Preparation and usage of this device

  • Prior to using the device for the first time, we recommend cleaning it as described in the section «Cleaning and disinfecting»
  1. Assemble the nebuliser kit AP. Ensure that all parts are complete.
  2. Fill the nebuliser with the inhalation solution as per your doctor’s instructions. Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum level.
  3. Connect one end of the air hose 8 to the dedicated outlet at the bottom of the nebuliser AP and the other end to the air outlet 6 on the device.
  4. Start the nebulisation by pressing the ON/OFF button 2; the power indicator 3 will light up orange.
  5. Place the mouthpiece 9 in the mouth or fit one of the face masks over mouth and nose.
    • The mouthpiece gives you a better drug delivery to the lungs.
    • Choose between adult AK or child face mask AL and make sure that it encloses the mouth and nose area completely.
    • Use all accessories including the nose piece AT as prescribed by your doctor.
  6. During inhalation, sit upright and relaxed at a table and not in an armchair, in order to avoid compressing your respiratory airways and impairing the treatment effectiveness. Do not lie down while inhaling. Stop inhalation if you feel unwell.
  7. After completing the inhalation period recommended by your doctor, press the ON/OFF button 2 to turn off the device.
  8. Empty the remaining medication from the nebuliser and clean the device as described in the section «Cleaning and disin-fecting»
  • This device was designed for intermittent use of 30 min. On / 30 min. Off. Switch off the device after 30 min. use and wait for another 30 min. before you resume treat-ment.
  • The device requires no calibration.
  • No modification to the device is permitted.

Cleaning and disinfecting

  • Thoroughly clean all components to remove medication residuals and possible impurities after each treatment.
  • Use a soft and dry cloth with non-abrasive cleaners to clean the compressor.
  • Make sure that the internal parts of the device are not in contact with liquids and that the power plug is disconnected.

Cleaning and disinfecting of the accessories

  • Follow carefully the cleaning and disinfecting instructions of the accessories as they are very important to the performance of the device and the success of the therapy.

Before and after each treatment

Disassemble the nebulizer 7 by turning the top counterclockwise and removing the medicine conduction cone. Wash the components of the disassembled nebulizer, the mouthpiece 9 and the nosepiece AT by using tap water; dip in boiling water for 5 minutes. Reassemble the nebulizer components and connect them to the air tube connector, switch the device on, and let it work for 10-15 minutes.

  • Wash masks and air tubes with warm water.
  • Only use cold disinfecting liquids following the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Do not boil nor autoclave the air tube and masks.

Maintenance, Care, and Service

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

Replacement of the nebuliser

  • Replace the nebuliser 7 after a long period of inactivity, in cases where it shows deformities, breakage, or when the vaporiser head 7-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 a filter!

The nebulizer functions poorly or not at all

  • Ensure that air tube 8 is correctly connected at both ends.
  • Ensure the air tube is not squashed, bent, dirty, or blocked. If necessary, replace it with a new one.
  • Ensure the nebulizer 7 is fully assembled and the vaporizer head 7-a is placed correctly and not obstructed.
  • Ensure the required medication has been added.
  • Ensure the air filter AM is mounted properly (the device is noisy).
