Intended Patient Group; Life Cycle Of The Medical Device - Pari eFlow rapid Instrucciones De Uso

Intended patient group

®
The eFlow rapid nebuliser system is suit-
able for use by all age groups. Inhalation
with the mouthpiece is the most effective
form of inhalation, since it results in mini-
mum medication losses on the way to the
lung. For babies and infants who cannot
use the mouthpiece to inhale, PARI offers
appropriate masks as accessories.
The nebuliser system is only suitable for
use by patients who can breathe unas-
sisted and are conscious.
The nebuliser handsets are not suitable
for use by patients who are receiving
mechanical ventilation or have undergone
a tracheotomy.
Life cycle of the medical
device
The nebuliser handset with aerosol head
is designed for multiple uses. For optimal
inhalation therapy with exact dosing and
short inhalation time and to ensure the
best possible hygiene conditions, nebu-
liser handsets and aerosol heads must be
replaced regularly.
The life cycle of the nebuliser handset
depends on the daily number and duration
of the inhalation cycles performed, the
composition and variety of the nebuliser
solutions used, and the cleaning/hygiene
processes applied.
Over time, medication residues and
microparticles introduced from the envi-
ronment can partially block the fine pores
in the aerosol head and prolong the nebu-
lisation time. When the cleaning instruc-
tions are followed regularly and the
easycare cleaning aid is used, the aerosol
head has a possible life cycle between
three and six months. If the nebuliser
handset is used frequently (two or more
different nebuliser solutions several times
a day), the recommended useful life of the

aerosol head may be shortened to
a period of one to three months due to sig-
nificantly longer nebulisation time.
It is recommended to replace the plastic
parts (nebuliser handset without aerosol
head) after 12 months at the latest.
For medication-specific nebuliser hand-
