General Safety Precautions:

• Inspect the device and parts before using them each time, and check that there are

no problems. In particular, be sure to check the following:

-That the nozzle or air tube are not damaged.

-That the nozzle is not blocked.

-That the compressor operates normally.

• When using this device, there will be some noise and vibration caused by the pump in

the compressor. There will also be some noise caused by the emission of compressed

air from the nebulizer kit. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

• Operate the device only as intended. Do not use the device for any other purpose.

• Do not use the device at temperatures greater than +40°C.

• Make sure that the air tube is securely attached to the compressor and nebulizer kit,

and does not come loose. Twist the air tube plug slightly when inserting it into the air

tube connectors to avoid the air tube disconnecting during use.

• To completely isolate the device from the power source unplug the plug from the

power source.

Keep these instructions for future reference.

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)

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 EN60601-1-2:2007 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.

This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms to this

EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions.

Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:

• Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, 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.

Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify correct operation of

the device in case the distance is shorter.

Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at OMRON

HEALTHCARE EUROPE at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.

Overview

OMRON COMP AIR Pro Compressor Nebulizer Model NE-C900

OMRON COMP AIR Pro Compressor Nebulizer Model NE-C900

The OMRON COMP AIR Pro Compressor Nebulizer Model NE-C900 is a medical device designed for inhaling medication for respiratory disorders such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergies, and other respiratory conditions.

This product is not suitable for unconscious patients or those not breathing spontaneously. It can be used in medical facilities (hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices) and in general household environments.

Function Description

The NE-C900 operates by pumping medication through a medication channel where it mixes with compressed air generated by a compressor pump. This compressed air, mixed with medication, is then turned into fine particles and sprayed upon contact with a baffle, creating an aerosol for inhalation. The device is designed to deliver medication effectively to the respiratory system.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: Parts should be cleaned after each use to prevent residual medication, inefficient nebulization, or infection.

Washable parts (Nebulizer Kit, Masks, Mouthpiece, Nosepiece): Wash in warm water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly with clean hot tap water, and air dry in a clean place.
Non-washable parts (Compressor, Air Tube): Ensure the power plug is unplugged. Wipe clean with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent.
Air Filter: Do not wash or clean the air filter. If it becomes wet, replace it, as damp filters can cause blockages.

Disinfecting: Disinfect parts after the last treatment of the day, or more frequently if heavily stained or if multiple users share the device. Replace heavily stained parts with new ones.

Methods:
- Commercial Disinfectants: Use commercially available disinfectants (e.g., Alcohol, Disinfecting ethanol, Sodium hypochlorite, Quaternary ammonium, Chlorhexidine, Amphoteric Surfactant). Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Never clean with benzene, thinner, or flammable chemicals.
- Boiling: Parts may be boiled for 15 to 20 minutes. After boiling, carefully remove, shake off excess water, and air dry in a clean environment. Ensure the container does not boil dry to prevent fire.
Avoid: Microwave ovens, dish dryers, hair dryers, autoclaves, EOG gas sterilizers, or low-temperature plasma sterilizers for drying or sterilization.

Removing Condensation from the Air Tube: If moisture or liquid remains in the air tube:

Ensure the air tube is connected to the compressor's air connector.
Remove the air tube from the nebulizer kit.
Turn on the compressor to pump air through the air tube and expel moisture.

Changing the Air Filter: Replace the air filter if it has been used for more than 60 days.

Pull the air filter cover off the compressor.
Remove the old air filter with a sharp object and insert the new air filter.
