Hygienic re-use

6.1 General

In order to prevent a risk to health, e.g., infection due to a contami-
nated nebuliser, it is imperative that the following hygiene regula-
tions are followed.
The PARI LC SPRINT SINUS nebuliser is designed for multiple uses. Please
be aware that different requirements regarding hygienic re-use are in effect
for different fields of application:
- At home (single patient use):
The nebuliser must be cleaned and disinfected after each use.
- Hospital / medical practice (possible change in patient):
The PARI LC SPRINT SINUS nebuliser must be cleaned, disinfected and
sterilised after each use.
- Additional requirements concerning the necessary hygienic preparations
(hand care, handling of medications or inhalation solutions) in high-risk
groups (e.g., patients with cystic fibrosis) can be obtained from the respec-
tive self-help groups.
- Proof of suitability of the nebulisers for effective cleaning, disinfection and
sterilisation has been obtained through an independent testing laboratory
using the recommended procedures stated in Chapter 6.4.1 "Cleaning/dis-
infection" (test documentation available for inspection on request). Using
the named alternatives remains the responsibility of the user.
- Please ensure adequate drying after each cleaning, disinfection and/or
sterilisation. Condensation or residual wetness can present an increased
risk through the growth of bacteria.
- Please check the parts of your nebuliser regularly and replace any defec-
tive (broken, misshapen, discoloured) parts.
Like all plastic parts, the PARI LC SPRINT SINUS nebuliser is susceptible to
a certain degree of wear when it is used and reprocessed frequently. Over
time, this can cause a change in the aerosol, which in turn impairs the thera-
peutic efficiency.
You should replace the nebuliser at least once a year. For this purpose, PARI
GmbH can offer you the useful PARI LC SPRINT SINUS Year Pack (see
Chapter 9 "Replacement sets, replacement parts and accessories").
