Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON Comp Air Elite.
This product was developed in conjunction with respiratory therapists for the
successful treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergies and other respiratory
disorders. The compressor forces air to the nebuliser. When the air enters the
nebuliser, it converts the prescribed medication into an aerosol of microscopic
droplets that can easily be inhaled.
The Comp Air Elite is a medical device. Operate this device only as instructed by
your doctor and/or respiratory therapist.

serious injury.
(Usage)
• For type, dose, and regime of medication follow the instructions of your doctor or
respiratory therapist.
• Do not use only water in the nebuliser, for nebulising purposes.
• Clean and disinfect the nebuliser kit, mouthpiece and optional nosepiece or
masks before using them for the first time after purchase, if the device has not
been used for a long period of time, or if more than one person uses the same
device.
• Be sure to wash the parts after use, and ensure that they are thoroughly
disinfected and dried, and stored in a clean location.
• Keep the device out of the reach of unsupervised infants and children. The
device may contain small pieces that can be swallowed.
• Store the device and accessories in a clean location.
• Do not store the air tube while there is moisture or medication remaining inside it.
• Always rinse the nebulising parts with clean hot tap water after disinfecting them.
Never leave the cleaning solution in the medication tank or mouthpiece.
• Do not use or store the device where it may be exposed to noxious fumes or
volatile substances.
• Do not use the device where it may be exposed to flammable gas.
• Make sure that the nebuliser kit is clean before use.

Important safety instructions
General Safety Precautions:
• Inspect the device and parts before using them each time, and check that there
are no problems. In particular, be sure to check the following:
- That the vaporiser head, nozzle or air tube are not damaged.
- That the nozzle is not blocked.
- That the compressor operates normally.
• When using this device, there will be some noise and vibration caused by the
pump in the compressor. There will also be some noise caused by the emission
of compressed air from the nebuliser kit. This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction, or reduce the working life of the device.
• Limit use to 20 minutes at a time, and allow a 40 minute interval before using the
device again.
• Operate the device only as intended. Do not use the device for any other
purpose.
• Do not use the device at temperatures greater than +40°C.
• Do not spill liquid or medication on the battery connector, optional rechargeable
battery or charger connectors, or allow them to become dusty. Immediately wipe
off the liquid or dust with gauze or other absorbent material.
• Make sure that the air tube is securely attached to the compressor (main unit)
and nebulising parts, and does not come loose. Twist the air tube slightly when
inserting it into the connectors to avoid the tube disconnecting during use.
• The AC adapter is provided so that the unit can be completely isolated from the
power source. To completely isolate the unit from the power source unplug the
AC adapter from the power source.
Read and follow the “Correct Disposal of This Product” in the Technical Data
Section when disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional parts.
Save these instructions for future reference.
