Maintenance, Care And Service; Replacement Of The Nebuliser; Replacement Of The Air Filter - Microlife NEB 400 Manual

Disinfection
 After cleaning, disinfect all of the disassem-
bled parts (only parts that have been
cleaned can be disinfected effectively).
 Boil the disassembled nebuliser, the
mouthpiece and the nosepiece for 5
minutes in boiling tap water.
Immerse the mask in a 2% sodium hypochlo-
rite (NaOCl) solution for 15 minutes, (i.e. a
solution made from the disinfecting agent
Amuchina® or a 2% sodium hypochlorite
solution mixed by your pharmacist). After-
wards immerse the mask with sterile water for
3 min, and then rinse all the surface of the
mask with other clean sterile water twice, to
fully remove any possible residue of the disin-
fectant solution.
Drying
 Reassemble the nebuliser components
and connect it to the air-outlet, switch the
device on and let it work for 10 –15
minutes.
 Let all parts dry completely before reas-
sembling and reuse to avoid risk of germ
grow.
Care needs to be taken not to contaminate the
parts after they have been cleaned and disin-
fected. Contamination can be avoided by
good hand washing and not touching the
inside sections of the device when laying them
out to dry or when reassembling.
Inspection
Inspect all product components after each
cleaning and disinfection. Replace any
broken, misshapen or seriously discolored
parts.

container when not in use. Do NOT pack wet
or damp parts.

Order all spare parts from your dealer or pharmacist, or contact
Microlife-Service (see foreword).

Replacement of the nebuliser

Replace the nebuliser 5 after a long period of inactivity, in cases
where it shows deformities, breakage, or when the vaporiser head
5-a is obstructed by dry medicine, dust, etc. We recommend to
replace the nebuliser after a period between 6 months and 1 year
depending on the usage.
Only use original nebulisers!

Replacement of the air filter

In normal conditions of use, the air filter AM must be replaced
approximately after 200 working hours or after each year. We
recommend to periodically check the air filter (10 – 12 treatments)
and if the filter shows a grey or brown colour or is wet, replace it.
Extract the filter and replace it with a new one.

Do not try to clean the filter for reusing it.

The air filter shall not be serviced or maintained
while in use with a patient.
Only use original filters! Do not use the device without filter!
