E. TIMESTRIP
®
It is very important to replace your PARI reusable
nebulizer every 6 months for the most effective
treatments. Timestrip is a visual indicator that makes it
®
easy for you to remember when to replace your nebulizer.
Activating Timestrip : Firmly squeeze the PARI bubble
®
between your finger and thumb. You may need to squeeze
it more than once to ensure all the liquid has been
emptied from the bubble.
Verify Activation: A red line will appear in the small circle of
the Timestrip within 1 to 2 minutes, indicating activation.
®
If you do not see the red line after 3 minutes, press the
bubble again.
Attach to compressor: Remove the adhesive tab on the
back of the Timestrip ® and attach the Timestrip
the front of your compressor as indicated in Section C.
IMPORTANT – DO NOT ATTACH Timestrip
NEBULIZER CUP.
Replace Nebulizer: When you see the word NOW appear
in the window (Fig. E), you know it's time for a new PARI
reusable nebulizer! Contact your home healthcare provider
or pharmacy to order your new PARI reusable nebulizer.
WARNING
The Timestrip may present a choking hazard to small
®
children – adult supervision is required.
Timestrip ® does not monitor the condition of the PARI reusable nebulizer. Timestrip
only records the passage of time after it is activated. If activated at the time of first using
the PARI reusable nebulizer then it will serve as a reminder that the PARI reusable
nebulizer can be replaced.
The liquid inside the Timestrip ® is not toxic. If tampered with, the Timestrip
and will not function properly. If the liquid comes into contact with the skin wash with
soap and water. If the liquid comes into contact with eyes rinse immediately with water
for 15 minutes. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.

• Fast and efficient treatments
• Bacterial contamination can be reduced*
F. CLEANING YOUR PARI REUSABLE
NEBULIZER
1. Disconnect the tubing from the air intake on the
bottom of the nebulizer cup.
2. If there is any moisture (condensation) in the tubing,
let the compressor run with only the tubing attached
for 2-3 minutes. The warm air from the compressor
will dry out the tubing. Alternatively, you can dry
the tubing by removing it from the compressor and
hanging it up with the "ends down" to allow any
moisture (condensation) to drain out and evaporate.
Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the exterior of
the tubing.
3. Disassemble reusable nebulizer parts as illustrated
on page 3.
4. Wash all parts with warm water and liquid dish soap.
DO NOT WASH THE TUBING.
5. Rinse the reusable nebulizer parts thoroughly with
warm water and shake out water.
6. Air dry or hand dry nebulizer parts on a clean, lint-
free cloth. Reassemble nebulizer when parts are dry
and store.
7. You can also wash all parts of the reusable nebulizer
on the top shelf of a dishwasher. DO NOT WASH
TUBING. Place the reusable nebulizer parts in a
®
dishwasher basket, then place the basket on the top
rack of the dishwasher. Remove and dry the parts
when the dishwasher cycle is complete.
WARNING
TO REDUCE RISK OF INFECTION:
1. Nebulizer for single patient use (one person) only. Do
not share your nebulizer with other patients.
2. You must regularly disinfect or sterilize the nebulizer
between treatments. Failure to do so could lead to
serious or fatal illness.
