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 enclosed instructions.

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.

B. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - TREK® S PORTABLE AEROSOL SYSTEM

WARNING

Use only with nebulizers and tubing authorized by PARI for this device. Other nebulizers and tubing may result in improper treatment.

When using electrical and medical products, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions must

be followed.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from electrocution:

1.Do not place or store the product where it can fall or be knocked into bathtub, sink, water, or other liquid. Do not place or drop into water or other liquid. Do not use while bathing.

2.Do not reach for a product that has fallen into water or other liquid. Unplug immediately.

WARNING

11.The compressor has auto-resettable thermal protection.

If the compressor shuts down due to temperature, it will restart automatically when it cools off if the switch is not set to the off position. Ensure the switch is set to the off position if the compressor shuts off due to temperature.

12.Always unplug immediately after using.

13.Do not use the PARI TREK® S Compressor or the PARI Reusable Nebulizer while operating a vehicle.

14.Portable and mobile RF communication devices can disrupt electrical medical equipment.The electrical field generated when the compressor is running can interfere with screens and monitors (flickering). For this reason, the compressor must be placed far enough away from screens/monitors

to prevent such interference.Technical electromagnetic compatibility data is available in table form upon request from PARI Respiratory Equipment Inc./Patient Connection 1.800.FAST.NEB (327.8632), press 2.

D. TREK® S SETUP (CONTINUED)

You are 10 Steps away from starting your treatment with Trek® S. Please follow step by step.

1.Clean/Disinfect Nebulizer Cup: Refer to Sections E-F to properly clean and/or disinfect your nebulizer prior to first use. Re-assemble nebulizer.

2.Set-up Compressor: Place the compressor on a flat, stable surface free of dust. Do not operate the compressor while it is in the carry case or covered, as this can cause excessive heat buildup in the compressor housing.Avoid cushioned, upholstered or carpeted surfaces. Make sure power switch is turned “OFF” .

3.Connect Tubing To Compressor: Insert one end of

Wing Tip® tubing to the air outlet on the compressor. It should fit snugly (Fig. F).

4.Load Medication: Open the inspiratory valve cap of nebulizer by lifting the cap (Fig. G). Pour the prescribed dose of medication into nebulizer cup. Never fill past the max. fill line of 8 ml.

5.Attach Mouthpiece or Mask: If using the mouthpiece, attach the mouthpiece to the nebulizer outlet with the expiratory valve facing up.Then close

the inspiratory valve cap by pressing firmly on the nebulizer top. If using a mask, refer to the mask instructions for use.

6.Attach Tubing To Nebulizer Cup: Firmly press the other end of the Wing Tip® tubing to bottom of PARI reusable nebulizer (Fig. H).

7.Starting Treatment: Sit in a relaxed, upright position and turn the compressor “ON” .

8.Nebulizer Position: Place the mouthpiece on top of tongue and close lips around it.Take slow, deep breaths.As you inhale, the inhalation valve opens.

9.Breathing: For mouthpiece, inhale and exhale slowly through your mouth.As you exhale, the valve on the mouthpiece opens to allow the exhaled mist to escape. For mask, place mask over nose and mouth and inhale and exhale slowly.

10.Complete Treatment: Continue until the medication is gone or you hear a slight “sputtering” sound.Turn compressor “OFF” .

NOTE: The PARI TREK® S Compressor is protected by an automatic resettable thermal switch. If the PARI TREK® S Compressor has reached its temperature limit, it will

automatically turn off to prevent damage to the compressor. In the unlikely event this occurs, switch off the PARI Trek®

S Compressor, ensure it is on a flat, stable surface and is not covered, and allow the compressor to cool down. If the PARI Trek® S Compressor is not manually switched off, it will automatically restart when the compressor cools.

The PARI TREK® S Compressor may need approximately 30 minutes to cool down prior to resuming the treatment. If the PARI TREK® S Compressor does not start after it is switched on after cooling for 30 minutes, please switch it off, allow another few minutes for the compressor to cool, and try again. If you need to use the PARI Trek® S Compressor for longer than 30 minutes, please contact PARI at 1.800.FAST.NEB (327.8632).
