Treatment Of Babies, Children And Anyone Who Requires Assistance; Hygiene - Pari MHL T Instructions For Use Manual

1.4 Treatment of babies, children and anyone
who requires assistance
Babies, children and anyone who requires assistance must be
supervised constantly by an adult during inhalation therapy.
This is the only way to ensure safe and effective treatment. In­
dividuals in this group often underestimate the hazards in­
volved (e.g. strangulation with the power cord or the connec­
tion tubing), thus resulting in a risk of injury.
The product contains small parts. Small parts can block the
respiratory tract and lead to a choking hazard. Therefore, make
sure that you always keep the compressor, the nebuliser and
the accessories out of the reach of babies and infants.
Special baby masks may be obtained for treating babies and
infants who are not yet able to inhale using the mouthpiece.
The nebulisers are only designed for patients who are able to
breathe by themselves and are conscious. This is the only way
to ensure effective treatment and avoid a choking hazard.

1.5 Hygiene

Only use nebulisers and accessories that have been cleaned,
disinfected and dried as described in chapter 4 for inhalation
therapy. Contamination and residual moisture encourage the
growth of bacteria, so increasing the risk of infection.
Therefore, please observe the following hygiene instructions:
– Each nebuliser must only be used at home by a single pa­
tient for hygiene reasons.
– Before every use and cleaning, wash your hands thor­
oughly.
– Clean, disinfect and dry your nebuliser and accessories.
Make absolutely sure you also carry out cleaning and drying
before using the device for the first time.
– For cleaning and disinfection, always use fresh tap water of
drinking water quality.
