water; dip in boiling water for 5 minutes. Reassemble the nebulizer components and connect it to the air-
outlet (Pic.G), switch the device on and let it work for 10-15 minutes. The air tube must be washed with warm
water. Do not boil nor autoclave the air tube.
Replacement of the nebulizer
The nebulizer must be replaced after a long period of inactivity, in case it shows deformations or breakings,
or when the nebulizer nozzle is obstructed by dry medicine, dust, etc. DeVilbiss Healthcare recommends to
replace the nebulizer after a period between 6 months and 1 year depending on the usage.
Use original nebulizers only.
Replacement of the air filter
In normal usage conditions, the air filter must be replaced approximately after 500 working hours or after each
year. DeVilbiss Healthcare recommends to periodically check the air filter (10 - 12 treatments) and, if the filter
shows a grey or brown colour or is wet, replace it. Extract the filter (Pic. A-5) and replace it with a new one. Do
not try to clean the filter for reusing it. The air filter shall not be serviced or maintained while in use with a patient.
Use original filters only. Do not use the device without filter.
