A NOTE ON TREATMENT TIME
Please note that many factors affect treatment time,
such as a patient’s age, condition, breathing pattern, and
medication. The Vios
™
was designed for intermittent use
to deliver respiratory medications, not continuous use
for humidifi cation or prolonged treatments (for example,
over 35 minutes at one time). It is possible with prolonged
treatments that the tubing may get warm and disconnect
from the Vios
™
air outlet. If your physician prescribed
consecutive (back to back) treatments, resulting in the
use of your Vios
™
for longer than 35 minutes at a time,
please contact PARI Patient Connection at 1.800.FAST.NEB
(327.8632).
