CLEANING AND DISINFECTION AT HOME
The nebuliser and the accessories used must be cleaned
thoroughly after each application and disinfected at least once
a day.
The connection tubing cannot be cleaned or disinfected.
4.1 Preparation
• Detach the tubing from the nebuliser.
• Make sure that all medication residues are removed from
the nebuliser.
• Dismantle the nebuliser into its individual parts.
• Carefully pull the blue expirat
ory valve out of the slot in the
mouthpiece. The valve must
still be attached to the mouth
piece.
• Rinse all components of the nebuliser under running tap wa
ter. This must be done especially thoroughly if cleaning and
disinfection are not carried out straight away.
4.2 Care of the connection tubing
• Connect the connection tubing to the compressor.
• Switch the compressor on.
• Leave the compressor running until any condensation in the
tubing has been removed by the air flowing into the tube.
