Intended Patient Group; Lifetime Of The Medical Device - Pari eflow rapid Instructions For Use Manual

Intended patient group

®
The eFlow rapid nebuliser system is
suitable for use by all age groups. Inhala-
tion with the mouthpiece is the most effec-
tive form of inhalation, since it results in
minimum medication losses on the way to
the lung. For babies and toddlers who
cannot use the mouthpiece to inhale,
PARI offers appropriate masks as
accessories.
The nebuliser system is only suitable for
use by patients who can breathe
unassisted and are conscious.
The nebuliser handsets are not suitable
for use by patients who are receiving
mechanical ventilation or have undergone
a tracheotomy.
Lifetime of the medical
device
The nebuliser handset with aerosol head
is designed for multiple uses. For optimal
inhalation therapy with exact dosing and
short inhalation time and to ensure the
best possible hygiene conditions,
nebuliser handsets and aerosol heads
must be replaced regularly.
The lifetime of the nebuliser handset
depends on the daily number and duration
of the inhalation cycles performed, the
composition and variety of the nebuliser
solutions used, and the cleaning/hygiene
processes applied.

Over time, medication residues and
microparticles introduced from the
environment can partially block the fine
pores in the aerosol head and prolong the
nebulisation times. When the cleaning
instructions and followed regularly and the
easycare cleaning aid is used, the aerosol
head has a possible lifetime of between
three and six months. If the nebuliser
handset is used frequently (two or more
different nebuliser solutions several times
a day), the recommended useful life of the
aerosol head may be shortened to a
period of one to three months due to
significantly longer nebulisation times.
It is recommended that the plastic parts
(nebuliser handset without aerosol head)
be replaced after 12 months at the latest.
