CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING OF THE MAIN UNIT
Use a clean dry cloth and mild detergents for cleaning the unit.
ATTENTION: during cleaning operations, make sure the inter-
nal parts of the unit are not in contact with liquids and the power
cord is not connected.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE ACCESSORIES
After each treatment:
The nebulizer, mouthpiece and nosepiece must be disinfected by boiling with
water (max. 10 minutes) or in autoclave (max. 121°C). We suggest you disinfect
the mask and the angled mounthpiece using cold disinfecting liquids (solutions
with hypochlorite). Dry the nebulizer using a clean cloth; after connect it to
the air outlet (pic. A/4), switch the device on and let it work freely for 10-15
minutes.
Do not boil nor autoclave the air tube, the mask and the
angled mounthpiece.
Following carefully the cleaning and disinfecting instructions
is very important for the product performance and for a successful
therapy.
REPLACEMENT OF THE NEBULIZER
The nebulizer must be replaced after a long period of inactivity, or when it is
obstructed by dry medication, dust, etc.
Your nebulizer should last from 6 months to 1 year with general use.
Use original MEDELJET nebulizers only.
REPLACEMENT OF THE FILTER
The MEDEL FAMILY Porex filter must be replaced approximately after 500 hours
of use or each year; control the filter periodically (10-12 aerosol treatments );
when it turns grey or brown or wet, replace it; extract the filter (pic. A/5) and
replace it with a new one. Don't try to clean the filter and to reuse.
Use original filters only.
Do not use the device without filter.
