CAUTION
• To avoid damage to the nebulizer unit, DO NOT
use a syringe with needle.
• The maximum capacity of the nebulizer unit is
6ml.
• Use only medication approved for nebulization
during mechanical ventilation. If you use medi-
cation with inappropriate viscosity or inappro-
priate physical properties this can alter the
performance of the ventilator system and lead
to frequent alarms.
NOTE:
Medication can also be added in this manner during
nebulization. This does not interrupt nebulization or
ventilation.
1. Open the plug on the nebulizer unit.
2. Use a pre-filled ampoule or syringe to add medication into
the filler port of the nebulizer.
3. Close the plug.
