Cleaning Procedures
Please consult with your physician or therapist prior to cleaning re-
garding the use of commercial disinfectants and appropriate cleaning
methods.
Cleaning Technique
(Performed after each treatment):
1) Make sure that the POWER switch has
been turned to the “off” position and
the unit has been disconnected from
the power source.
2) Disconnect the air tube from the base of
the Nebulizer.
3) Gently twist and pull up on the cover of
the Nebulizer to open and separate.
4) Wash all parts of the Nebulizer, the mouthpiece, and other op-
tional components in warm water with a mild detergent.
5) Rinse the Nebulizer and components with hot tap water.
6) Allow all parts to completely air dry on a clean paper towel.
Note:
The air tube does not have to be washed as only filtered air
passes through it. Keep the outer surface of the air tube dust-free
by wiping regularly.
Disinfecting Technique
(Performed after the last treatment of the day or before first time use):
1) Follow steps 1-3 under “Cleaning Technique”.
2) Submerge the Nebulizer parts in a clean container or bowl that con-
tains a vinegar/distilled water solution of one part white vinegar to
three parts distilled water. Let the parts soak for 30 minutes.
3) Follow steps 5-6 under “Cleaning Technique”. Do not towel dry
Nebulizer parts or reuse disinfecting solution as this could cause
contamination.
Note:
For the Nebulizer only, clean in the dishwasher using the top
shelf. Do not place any Nebulizer parts in the dishwasher. Doing so
may cause damage.
