3-stage nebuliser cup
The effectiveness of aerosol therapy depends on the quality of medicine
diffusion through the respiratory tract. The nebuliser cup plays an essential
role in creating particles with a diameter that is optimal for therapy,
ensuring fast and uniform treatment.
Mediblink 3-stage nebulizer cup produces particles as small as 3,34 μm (MMAD),
so approximately 78% of particles achieves lower airways, all the way to lungs
alveoli (PORR).
Mediblink 3-stage nebulizer cup also enables the user to set the nebulization
rate to 3 different levels: MIN (0,12 ml/min), MED (0,20 ml/min) and MAX (0,30
ml/min).
The nebulization rate (speed) can be changed with a combination of pressing
the BUTTON (options MIN/MAX) on the top of the nebulization cup (Picture 3a)
and switching up and down the blue core, called SPRAY NOZZLE (options
MIN/MAX), located inside the nebulizer cup (Picture 3b).
Table 1: Nebulizer cup nebulization rate settings: MIN / MED / MAX
SPRAY NOZZLE position | MAX | MIN | MAX | MIN |
---|---|---|---|---|
BUTTON on the top of the cup position | MAX | MAX | MIN | MIN |
NEBULIZATION RATE | >=0.3ml/min | >=0.2ml/min | >=0.2ml/min | >=0.12ml/min |
NEBULIZATION TIME
(5ml of saline solution)| 16 min| 25 min| 25 min| 40 min
The button on the top of the nebulizer cup can be switched when the nebulizer
is in use. The switch inside the nebulizer cup must be set to MIN or MAX
before the nebulizer is used and before the saline solution or medicine is put
in to the nebulizer cup.

2 Masks: for adults and children
Soft masks which adapts to your face, minimising drug waste. The masks were
designed to ensure correct and efficient therapy for children and adults
alike.
Adults should breath throug the mouth, as this is the most efficient way to
deliver the flow of solution directly into the lower airways, while the
children mask should cover both nose and mouth – this is due to the fact that
children are not yet able to coordinate their breathing.
Mouthpiece
The mouthpiece can be used alone, without the mask. The mouthpiece conveys the aerosol jet directly into raspiratory tract. This minimises drug waste while maximising efficacy.
Preparing and using the appliance
- Take the appliance out of the package;
- Insert the medicine and/or saline solution in the nebuliser cup, according to the doses recommended by your physician, without exceeding the maximum level;
- Close the nebuliser cup and take the tube and attach it to the compressed air outlet on the nebulizer;
- Connect the tube to the nebuliser cup;
- Connect the nebuliser cup to the accessory needed for the therapy: mask for adults and children, or mouthpiece. In case of doubt, ask your physician about which accessory to use.
- Connect the power cord plug to the mains;
- Turn on by pressing the on/off switch and start therapy;
- Start with nebulization.
- Carry out treatment preferably seated and in a comfortable position;
- When the aerosol jet becomes intermittent, interrupt the treatment for a few seconds to allow the suspended drops of solution to fall off the nebuliser cup walls. Resume the treatment session, which will be finished when no more nebulised solution is released from the nebuliser cup;
- Once the treatment session is completed, switch the appliance off, unplug it, remove the accessory used and clean the appliance and accessories according to the instructions in the Cleaning and Maintenance paragraph.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance of the compressor nebulizer
Warning!
Do not wet the device or put it into water or other liquids. For cleaning, use
a clean, dry cloth only.
Cleaning and maintenance of the nebuliser cup and accessories
After each use, remove and detach all the nebulizer components and separately
flush each part (except connection tube) of the nebulizer under running water.
Water temperature must not exceed 50 °C. Allow all nebulizer parts to air-dry
thoroughly.
Do not clean the connection tube (air tube). If the water droplets
accidentally enter the air tube, and the natural wind can not dry the air
tube, then only air tube must be connected to the nebulizer, and the nebulizer
must be switched on to discharge the water droplets from the air tube. When no
droplets are left in the air tube, the nebulizer cup and mask can be attached
on the tube, and the user can start using the nebulizer.
Warning!
Cold disinfect all parts that come in contact with the patient using denatured
alcohol. Carefully dry all components and the device before reassembling.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from light and heat.
Warning!
Never use benzene, thinners or other inflammable chemical substances for
cleaning.
For increased hygienic safety, never use the same accessories on more than one
patient. Contact local Mediblink representative to order nebulizer spare
parts.
Checking and replacing filters
Periodically check the condition of the filter. The filter was inserted to
protect the compressor. Correct filter maintenance prolongs the life of the
nebulizer. The frequency with which filter should be replaced depends on the
conditions in which the unit is used.
The filter is located on the front of the nebulizer.
To replace the filter:
- Open the filter cover cap;
- Remove the filter to be replaced from its housing;
- Carefully fit the new filter;
- Fit the filter cover cap back on.
Warning!
Never leave the filter cover cap and/or filters unattended: These are small
parts posing the risk of suffocation if swallowed by children.
