Do not use paper or paper towels on the Lexan panel, as these materials are
abrasive and may damage the surface.
5.5 AERONEB NEBULIZER
The domed aperture plate within the nebulizer pump unit is extremely sensitive and should be
treated with extreme care. Do not apply undue pressure to this mesh plate or use a syringe with
a needle to add the liquid.
The instructions that follow are taken directly from Aerogen’s Aeroneb nebulizer information
sheet. Steps 1 through 4 may suffice for everyday use, but continue through step 7 should you
wish to sterilize your nebulizer between subjects, between experiments or following long
periods during which the nebulizer was not used.
5.5.1 NEBULIZER UNIT (INCLUDING FILLER CAP)
1)
Disconnect the control module and cable from the nebulizer unit.
2)
Remove the filler cap from the nebulizer unit.
3)
Clean parts with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
Do not use abrasive or sharp tools to clean the nebulizer unit.
4) Check for cracks or damage, and replace the unit if any defects are visible.
5)
Place the disassembled components into appropriate sterilization wrapping.
The Aeroneb can be autoclaved (details provided by manufacturer Aerogen), however
this may shorten its lifespan. Do not reassemble parts prior to autoclaving.
6)
To sterilize, autoclave wrapped parts using steam sterilization pre-vacuum cycle, 132 -135°C
(270 - 275°F) for 3 - 4 minutes with drying cycle. Refer to the autoclave manufacturer’s
instructions if necessary. Please contact SCIREQ Technical Support for additional
information.
