MODEL 286-RD
NOTE
—No. 286-RD and No. 1-RD can be substituted for
discontinued No. 251.
This atomizer is designed for spraying solutions which
affect metal or which deteriorate in the presence of metal.
The straight flow spray tip with which it is equipped makes
this atomizer a suitable instrument for treating either the
nose or throat.
TO USE
—To secure best results, fill bottle not more than
two-thirds full. May be operated with either compressed air
or a hand bulb. If a hand bulb is used, grasp bulb firmly,
using the fingers against the palm of the hand rather than
two or three fingers against the thumb.
TO CLEAN
—Unscrew and remove spray tip. Run a fine wire
down inner tube as far as it will go.
TO STERILIZE
—Use
1
⁄
3
bleach to
2
⁄
3
water for not more than
10-15 minutes. Vanisol, Alconox, Cidex, and Blue Chip are
some of the many commercial sterilizing solutions on the
market. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions for
mixing and using these products. After cleaning, be sure to
rinse atomizer with warm or hot water and air dry before
adding medication.
Do not use heat
on plastic parts. The
Sterrad 100S System is also compatible.

MODEL 163
This all-purpose atomizer can be used with either oil or
aqueous solutions in the nose or throat and is constructed
for heat sterilization. The adjustable spray tip can be moved
up or down to reach otherwise inaccessible areas in the
throat – behind the soft palate or far down the throat. The
spray tube (163-TC) can be easily removed for sterilization.
TO USE
—To achieve best results, fill the bottle not more
than two-thirds full. Push the spray tube firmly into the
head of the atomizer so both black o-rings are seated in
the atomizer head. Atomizer may be operated with either
compressed air or hand bulb. If hand bulb is used, grasp
the bulb firmly using the fingers against the palm of the
hand, rather than two or three fingers against the thumb.
TO CLEAN
—Use a fine wire and follow directions given
with illustrations below.
Disassemble the atomizer by rotating
the cap in a counterclockwise direc-
tion. The spray tube assembly can be
removed from the cap by rotating in a
counterclockwise direction.
To replace atomizer tip, attach it to one of the tubes: 1)
make sure the GROOVE MARK is on the bottom and 2) turn
and remove key. The atomizer tubes will snap into position.
TO STERILIZE
—Pull the spray tube forward from the atom-
izer head. The spray tube is constructed for heat steriliza-
tion and there is no danger of impairing the atomizer by
boiling. The atomizer can be autoclaved (remove plastisol
bulb and black washer). Use
1
⁄
3
bleach to
2
⁄
3
water for not
more than 10-15 minutes. Vanisol, Alconox, Cidex, and
Blue Chip are some of the many commercial sterilizing
solutions on the market. Be sure to follow the manufactur-
er’s directions for mixing and using these products. After
cleaning, be sure to rinse atomizer with warm or hot water
and air dry before adding medication. The Sterrad 100S
System is also compatible.
