G. DISINFECTING YOUR PARI
REUSABLE NEBULIZER
1. Clean the nebulizer as described in Section F. 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 10 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.

H. MAINTENANCE OF YOUR VIOS
®
PRO
FILTER
The Clear View™ Filter on the front of the Vios
®
PRO
Compressor was designed to be monitored without
removing it. This makes it easy to check without much
work. When the filter is new, it is bright white in color.
With use, the filter will 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.
For filter replacement, obtain the replacement filter set
part # 085F0012P2 which includes the filter and the filter
removal tool (Fig. F). Push the filter tool firmly over the
filter and rotate the filter removal tool counter clockwise
a full 8 turns until loose and pull the filter out (Figs. F
and G). Discard the dirty filter and tool. The filter tool
prevents unwanted removal of the filter or a lost filter.

face of the unit is facing the floor. Gently tap on the back
of the compressor to remove any unwanted materials
from the filter area. Place the compressor on a stable
surface and using clean hands, push a new filter into the
filter receptacle.
