4. Cleaning and disinfecting

4.1

Cleaning

Clean the parts after each use to remove residual medication. This will avoid inefficient
nebulization or infection.
■ Washable parts
• Nebulizer Kit (Inhalation top, Medication tank), Kids accessory, Mask, Mouthpiece,
Nosepiece, Air Tube (Silicone)
Wash them in warm water and mild detergent (neutral detergent). Rinse them thoroughly
with clean hot tap water and allow to air dry in a clean place.
■ Non-washable parts
• Compressor, Air Tube (PVC)
Firstly, make sure that the power plug is unplugged from the power outlet.
Wipe clean with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent (neutral detergent).
• Air Filter
Do not wash or clean the air filter. If the air filter becomes wet, replace it.
Damp air filters can cause blockages.

Disinfecting

Always disinfect the parts after the last treatment of the day. If the parts are heavily stained,
replace them with new ones.
To select a method for disinfection, refer to the table on page 17.
Caution:
Do not use an autoclave, EOG gas sterilizer or low temperature plasma sterilizer.
Note: The printing may come off the surfaces of kids accessories as a result of repeated washing and
disinfecting.
