Nebulizer Use instructions
Disinfecting
All nebuliser components (except air hose) can be disinfected with chemical disinfectants following dosage and use limitations
as provided by disinfec tant manufacturer. Disinfectants are usually available at pharmacies.
Sterilizing with steam
All nebuliser components (except air hose and ma-sks) can be heat steam sterilized up to 121 °C (20 min.) or 134 °C (7 min.).
EN554/ISO11134.The sterilization packaging must conform to EN868/ISO11607 and be suitable for steam sterilization.
After sterilization always let all components cool down to ambient temperature before further use.
Do not repeat sterilization cycle when compo-nents are still warm.
MAINTENANCE, CARE, AND SERVICE
Order all spare parts from your dealer or pharmacis.
It is advisable replace nebulizer after some 100 to 120 treatments on single patient or after about 20 sterilization cycles. Check
the filter continually for cleanliness and repla-ce it if dirty, or after a maximum of 3 months use. Spare filters are provided with
the device. To replace the filter, open the air filter compartment 4 marked «Filter» and change the filter 11
MALFUNCTIONS AND ACTIONS TO TAKE
The device cannot be switched on
Ensure the power cord 2 is correctly plugged into the socket. Ensure the ON/OFF switch 3 is in the position «I». The device
has automatically switched off due to overheating. Wait until it has cooled down and try again.

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Electronic devices (PC's, mobile phones, televisions, etc) that generate electromagnetic interference can
affect the correct functioning of medical devices. This situation can lead to incorrect functioning creating
unsafe conditions.
In order to show compliance with the Directives on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), all the tests intro-
duced by the standard EN60601-1-2:2007 have been implemented. This standard defines the levels of im-
munity to electromagnetic interference as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical
devices: 3A HEALTH CARE products comply with the levels specified in the standard.
However, when the device is in use, it is best practise not to use mobile phones or other electronic devices
which generate strong electromagnetic fields near the medical device. This may create dangerous condi-
tions that put the successful outcome of treatment at risk. On the basis of experience and tests conducted,
it is recommended that a minimum distance of 7 m be kept: if the distance is less, the correct functioning of
the device should be verified.
Documentation regarding the standard EN60601-1-2:2007 is available from 3A HEALTH CARE (see the
address in the instruction manual) and on the website www.3-a.it.
