be any power.
Answer:
If you are using batteries, use the figures in each
Battery Compartment to check that the batteries are
inserted correctly. If the batteries are positioned properly,
check to see if the light is blinking on the Controller
signaling low battery power. If it is, replace the batteries or
use the A/C Power Supply.
Answer:
If you are using the A/C Power Supply, check
the connection to be sure it is firmly connected to the
Power Supply Port located underneath the Battery
Compartment.
Be sure that the A/C Power Supply is plugged into a
working wall outlet.
QUESTION 4: Sometimes I have trouble removing the
Medication Cap at the end of my therapy session.
Answer:
A vacuum has formed in the Medication
Reservoir. Remove the Connection Cord, open the
Handset and carefully remove the Aerosol Head. The
Medication Cap will then be easier to remove.
QUESTION 5: What if no mist is coming out of your
Handset?
Answer
:
First, check that the Controller has power.
Secondly, make sure the Connection Cord is correctly
attached. Thirdly, check to be sure that your Handset
has been assembled properly (Section H). Lastly, check
to be sure that the ARIKAYCE is in the Medication
Reservoir. If the Controller or your Handset still do not
function properly, contact the Arikares Support Program
at 1-833-ARIKARE (1-833-274-5273).
QUESTION 6: What if liquid is leaking from my Handset
during my treatment?
Answer
:
To prevent leaks, be sure (1) the Blue Valve is
properly attached to the Aerosol Chamber, (2) the Aerosol
Head is inserted correctly, (3) the Medication Cap is
screwed on fully, and (4) the Medication Reservoir and
Aerosol Chamber are closed properly and snapped
together.
Answer
:
It is normal to have some liquid collect in the
Aerosol Chamber. Try to hold the Handset so that liquid
does not pour out of the Mouthpiece.
QUESTION 7: What if my Controller shuts off before my
treatment begins, or does not restart?
Answer
:
Low voltage. Replace the batteries or use
the AC adapter. Press the On/Off button to continue
your treatment.
Answer
:
Your Handset was tilted above 45°. Hold
your Handset level and press the On/Off button to
continue your treatment.
Answer
:
ARIKAYCE is cold. Allow the ARIKAYCE to
warm to room temperature and then press the On/Off
button to continue your treatment.
QUESTION 8: What if my Controller does not shut off at
the end of my treatment?
Answer
:
Your Controller may take up to 60 seconds to
shut off after you complete your dose. If you wish to stop
your Controller earlier, press the On/Off button.
Answer
:
Disconnect the A/C Power Supply from the
Controller and remove the batteries. Then, reinsert the
Batteries following the procedure in Section D.
Answer
:
If this situation continues 3 or 4 times, contact
the Arikares Support Program at 1-833-ARIKARE (1-
833-274-5273).

of total use.
