MAINTENANCE

• The CLINEB PRO atomiser does not need maintenance or lubrication.
• With regard to training, given the information contained in the user manual and since it is easy to understand the said device, it doesn’t appear to be necessary.
• Before use always check correct functioning and safety of the device. Carry out disinfection as described in the “CLEANING ACCESSORIES” section. Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding cable, they might have been damaged during previous use. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch on.
• Close the air outlet with one finger to make sure that noise produced is regular and there is no malfunctioning.
• With the air outlet always closed check the correct functioning of the nebulization regulator by turning the knob form MIN to MAX. Make sure the indicator of the pressure meter is working correctly. Verify that the atomiser is not damaged by previous use (it was badly put away or badly knocked). A protection fuse (F 1×1.6A L 250V) reachable from exterior and it situated in the plug protects the instrument. For use replacing, always check the type and the range indicated.

CA-MI S.r.l will provide upon request electric diagrams, components list, description, setting instructions and any other information that can help the technical assistance staff for product repair.

If the unit doesn’t nebulizer once the above conditions have been checked, we suggest to contact your dealer or technical service CA-MI.

The manufactured cannot be held liable for accidental or indirect damages should the device be modified, repaired without authorization or should any of its component be damaged due to accident or misuse. Any minimal modification / repair on the device voids the warranty and does not guarantee the compliance with the technical requirements provided by the MDD 93/42/EEC (and subsequent changes) and its normatives.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

• The device must be checked before each use in order to detect malfunctions and / or damage caused by transport and / or storage.
• During the inhalation must sit in an upright and relaxed position at a table and not in an armchair, to avoid compressing the airways and therefore compromising the effectiveness of the treatment.

WARNING : Put the device on a flat and stable surface in order not to block the cooling vents on the sides of the device.

• Extract the power supply cable and insert the plug into the mains socket. It is recommended to unwind the entire length of the power supply cable to prevent dangerous overheating. If the power supply cable is damage and must be replaced contact the CA-MI technical service;
• Using your fingers, press the two side tabs of the nebuliser cup that hold the top of the nebuliser cup against the bottom of the same component;
• Pour the medicine prescribed by the doctor into the nebulizer;
• Re-close the nebulizer, re-screwing the lid;
• Connect the air tube to the air outlet nozzle of the device positioned inside the accessory compartment, making sure to keep the cover lifted during operation;
• Connect the desired accessory to the nebulizer: child mask or adult mask, mouth-piece or nosepiece;
• Ensure that the supplied air filter is present;
• Press the ON/OFF switch to position I to start nebulization.
• To interrupt or stop the treatment press again the ON/OFF switch.
• Adjust the nebulization speedy by turning the know towards MIN for longer treatments, or towards MAX for quicker treatments.
• After treatment has been completed press the ON/OFF switch to position 0 and pull out the plug from the wall socket.
• Wash the nebulizers and the accessories as explained in the Cleaning section.
• Place back power cord and accessories into the compartments.

Inhalation Valve:
Three vents on top are mechanically opened by patient inhalation force, entraining ambi ent air. The airflow generated by the compressor along with the airstream entrained by patient enhance the nebulisation activity inside the chamber, thus increasing the volume of aerosol delivered to the patient.

Exhalation Valve:
While remaining closed during inhalation to prevent aerosol to be wasted in the air, the exhalation valve opens when patient starts exhaling, directing the exhaled air in the ambi ent and preventing mixing with medication in the chamber.

Spee d Selector:
By rotating and stopping the speed selector on one of the 4 available positions (I-II-III-IV), speed of nebulization can be doubled while maintaining a stable and optimal particle size.  Always use the nebulizer facing upwards so that substances and / or medicines cannot escape from the nebulizer during the normal use.

WARNING : The power supply cable plug is the element of separation from the electrical mains system: even if the units equipped with a special on / off switch button, the power supply plug must be kept accessible once the device is in use so as to allow a further method of disconnection from the mains supply system.

NEVER INHALE IN HORIZONTAL POSITION NEVER BEND THE NEBULIZER OVER 60° MAKE SURE THAT CHILDREN AND/OR MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE DO NOT USE THE DEVICE WITHOUT ADULT SURVEILLANCE
