Welcome to the Vios experience! The Vios® Aerosol Delivery System is designed from PARI’s long legacy of clinically proven products and consists of two important components: a Vios® compressor and a PARI nebulizer. Vios® was inspired by the Latin and Greek words for “Life” and our goal is to improve your quality of “Life” through the efficient delivery of aerosol. Your physician has prescribed the Vios® to treat your respiratory symptoms because of PARI’s reputation for consistent particle size and fast treatments resulting in targeted delivery to the lungs. PARI products have been used in more than 25 clinical trials for new nebulized medications. Designed with the patient in mind, these instructions will help you achieve the best aerosol therapy experience.
INDICATIONS FOR USE: LC PLUS®
The PARI LC PLUS® reusable nebulizer is used to deliver aerosolized medication
to the lungs. This nebulizer is used with patients for whom a physician has
prescribed medication for aerosol treatments in the home, doctor’s office,
hospital, or clinic.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS – LC PLUS
CAUTION: US Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order
of a physician. Use only when prescribed by a physician and with the
prescribed medication.
The LC PLUS® is a handheld nebulizer, designed to aerosolize medication
approved for nebulization and prescribed by a physician. The LC PLUS® is
intended for adult and pediatric patients consistent with the indications for
the aerosol medication. Improper use can result in serious or fatal illness or
injury. Nebulizer is not sterile.
WARNING: Use only when prescribed by a physician and with the prescribed
medication. In order to achieve the specified droplet characteristics the
compressor or central air supply must provide 3.5 – 8 lpm at a minimum of
20psi.
WARNING:
- To reduce the risk of increased bacterial growth, infection, illness, or injury from contamination: thoroughly clean and dry all parts of the nebulizer and thoroughly dry any moisture or condensation in the tubing at the end of every treatment following the instructions below.
- Cleaning the nebulizer after each treatment is not enough—you must regularly disinfect or sterilize the nebulizer between treatments to prevent serious or fatal illness caused by contamination of the nebulizer.
- Never use a nebulizer with a clogged nozzle. If the nozzle is clogged, the aerosol mist will be reduced, altered or stopped, which will diminish or eliminate the effectiveness of the treatment. If clogging occurs, replace with the same model PARI Reusable Nebulizer.
- Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by or near children and physically or mentally impaired. Never use when sleeping or drowsy
- This product contains small parts that may present a choking hazard to small children. The tubing also presents a strangulation hazard. ALWAYS USE CLOSE ADULT SUPERVISION WHEN ADMINISTERING A TREATMENT TO A CHILD. DO NOT LEAVE CHILD UNATTENDED DURING TREATMENT.
- Patients under the age of 4 or any patients who have special needs should use a facemask instead of the valved mouthpiece.
- Before use, check PARI Reusable Nebulizer for proper assembly. All parts should be seated firmly in place. Use of an improperly assembled nebulizer could diminish or prevent adequate delivery of medication and the effectiveness of the treatment.

VIOS® SET-UP
You are 10 Steps away from starting your treatment with Vios®. Please follow
step by step.
1. Clean/Disinfect Nebulizer Cup: Refer to Sections E & F to properly clean
and disinfect your nebulizer prior to first use. Re-assemble nebulizer.
WARNING
- Never block the air vents of this compressor or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air vents may be blocked. Keep the air vents free of lint, hair, and similar substances. Blocked vents could cause excessive heat buildup.
- Set-up Compressor: Place the compressor on a flat, stable surface free of dust. Avoid cushioned, upholstered or carpeted surfaces. Make sure power switch is turned to , the “OFF” position. Plug power cord into wall outlet (Fig A).
- Connect Tubing To Compressor: Insert one end of Wing Tip® tubing to the air outlet on the compressor. It should fit snugly (Fig. B).
- Load Medication: Remove the nebulizer insert by twisting counter-clockwise until it stops and lift up. Pour the prescribed dose of medication into the nebulizer cup. Never fill past the max fill line of 8ml (Fig. C). Replace the nebulizer insert making sure the two alignment rings are lined up with each other.
- Attach Mouthpiece or Mask: If using the mouthpiece, attach the mouthpiece to the nebulizer outlet with the expiratory valve facing up. Then attach the inspiratory valve cap by pressing it firmly into the top of the nebulizer. If using the Bubbles the Fish™ II Pediatric Mask provided with the unit, attach the mask directly to the nebulizer outlet. If using another type of mask refer to the mask instructions.
- Attach Tubing To Nebulizer Cup: Firmly press the other end of the Wing Tip® tubing to bottom of PARI reusable nebulizer (Fig. D).
- Starting Treatment: Sit in a relaxed, upright position and turn the compressor “ON” ().
- Nebulizer Position: Place the mouthpiece on top of tongue and close lips around it. Take slow, deep breaths. As you inhale, the inhalation valve opens.
- Breathing: For mouthpiece, inhale and exhale slowly through your mouth. As you exhale, the valve on the mouthpiece opens to allow the exhaled mist to escape. For mask, place mask over nose and mouth and inhale and exhale slowly.
- Complete Treatment: Continue until the medication is gone or you hear a slight “sputtering” sound. Turn compressor off.
A NOTE ON TREATMENT TIME
Please note that many factors affect treatment time, such as a patient’s age,
condition, breathing pattern, and medication. The Vios® was designed for
intermittent use to deliver respiratory medications, not continuous use for
humidification or prolonged treatments (for example, over 35 minutes at one
time). It is possible with prolonged treatments that the tubing may get warm
and disconnect from the Vios® air outlet. If your physician prescribed
consecutive (back to back) treatments, resulting in the use of your Vios® for
longer than 35 minutes at a time, please contact PARI Patient Connection at
1.800.FAST.NEB (327.8632).
CLEANING YOUR PARI REUSABLE NEBULIZER
- Disconnect the tubing from the air intake on the bottom of the nebulizer cup.
- If there is any moisture (condensation) in the tubing, let the compressor run with only the tubing attached for 2-3 minutes. The warm air from the compressor will dry out the tubing. Alternatively, you can dry the tubing by removing it from the compressor and hanging it up with the “ends down” to allow any moisture (condensation) to drain out and evaporate. Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the tubing.
- Disassemble reusable nebulizer parts as illustrated on page 3.
- Wash all parts including the Bubbles II pediatric mask in warm water and liquid dish soap. DO NOT WASH TUBING.
- Rinse the reusable nebulizer parts and Bubbles II pediatric mask thoroughly with warm water and shake out water.
- Air dry or hand dry nebulizer parts on a clean, lint-free cloth. Reassemble nebulizer when parts are dry and store.
- You can also wash all parts of the nebulizer on the top shelf of a dishwasher. DO NOT WASH TUBING. DO NOT PLACE BUBBLES II MASK IN DISHWASHER. Place the reusable nebulizer parts in a dishwasher basket, then place the basket on the top rack of the dishwasher. Remove and dry the parts when the dishwasher cycle is complete.
WARNING
TO REDUCE RISK OF INFECTION:
- Nebulizer for single patient use (one person) only. Do not share your nebulizer with other patients.
- You must regularly disinfect or sterilize the nebulizer between treatments. Failure to do so could lead to serious or fatal illness.
DISINFECTING YOUR PARI REUSABLE NEBULIZER
- Clean the nebulizer as described in Section E. For low-level disinfection every other treatment day, soak all parts of the PARI Reusable Nebulizer (except tubing and mask) in a solution of 1 part distilled white vinegar and 3 parts hot tap water for 1 hour. You can substitute respiratory equipment disinfectant (like Control III®) for distilled white vinegar (follow manufacturer’s instructions for mixing).
- Rinse all parts of the PARI Reusable Nebulizer thoroughly with warm tap water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Discard the vinegar solution when disinfection is complete.
- The PARI Reusable Nebulizer parts (except tubing and mask) may also be disinfected by boiling them in a clean pot of water for a full 5 minutes.
- Hospitals and clinics can sterilize the PARI Reusable Nebulizer parts (except mask and tubing) by autoclaving (a maximum of 277° F or 136° C), follow autoclave manufacturer’s instructions.
- Dry parts on a clean, lint-free cloth.
