Your physician has prescribed the LC® Sprint reusable nebulizer to
treat your respiratory symptoms because of PARI’s reputation for
consistent particle size and fast treatments resulting in targeted
delivery to the lungs. PARI nebulizers are the most widely used
nebulizer by pharmaceutical companies in clinical trials for new
medications compared to any other brand. Designed with the
patient in mind, these instructions will help you achieve the best
aerosol therapy experience.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A SECOND PARI REUSABLE
NEBULIZER & EXTRA FILTERS ON HAND AT ALL TIMES.
A. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
The LC® Sprint is a handheld nebulizer,
designed to aerosolize medication approved for
nebulization and prescribed by a physician. The
LC
®
Sprint is intended for adult and pediatric
patients consistent with the indications for the
aerosol medication. Improper use can result in
serious or fatal illness or injury. Nebulizer is
not sterile.
WARNING
Use only when prescribed by a physician and
with the prescribed medication. In order to
achieve the specified droplet characteristics the
compressor or central air supply must provide
3.5 - 8 lpm at a minimum of 20psi.
WARNING
1. To reduce the risk of increased bacterial
growth, infection, illness, or injury from
contamination: thoroughly clean and dry all
parts of the nebulizer and thoroughly dry
any moisture or condensation in the tubing
at the end of every treatment following the
instructions below.
2. Cleaning the nebulizer after each treatment
is not enough---you must regularly
disinfect or sterilize the nebulizer between
treatments to prevent serious or fatal illness
caused by contamination of the nebulizer.
3. Never use a nebulizer with a clogged nozzle.
If the nozzle is clogged, the aerosol mist will
be reduced, altered or stopped, which will
diminish or eliminate the effectiveness of the
treatment. If clogging occurs, replace with
the same model PARI Reusable Nebulizer.
4. Close supervision is necessary when this
product is used by or near children and
physically or mentally impaired. Never use
when sleeping or drowsy.
5. This product contains small parts that may
present a choking hazard to small children.
The tubing also presents a strangulation
hazard. ALWAYS USE CLOSE ADULT
SUPERVISION WHEN ADMINISTERING
A TREATMENT TO A CHILD. DO NOT
LEAVE CHILD UNATTENDED DURING
TREATMENT.
6. Patients under the age of 4 or any patients
who have special needs should use a
facemask instead of the valved mouthpiece.
7. Before use, check PARI Reusable Nebulizer
for proper assembly. All parts should be
seated firmly in place. Use of an improperly
assembled nebulizer could diminish or
prevent adequate delivery of medication and
the effectiveness of the treatment.
