Microlife NEB 50 - Manual (Page 8)

2. Preparation and usage of the device
Prior to using the device for the first time, we recommend cleaning it as per the
instructions in this manual.
Please refer to the foldout page with the figures on the correct usage of the device at
the beginning of the manual. Do not use the device if you think it is damaged or notice
anything unusual.
1. Assemble the nebuliser as shown in the figures. Ensure that all parts are complete.
2. Fill the nebuliser with the inhalation solution as per your doctor’s instructions.
Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum level.
3. Connect the nebuliser to the device using the air hose and then plug the device
into the electricity supply (230V~ / 50Hz).
4. Now switch on the device (I) and place the mouthpiece in the mouth or fit the
mask. Make sure mist is visible, coming from the mouthpiece/mask.
If possible use the mouthpiece as this gives a better drug delivery to the lungs.
However, you may prefer to use the facemask and you will find two sizes are
supplied to suit different size faces. The mask should completely enclose the
mouth and nose areas. Take the mouthpiece between your teeth, surround it with
your lips and breathe in and out slowly through your mouth or place the mask in
position over nose and mouth and breathe slowly in and out through your mouth.
5. During the therapy, breathe in and out calmly. Sit in a relaxed position with the
upper part of the body upright. Stop inhalation if you feel unwell.
6. After completion of the inhalation period recommended by your doctor, please
switch off the device (0) and unplug it from the electricity supply. Disconnect
the tubing and clean the nebulizer using the instructions listed on the Cleaning
instruction section of the Instructions for use.
7. Empty the remaining medication from the nebuliser and clean the device as per
the instructions in this manual.
3. Cleaning
1. Disconnect the nebulizer from the tubing. Unscrew the top from the medicine
cup, rinse out the nebulizer and refill with clean water. Reassemble the top and
medicine cup, reconnect the tubing and run the nebulizer again for a few seconds
to flush out any drug trapped in the nebulizer jets.
2. Take apart the nebulizer.
