Thank you for purchasing the OMRON COMP AIR basic.
This product was developed in conjunction with respiratory therapists for the successful
treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergies and other respiratory disorders.
This is a medical device. Operate the device only as instructed by your doctor and/or
respiratory therapist.
How the nebulizer kit works
The medication that is pumped up through the
medication channel is mixed with compressed air
which is generated by a compressor pump.
The medication is turned into fine particles and
sprayed when in contact with the compressed air.

Caution: Handling the Vaporizer Head
Always wash the vaporizer head after each use.
Do not use a brush or pin to clean the vaporizer head.
When disinfecting the parts by boiling, be sure to boil them in plenty of water.
Do not boil vaporizer head together with objects other than applicable nebulizer
accessories.
Cleaning
Clean the parts after each use to remove residual medication. This will avoid inefficient
nebulization or infection.
Wash them in warm water and mild detergent (neutral detergent). Rinse them
thoroughly with clean hot tap water and allow to air dry in a clean place.
Vaporizer Head
Wash it with running water.
■Non-washable parts
Compressor, Air T ube
Firstly, make sure that the power plug is unplugged from the power outlet. Wipe clean
with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent (neutral detergent).
Air Filter

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile (cellular) telephones,
medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices.
Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a
potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim to

levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms to this EN60601-12:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or
electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit
and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify correct operation of the device in
case the distance is shorter.
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at OMRON
HEALTHCARE EUROPE at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.
