Technical Information about the Nebulizer Kit
The OMRON A3 Complete nebulizer is a medical device that generates an aerosol with variable characteristics to adapt to the patient’s respiratory pathology. By regulating the “Nebulization Control Ring” on the nebulizer’s inhalation top, it can produce an aerosol with granulometric characteristics that will deposit the maximum amount of the drug in the respiratory tract being treated. The position of the “Nebulization Control Ring” is chosen based on the indication of the following figure. Consult your doctor to recommend which position is best for your treatment.
Recommended use

With the “Nebulization Control Ring” in position 1:
The particle size is +7.5 pm and is to treat diseases such as rhinitis, sinusitis and pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and laryngitis.
With the “Nebulization Control Ring” in position 2:
The particle size is between 4.5 and 7.5 pm and is to treat diseases such as tracheitis and tracheobronchitis.
With the “Nebulization Control Ring” in position 3:
The particle size is between 2 and 4.5 pm and is to treat diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis, and bronchopneumonia.

 How to identify the position of the nebulizer On the inhalation top, there are 3 dots; the small dot corresponds to position 3, the medium dot to position 2, and the big dot to position 1. On the ring, there is a bulging tooth which is correspondent to the chosen position.

How to modify the position of the nebulizer
To modify the position of the Nebulization Control Ring, pull up the inhalation air inlet up to its maximum extension with one hand, while with the other hand turn the ring to the desired position. Then release the inhalation air inlet to fix the position. Important: It is not possible to turn the ring if the inhalation air inlet is not pulled up. A locking mechanism prevents accidental rotation.

How to use

|
---|---
1. Make sure that the power switch is in the off position.
2. Plug the power plug into a power outlet.
3. Remove the inhalation top from the medication tank by gently pulling it up.|  4. Add the correct amount of prescribed medication into the medication tank.
5. Verify the presence of the vaporizer head inside the medication tank.
|
6. Put the inhalation top back inside the medication tank.
Attention : To close the nebulizer, align the tooth of the medication tank with the groove of the inhalation top, as shown in the figure.| 7. Attach the mask, mouthpiece, or nosepiece to the nebulizer kit tightly.
|
8. Attach the air tube. While twisting the air tube plug slightly, push it firmly into the air tube connector.| 9. Hold the nebulizer kit as indicated on the right. 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 ineffective nebulization.
10. Turn the power switch to the on position. As the compressor starts, nebulization begins and aerosol is generated. Inhale the medication. Exhale through the nebulizer kit.| 11 . When treatment is completed, turn the power off and unplug the compressor from the power outlet

Cleaning and daily disinfecting

Cleaning

Clean the parts after each use to remove residual medication. This will prevent inefficient nebulization and reduce the risk of infection.
Washable parts

• Nebulizer Kit, Mask (PVC)/Mouthpiece, Nosepiece Wash them in warm water and mild detergent (neutral detergent). Rinse them thoroughly with clean hot tap water, gently tap to remove excess water, and allow to air dry in a clean place. It is advisable to replace the A3 Complete Nebulizer Kit after some 100 to 120 treatments on a single patient or after about 20 boiling cycles.
  Non-washable parts

• Compressor, Air Tube (PVC) 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. Disinfecting Always disinfect the parts after the last treatment of the day. If the parts are heavily stained, replace them with new ones. To select a method for disinfection, refer to the table below.

Note : Never clean with benzene, thinner, or a flammable chemical.
Note : After having washed the Nebulizer Kit with the available disinfectant, please rinse with clean warm water and dry thoroughly before using.
B. Applicable parts may be boiled between 15 to 20 minutes. After boiling, carefully remove the parts, shake off excess water and allow them to air dry in a clean environment.

Caution : Handling the Vaporiser Head

• Always wash the vaporizer head after each use.
• Do not use a brush or pin to clean the vaporizer head.
• When disinfecting the parts by boiling them, be sure to boil them in plenty of water.
• Do not boil the vaporizer head together with objects other than applicable nebulizer accessories.

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.

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

Changing the air filter

|
---|---

If the air filter has changed color or has been used for more than 70 applications, replace it with a new one.

1.  Raise the air filter cover as shown in the figure.
2. Remove the old air filter with a sharp object, such as a toothpick, and insert the new air filter.
3. Fit the air filter cover into its housing making sure it is flush to the surface.

Notes :

• Use only OMRON air filters designed for this device. Do not operate without a filter.
• Do not attempt to wash or clean the filter. If the air filter becomes wet, replace it. Damp air filters can cause blockages and may increase risk of infection.
• There is no front or back orientation for the air filters.
• Check that air filters are clean and free of dust before inserting them.
