V. DISINFECTING AND STERILIZING THE PARI NEBULIZER
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.
1. Clean the nebulizer as described in section IV. Every other treatment day, soak all parts
of the PARI Nebulizer (except tubing, mask and tubing adapter) in a solution of 1 part
distilled white vinegar and 3 parts hot tap water for 1 hour. You can substitute respiratory
equipment disinfectants (like Control III
manufacturer's instructions for mixing). Rinse all parts of the nebulizer thoroughly
with warm tap water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Discard the vinegar solution
when disinfection is complete.
2. The nebulizer parts (except tubing, mask and tubing adapter) may also be sterilized
by boiling them in water for a full 10 minutes. Hospitals and clinics can sterilize the
nebulizer parts (except mask and tubing) by autoclaving (a maximum of 277° F or 136° C),
follow autoclave manufacturer's instructions. Dry parts on a clean, lint-free cloth.
