Safety Precautions
To ensure safe and correct use of this product, please read the instruction manual carefully before using.
Warning
Please follow a doctor’s instructions on choosing the correct type, dose, and regimen of medicine.
Do not place any liquid in the medication chamber that is not prescribed by a physician.
This is a single patient device. Do not allow multiple patients to use the same device.
If you are using the nebulizer for the first time after purchasing it or you have not used
it for a long time, please clean the nebulizer parts. (Please see page 13-14)
After each use, please clean the medication chamber, mask adapter, and mouthpiece with distilled water. Dry the cleaned parts immediately and store in a clean place. (Please see page 13-14)
The inhalation mask and connecting tube must be cleaned with distilled water and dried prior to first use. These parts are only for single use. Please do not reuse them.
Do not plug or unplug the AC adapter with wet hands.
Caution
If device does not shut off automatically when medication is depleted and gives off a
high frequency sound, press the “START/STOP” button to turn the power off
immediately to avoid the mesh breaking. Please go to page 18 for troubleshooting.

How to operate the nebulizer
You can also fill a 0.9 % Sodium Chloride (Table salt) solution in the medication chamber and then press “START/STOP” button for a function test after reassembly and before use. If the nebulizer can not spay out, please go to page 18 for troubleshooting.
1. Turn on the power:
Press the “START/STOP” button, and
the power indicator (green) will light constantly.
• If there is no medication inside the
medication chamber and the power is
turned on, the nebulizer’s power
indicator (green) will blink for 1 second and shut off automatically.
• Water is not applicable for use. If you fill
the water in the medication chamber,
the nebulizer’s can be not turned on.
• It is normal for the nebulizer spraying 1
second then having 0.5 second pause after turning power on. However, it will spray continuously after that 0.5 second pause.
• Press and hold on the “START/STOP” button to change into the “cleaning
mode”, and the device manually
nebulizes. Do not use the “cleaning
mode” for the medication inhalation.
2. Inhalation
Hold the nebulizer in your hand stably and start inhalation.
Attention
Press
Nebulisers.net.au
12
If the device detects no medication in medication chamber, it will shut off automatically.
• If the device does not shut off automatically when medication depleted and give off a high frequency sound, press the “START/STOP” button to turn the power off immediately to avoid the mesh breaking. Please go to page 18 for troubleshooting.
• During the treatment, you may adjust the nebulizer to any angle. However,
make sure the medication stays in contact with the mesh; otherwise, the nebulizer will shut off automatically after approximately 10 seconds.
When the medication is about to be depleted, it is recommended that you tilt the nebulizer (the buttons side) slightly toward you. This allows the remaining medication to contact the mesh to nebulization.
Do not shake the nebulizer strongly in the usage. Otherwise, the nebulizer may shut off automatically.
Provide close supervision when the nebulizer is used by children.
Attention
Attention!
Do not cover the vent when you inhale. Otherwise, that will decrease the nebulization rate.

3. Turn off the power
The nebulizer shuts off automatically after the medication is depleted.
If you wish to halt the treatment, press the “START/STOP” button to turn the
power off. The power indicator light will go out.
If the AC adapter is being used, please unplug from the wall outlet after turning off the power.
The unit will give off a high frequency sound and turn off the power automatically when the medication is depleted.

Attention
How to clean after using
Attention
After each use, make sure to clean the nebulizer instantly with the distilled water before storing or carrying.
1. Clean the remaining medication
Open the cover of the medication chamber and discard the remaining medication.
Pour a small amount of distilled water into the medication chamber and close the cover.
Press and hold on the START/STOP” button of the device
(the power indicator (blue) lighted up)
to change into “cleaning mode” to
manually nebulize the distilled water for 1 to 2 minutes to remove the residual medication in the medication chamber until the distilled water depleted.
If the device give off the high frequency sound and the distilled water is depleted, please release the START/STOP button to turn the power off. Otherwise, the mesh of the medication chamber may be broken.
Please clean the remaining medication after each use. Otherwise, the mesh of the medication chamber may become blocked.
2. Dismantle the nebulizer:
Remove the medication chamber, mask adapter, connecting tube, and inhalation mask or mouthpiece from the nebulizer.
The inhalation mask and connecting tube in first use must be cleaned with distilled water and dried. These parts are only for single use. Please do not reuse them.
3. Clean the parts with sufficient amounts of distilled water:
Clean the medication chamber, mask adapter, mouthpiece, inhalation mask and connecting tube with distilled water.

4. Dry the cleaned parts thoroughly:
After the parts are cleaned, dry with new gauze and air dry thoroughly.
Please do not dry with cotton or cloths of other materials; otherwise, dust or cloth fiber may be left on the mesh, causing the nebulizer to malfunction.
Please do not allow q-tips or foreign objects in contact with the mesh of the medication chamber.
5. Wipe off the main unit with new gauze:
Dab a piece of gauze with water and lightly wipe off the stains from the main unit. Then, use new gauze to dry.
Please clean the electrodes on the main unit and medication chamber. This ensures a normal electrical conduction and hence a normal nebulization.
Please do not clean the nebulizer with a volatile liquid such as benzene or thinner.
6. Attach the medication chamber and put on the main unit cover. Store all parts in a clean place.

How to replace the medication chamber
Attention
Attention
The medication chamber is a maintenance part and does not carry any warranty. Under normal conditions, the lifetime of the medication chamber is approximately 6 months (three times usage per day or 30 minutes per day). However, the nebulization performance may start deteriorating in less than 6 months depending on the way you use it or the use of certain types of medication. If the nebulizer can not nebulize or the nebulization rate decreases significantly after clean, you must replace the medication chamber with a new one. (If you want to purchase a medication chamber, please contact the retailer from which you purchased the product or any nearby retailers.)
1. Remove the medication chamber from the nebulizer:
Press the PUSH button on the rear side of the main unit, and push the medication chamber toward the front side of the main unit.
2. Re-attach the medication chamber to the nebulizer
Attach the medication chamber correctly as shown in the figure.
To avoid damaging the nebulizer, please ensure the PUSH button is pressed down before pushing the medication chamber forward.
To avoid rupturing the mesh, please do not poke it with your finger or other foreign object.
Please ensure that the medication chamber is attached correctly; otherwise, it may result in a bad connection and cause the nebulizer to not function properly.
Please keep the electrodes of the main unit and medication chamber clean; otherwise, the nebulizer may not function properly.
Please clean the medication chamber before using.

The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the device as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
