Microbial Contamination
The jet nebuliser bowl and its accessories are for single person use only. If used by other persons cross
infection may occur.
Interactions
The materials used that come into contact with medications have been tested with a wide range of
medications in common use such as ambroxol hydrochloride, ipratropium bromide, bromhexine
hydrochloride, beclomethasone diproprionate, acetylcysteine and salbutamol. However, due to the
variety and continuous evolution of the medications, the possibility of a chemical interaction cannot be
excluded. Once opened, the medication should be used as soon as possible and prolonged contact
between medication and nebuliser should be avoided.
Disposal
To safeguard the environment, when the appliance has reached the end of its useful life take it
to an authorised electric appliance disposal centre where the raw materials can be recycled.
Please check to see if this is applicable in your area.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the Econ-O-Mist ® Forte fails to operate on 230 volt power:
• Check the electric socket with another appliance or try another electric socket
• Check power cable for damage
• The Econ-O-Mist
® Forte is fitted with a non-replaceable thermal fuse to protect the user if motor over
heating should occur
• If still not operational return for service
If the jet nebuliser bowl is misting poorly or is taking too long to nebulise your medication:
• Replace your jet nebuliser bowl every 6 months if it is used regularly.
• Check that the centre jet (8b) is in place.
• Check that the hole in the jet (8b) is not blocked with dry medication. Soak the jet nebuliser bowl (8)
in water and try again. Do not tamper with the holes, as this will alter the particle size of your medication.
• Switch pump on and off to ensure air is flowing from the air outlet port (4)
• Check inlet filter (3) for blockage and change if the filter is discoloured
• Check the tubing for leaks, cracks or kinking
• If moisture collects inside air tubing when nebulising medication, disconnect jet nebuliser bowl on
completion, operate pump to pass air through the tube until dry
• Once a year take your nebuliser system to your pharmacy to be checked
CAUTION: Do not dismantle the Econ-O-Mist ® Forte under any circumstances as this may void your
warranty. Refer servicing to authorised service centre. The Econ-O-Mist ® Forte has an oil free compressor
and requires no servicing. Do not oil.
