Step One:
Please refer to the Section 7 to do the Cleaning & Disinfection.
Step Two:
Open the medication cover and fill the medication cup with liquid medication.
Please see the Figure 4 Filling Procedure for reference.

Step Three:
Connect mask or mouthpiece as in Figure 5 below, and click ON/OFF switch to power on.

Please hold the nebulizer to keep liquid medication in contact with the vibrating mesh, and the stream of inhalation, Please see Figure 6 below.

Step Four:
When finishing nebulization, press ON/OFF switch to power off. Pour out the residual liquid medication from the medication cup. Please see Figure 7 below.

Step Five:
Clean after use:
Clean and disinfect the main unit, medication cover, medication cup and mask or mouthpiece by the method detailed in Section 7 (Please refer to the Section 7 Cleaning & Disinfection).
Note:
a.Please keep the device vertical and do not shake during the operation.
b.Holding inhaled breath for a short while can enhance the effectiveness of nebulization therapy.
c.The medication liquid will sometimes congeal on spray connector and mesh disc, which will influence the nebulization rate. We recommended stopping nebulization, removing mask or mouthpiece, and using clean medical gauze to clean the residue.
d. Please contact manufacturer with any additional questions for use.

Cleaning & Disinfection

Before and after use, be sure to clean and disinfect the main unit, medication cover, medication cup and mask or mouthpiece. We recommend one device be used and reused for a single person. The device is not provided sterile.
7.1 Cleaning
a. Remove the mask or mouthpiece from the main unit.
b. Pour a small amount of clean water into the medication cup and close the medication cover. Soak the medication cup for 5 minutes.
c.Turn on the device to nebulize the clean water for 1 to 2 minutes to remove residual medication from the mesh.
d.Turn off the device and disassemble the medication cover and medication cup from the main unit.
e. Please clean the casing of the main unit by moistening a clean medical gauze with clean water and immediately drying using clean medical gauze. Also clean the electrodes with clean medical gauze.
f. Please rinse the mask or mouthpiece, medication cover and medication cup with clean water for at least 5 minutes.
g. Please use clean medical gauze to dry after rinsing.
h. Please store the device in a clean and dry storage environment.
Note:
The waterproof classification of main unit is IP22, it cannot be washed. Prevent water from entering unit.
Following the cleaning instructions after each use will prevent any remaining medication in the bottle from drying, adhering to the mesh cap, and resulting in the device not nebulizing effectively.

7.2 Disinfection
After cleaning, the components — medication cover, medication cup, and mask or mouthpiece — should be disinfected as the instruction below:
a. Lift open the medication cover and pour a small amount of 2% hydrogen peroxide solution into the medication cup.
b. Turn on the device to nebulize the 2% hydrogen peroxide solution for 1 to 2 minutes.
c. Please soak the components listed in solution of 2% hydrogen peroxide for 10 minutes at 68℉ (20℃);
d. Please rinse with distilled water for at least 5 minutes.
e. Please dry with clean medical gauze gently.
f. Please assemble the device.
g. Please store the device in a clean and dry storage environment.
Note:
Please don’t use the disinfectant of benzalkonium bromide or house bleach.
Never use Sodium hypochlorite, Hypochlorous acid or quaternary ammonium compound to disinfect.

Storage Conditions

The device should be stored indoors. The environment temperature should be +14℉ to +122℉ (-10℃ to +50℃), non-corrosive gas, good ventilation, avoid high temperature, humidity and direct sunlight.
Keep the device out of the reach of unsupervised infants and children. The device may contain small parts that can be swallowed.
Prevent pets and pests from damaging equipment.
Dry the parts immediately after washing. Store the device and the components in the environment that meets the requirements, be careful to avoid collisions.
Direct sunlight, lint, dust may cause vibrating mesh rusted and oxidized and decrease nebulization rate.

Trouble Shooting

Item Trouble Possible cause/solution
1 Does not work when turned on Check if there is enough power; Check if

there is enough medication;
Check if the button is functioning well.
2| Nebulization rate is too low| Check if the medication cup has been filled with right medication, which should be water-soluble, non-corrosive medication;
Check if the medication cup has been filled to the correct volume;
Tilt main unit, so that the medication is in contact with the vibrating mesh;
The vibrating mesh may be blocked, you can drop 2 or 3 drops of white vinegar into the medication cup with 3-6ml water, then clean with distilled water. Clean the medication cup to avoid disinfection for next use;
The vibrating mesh may be rusted or oxidized and need to be replaced;
The electrode contact pin may be rusted or oxidized.
3| Unsure which medication to use| Please refer to a physician’s advice. Viscous medication is not allowed.
---|---|---
4| Pediatric use| Please choose kid’s mask to cover mouth and nose for better treatment effects. Kids are forbidden to use the nebulizer alone.

EMC Information
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the IEC60601-1-2 standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.
Medical devices manufactured by Sunset Healthcare Solutions (Sunset) conform to this IEC60601-1-2 standard for both immunity and emissions.

Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:

  1. NOTE The EMISSIONS characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in a residential environment (for which CISPR 11 class B is normally required).
  2. WARNING: The use of accessories and cables other than those specified by Sunset, with the exception of cables sold by Sunset as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emission or decreased immunity of the device.
  3. WARNING: The medical devices should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. In case adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the medical device should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
  4. WARNING: PORTABLE RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30cm (12 inches) to any part of [ME QUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM], including cables specified by the MANUFACTURER. Otherwise,degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
  5. WARNING: Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices(such as MRI,diathermy,electrocautery,RFID and electromagnetic security systems) which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe situation. ecommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7m. Verify correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.

Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

  • Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating this device.
  • Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
