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 nebuliser kit, and does not come loose. Twist the airtube plug 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.

Cleaning Parts After Use (Section 5)

Note: Failure to clean the nebulising parts

after use may lead to infection.

How the nebuliser kit works

The compressed air from the compressor is forced through the nozzle, as it does so, it is mixed with the medication in the vaporiser head and forced upwards. The medication is then turned into a fine aerosol and directed upwards by the baffle, where it is broken down into many smaller aerosol particles.
