Performing The Inhalation - Pari LC SPRINT XLent Instructions For Use Manual

3.3 Performing the inhalation

Before the patient starts inhaling, ensure that all parts are
firmly connected to each other.
Perform inhalation until the medication is used up (indicated by
a change in the sound of the nebuliser).
The nebuliser produces relatively large droplets, and these
can be deposited on the nebuliser wall. In order to minimise
loss of medication, tap the nebuliser lightly with your finger
a few times towards the end of the inhalation session. The
droplets will run back down into the nozzle attachment,
where they can be nebulised again.
It is normal for a few drops of medication to be left in the
nebuliser after the end of the inhalation session.
When using a PARI compressor:
• Connect the connection tubing to the compressor and
switch the compressor on.
When using with a PARI CENTRAL:
Prerequisite: A PARI CENTRAL must be connected to the wall
outlet fitting in the hospital.
• Insert the connection tubing into the PARI CENTRAL using
the adapter provided for this purpose. Twist slightly to make
the connection easier.
WARNING
Check carefully to ensure that the other end of the PARI
connection tubing that is connected to the compressor or
the PARI CENTRAL is attached to the PARI nebuliser.
When several tubing systems are present, there is a pos-
sible threat to life if different connection options are con-
fused with each other. This applies particularly in the case
of patients in need of constant care who must receive ar-
tificial nutrition or other infusion treatments.
