How to use Omron Compressor Nebulizer NE-C803

Warning: Clean and disinfect the nebulizer kit, mask, mouthpiece or optional nosepiece before using them when as follows:

the first time after purchase.
if the device has not been used for a long period of time
if more than one person uses the same device

For the instructions, refer to "Cleaning and disinfecting" section.

Make sure that the power switch is in the off ( ) position.
Connect the AC adapter to the compressor and plug the power plug into a power outlet.
Remove the inhalation top together with vaporizer head from the medication tank.
Note: If the vaporizer head came off the inhalation top and fell into the medication tank, remove it out of the tank.
Add the correct amount of prescribed medication to the medication tank.
Make sure that the vaporizer head is securely attached to the inhalation top.
Note: The sizes of the left- and right-hand attached parts of the vaporizer head are not the same. If the vaporizer head is not attached in the correct orientation, it will not nebulize correctly.
Put the inhalation top back inside the medication tank.
1. Align the protrusion on the inhalation top with the indent on the medication tank, as shown.
2. Rotate the inhalation top clockwise until the arrow mark on it and the alignment mark on the medication tank are aligned, and they click in place.
Attach the mask, mouthpiece or optional nosepiece to the nebulizer kit tightly.
Note: Make sure that these attachments are fitted in such a way that the handle is positioned away from the patient. Otherwise, medication may be sprayed on patient's skin or clothes.
Attach the air tube.
Push the air tube plugs firmly into the air tube connectors.
The nebulizer kit can be fixed on the compressor.
Hold the nebulizer kit as indicated below.
Follow the instructions of your doctor or respiratory therapist.
Caution: Do not tilt the nebulizer kit at an angle of greater than 45 degrees in all directions. Medication may flow into the mouth or it may result in not nebulizing effectively.
Press the power switch to the on ( ) position. As the compressor starts, nebulization begins and aerosol is generated.
Inhale the medication.
When treatment is complete, turn the power off. Unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and disconnect it from the compressor.
Note: Securely hold and press the power plug down to disconnect the AC adapter.

Caution: Do not pull the power cord. Damage may be caused.

Removing condensation from the air tube

If there is moisture or liquid remaining in the air tube, be sure to follow the procedure below to remove any moisture from within the air tube.

Make sure that the air tube is connected to the air connector on the compressor.
Remove the air tube from the nebulizer kit.
Turn on the compressor and pump air through the air tube to expel the moisture.

Cleaning
Clean the parts after each use to remove residual medication. This will avoid inefficient nebulization or infection.
Washable parts

Nebulizer Kit (Inhalation top, Medication tank), Mask (PVC), Mouthpiece, Nosepiece (optional)
Wash them in warm water and mild detergent (neutral detergent). Rinse them thoroughly with clean hot tap water and allow to air dry in a clean place.
Vaporizer Head
Wash it with running water.

Non-washable parts

Compressor, Air Tube
Firstly, make sure that the power plug is unplugged from the power outlet. Wipe clean with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent (neutral detergent).
Air Filter
Do not wash or clean the air filter. If the air filter becomes wet, replace it. Damp air filters can cause blockages.
