contagion. open the nebulizer by turning the top (C5.1) counterclockwise, then remove the nozzle from
the top (C5.1), and disassemble it as shown in the "Connection Diagram" section C5.2.
SANITIZATION
Before and after each use, sanitize the nebulizer and accessories according to one of the methods
described below.
(Method A): The accessories that can be sanitized with the method A are (C1-C2-C3-C4-C5.1-C5.2-
C5.3-C5.4)
Sanitize the accessories in warm (approximately 40° C) drinking water with mild dishwashing liquid
(non abrasive) or in the dishwasher with hot cycle
(Method B): The accessories that can be sanitized with the method B are (C1-C2-C3-C4-C5.1-C5.2-
C5.3-C5.4)
Sanitize the accessories by immersion in a solution consisting of 60% water and 40% white vinegar.
Finally rinse thoroughly with warm (approximately 40° C) drinking water.
(Method C): The accessories that can be sanitized with the method C are (C3-C4-C5.1-C5.2-
C5.3-C5.4)
Sanitize the accessories by boiling in water for 20 minutes; it is preferable the use of demineralized or
distilled water to avoid scale deposits.
After sanitization shake the accessories vigorously and place them on a paper towel, or alternatively, dry
them with a jet of hot air (e.g. using a hair dryer).
DISINFECTION
The accessories that can be disinfected are (C1-C2-C3-C4-C5.1-C5.2-C5.3-C5.4)
The disinfection procedure described in this paragraph is to be performed before using the accessories
and is effective only if all the prescriptions herein are met and all the components involved are
previously sanitized.
The disinfectant to be used must be of electrolytic oxidizing chlorine type, (active ingredient: sodium
hypochlorite), specific for disinfection and is available in all pharmacies.
Procedure:
- Fill a container, suitable to contain all the individual components to be disinfected, with a solution of
drinking water and disinfectant, while respecting the proportions indicated on the packaging of the
disinfectant itself.
- Completely immerse each individual component in the solution, taking care to avoid the formation
of air bubbles in contact with the components. Leave the components immersed for the period of
time indicated on the packaging of the disinfectant, and associated with the concentration chosen to
prepare the solution.
- Remove the components now disinfected and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm drinking water.
SoftTouch masks have an outer edge made of soft
biocompatible material that ensures excellent adherence to
the face, and is also equipped with an innovative Dispersion
Limiting Device. These distinctive elements that distinguish it
allow greater sedimentation of medication in the patient and
also limit dispersion.
During the expiratory phase, the tab,
acting as a Dispersion Limiting Device,
bends outwards from the mask.
