HYGIENIC PREPARATION
Switch off the appliance before each hygienic preparation operation and disconnect it from the mains.
Compressor unit (A) and pipe exterior (B1)
Use only a cloth moistened with antibacterial detergent (non-abrasive and free of solvents of any kind).
Nebuliser and accessories
To disassemble the bowl, firmly grasp the bowl body and then use your other hand to rotate the particle
size regulator (B2.4) clockwise until it is ejected from the upper part (B2.3) as a result of unscrewing.
The components can then be disassembled (regulator B2.4a, valve B2.4b, selector B2.4c and upper part
B2.3) to be cleaned. The nozzle (B2.2) is interference fitted in the upper part (B2.3) and can be extracted
by simply pulling it outwards.
Then proceed according to the following instructions.
Sanitisation
Before and after each use, sanitise the nebuliser and accessories by choosing one of the methods
provided in the table and described below.
method A: Sanitise the accessories under warm drinking water (approx. 40°C) with mild dishwashing
detergent (non-abrasive).
method B: Sanitise the accessories in the dishwasher with the hot cycle (70°C).
method C: Sanitise the accessories by soaking in a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar, then
rinse thoroughly with warm drinking water (approx. 40°C).
After sanitising the accessories, shake them vigorously and place them on a paper towel, or
alternatively dry them with a hot air jet (e.g. hair dryer).
Disinfection
After sanitising the nebuliser and accessories, disinfect them using one of the methods provided in the
table and described below. Each method can be performed for a limited number of times (see figure
in table).
method A: Obtain a disinfectant of the electrolytic chloride type (active ingredient: sodium
hypochlorite), specifically for disinfection, available in all pharmacies.
Execution:
- Fill a container of a suitable size to hold all the individual components to be disinfected with a
solution of drinking water and disinfectant, observing the proportions indicated on the packaging
of the disinfectant.
- Completely immerse each individual component in the solution, taking care to avoid the formation
of air bubbles in contact with the components. Leave the components immersed for the period of
time indicated on the disinfectant packaging, and associated with the concentration chosen for the
preparation of the solution.
- Recover the disinfected components and rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm drinking water.
- Dispose of the solution according to the disinfectant manufacturer's instructions.
method B: Disinfect accessories by boiling them in water for 10 minutes; use demineralised or distilled
water to avoid hard water deposits.
SoftTouch masks have an outer edge made of soft, biocompatible ma-
terial that ensures an optimal fit on the face, and are also equipped with
theinnovative Dispersion Limiter. These characteristic features allow
for greater sedimentation of the drug in the patient, and again limit its
dispersion.
