Cleaning And Disinfection; Storage And Maintenance - Omron CX3 Instruction Manual

Cleaning and disinfection

It is recommended that the nebuliser, mask (optional accessory) and mouthpiece (not the air tube)
are thoroughly rinsed with hot tap water after each use and cleaned with a mild detergent after the
last treatment of the day.
Do not use any volatile fluids, like benzene or alcohol, etc.
The same pieces must also be disinfected daily by soaking them in a commercially available disinfectant
(strictly follow the instructions enclosed with the disinfectant).
If your doctor or respiratory therapist specifies a different cleaning procedure, follow their instructions.
For hygienic reasons, each person should use their own nebuliser kit. It is recommended to replace the nebu-
liser kit every 6 months (or earlier in case the nebuliser is obstructed) in order to maintain effective inha-
lation.
Rinsing after each treatment:
G
Remove the mouthpiece from the medication cap.
G

G
Unscrew the nebuliser cap from the medication tank and remove the vaporiser head.

G
Reassemble the nebuliser.
The exterior of both the air tube and compressor unit should be cleaned once daily with a clean, damp
piece of cloth. Do not use any volatile fluids. Never submerge the compressor unit in water!
If there is some moisture in the air tube, connect the air tube to the compressor unit and leave the other
end open. Then switch on the compressor unit and blow the tube dry.
