Green Lion GL-MN15 Portable Nebulizer

Product Overview

Thank you for choosing our small nebulizer. Please read this manual carefully to ensure safe and effective use. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Scope of Use: For evaporating medications for therapeutic use.

Target Audience: Suitable for adults and children.

This nebulizer works using rapid circuit oscillation, which causes resonance in the piezoelectric ceramic transducer. This vibrates the fine mesh network, allowing the medication to pass through tiny pores, forming mist particles. These particles are directed to the patient's respiratory system via a face mask or mouthpiece for inhalation therapy.

The vaporized medication is absorbed through the mucous membranes and tissues of the oral cavity, throat, trachea, bronchi, and alveoli, ensuring the desired therapeutic effect.

Product Components

The nebulizer consists of the following components:

• Main Unit
• Medicine Cup
• Mouthpiece
• Adult Mask
• Child Mask
• USB Cable
• User Manual

Diagram Description: A diagram illustrates the main unit with labels pointing to the Medicine Cup, Power Button, and USB Type-C Charging Port, and Mist Outlet.

Technical Specifications

The average mass median particle size of the nebulizer was measured at 25°C and 46% humidity, using a 0.9% sodium chloride solution as a test solution. The figure below shows the particle size distribution curve measured under these conditions.

Diagram Description: A graph showing particle size distribution, with particle diameter on the x-axis (ranging from 0.1 to 100 micrometers) and cumulative distribution percentage on the y-axis (ranging from 0% to 100%).

Installation Instructions

1. Remove all packaging materials and set them aside. Take out the main unit and accessories.
2. Attach the assembled medicine cup to the main unit. You should hear a clear "click" when it is correctly installed.
3. Attach accessories as shown in the medicine cup installation diagram.
4. To add medication, invert the medicine cup, insert the cup opening into the main unit, and turn to secure it.
5. Power Source Setup: This product does not come with a power adapter. Please use a reliable manufacturer's adapter that meets requirements IEC 60601-1 or GB/T 2010-2009. The power adapter specifications must comply with a 5.0V DC, 1A output.

Note: This device uses a rechargeable lithium battery, which is not replaceable and has a lifespan of 5 years.

5. Connect one end of the USB data cable to the USB charging port and the other end to a USB power source to charge the lithium battery. Once the battery reaches operating voltage, the device will function normally.

Note: Before charging, ensure the power plug is connected. Do not charge the device with other electronic devices simultaneously.

6. Charging the Battery: When the battery charge level is low, use the power adapter (5V DC, 1A) to charge the lithium battery. Charging takes approximately 40 minutes. During charging, if the battery is not fully charged, the blue light will flash. After charging is complete, the blue light will remain solid.

Note: The lithium battery is pre-installed; do not attempt to disassemble or replace it yourself. The device cannot be used while charging.

Additional Notes

• Before using the device for the first time, ensure it is charged for at least 30 minutes.
• If the mist rate significantly decreases or stops, recharge the device immediately.
• The fully charged lithium battery provides up to 60 minutes of continuous operation.
• If the device is not used for more than a month, recharge the battery at least once a month during storage.
• When taking the device out of storage at approximately 20°C (whether from a higher or lower storage temperature), let it rest for 5 minutes before use.

Warning: Dispose of used batteries according to local environmental regulations. Do not dispose of them with household waste to avoid environmental pollution. Never attempt to disassemble or repair the device or its components. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself.

Usage Instructions

1. Press the power button once to turn on the device and start the inhalation process.
2. Before starting, gently shake the device horizontally to ensure the medication fully contacts the mesh.
3. Inhale the medication slowly and deeply for optimal absorption.
4. After completing the inhalation, press the power button again to turn off the device. Dispose of any remaining medication from the cup. Do not reuse leftover liquid.
5. Rinse the medicine cup, lid, and accessories with tap water, then disinfect them according to the recommended guidelines.

Notes:

• Ensure the medication fully contacts the mesh during inhalation. Gently shaking the device is sufficient, but avoid tilting the device backward during use.
• Always follow your doctor's treatment instructions and maintain a calm, comfortable posture during the session for effective results.
• Over time, medication may accumulate around the mesh, potentially affecting mist performance. In such cases, turn off the device, remove accessories, and gently wipe away residue with a sterile gauze. Avoid touching the central mesh area to prevent potential damage.

Cleaning and Disinfection

To maintain optimal performance and hygiene, it is essential to clean and disinfect the medicine cup assembly (including the mist outlet and cup lid) and accessories after each use. Follow the recommended cleaning and disinfection procedures:

1. Product Cleaning

1. Component Disassembly: Carefully detach the medicine cup assembly, including the mist outlet, cup lid, and accessories, from the main unit. Soak them in clean tap water at a temperature not exceeding 40°C for approximately 5 minutes to remove any residual medication.
2. Drying Parts: After cleaning, use clean, sterile gauze to remove excess water. Allow all parts to air dry completely.
3. Cleaning the Main Unit: Wipe the exterior surface of the main unit. If there is any medication residue on the electrode contacts, use clean, sterile gauze dampened with water (and wrung out) to gently clean the area. Then, allow the main unit to air dry completely.
4. Storage: Store the device and its components in a clean, dry place to prevent contamination.

Notes:

• Do not wash the main unit directly to prevent water from entering the device.
• Ensure the main unit and its components are completely dry using clean, sterile gauze before storing.
• The inhalation mask and mouthpiece are intended for use by one person only to prevent cross-contamination. Refer to the "Cleaning and Disinfection" section for instructions.
• Always dispose of any leftover medication after use. Failure to do so may clog the nebulizer mesh, affecting its performance.

2. Product Disinfection

To maintain a high level of hygiene and safety, the medicine cup assembly (including the mist outlet and cup lid) and accessories must be disinfected after each use. The following disinfection methods are recommended:

1. Chemical Disinfection (Recommended for medical institutions): Soak the medicine cup assembly (including the mist outlet, cup lid) and accessories in a solution of Benzalkonium Bromide (a new disinfectant) or 3% Hydrogen Peroxide for 10 minutes for effective disinfection. Alternatively, you can wipe the components with the disinfectant.
2. After disinfection, rinse thoroughly with tap water and dry with clean, sterile gauze, or allow the parts to air dry. Note: Follow the instructions for Benzalkonium Bromide and Hydrogen Peroxide. Do not soak components for extended periods. Avoid using strong oxidizers like perchlorates or disinfectants that may damage metals, polymers, or plastics.
3. Ethanol Disinfection: Soak the medicine cup assembly (including the mist outlet, cup lid) and accessories in 75% medical-grade ethanol for 5-10 minutes for disinfection. You can also disinfect them by wiping with ethanol.
4. After disinfection, rinse thoroughly with tap water and dry with clean, sterile gauze, or allow the parts to air dry. Notes:
• Wipe any disinfectant residue from the components using sterile gauze before storage to ensure safe use.
• When rinsing or wiping the mist outlet, avoid touching the central mesh area to prevent damage and maintain the nebulizer's function.
