1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1.1 Intended purpose
The PARI SINUS2 nebuliser system consists of a PARI SINUS2 compressor and a PARI LC SPRINT SINUS nebuliser. The system is used for treatment of the upper airways. The nebuliser system must only be used by individuals who understand the contents of the instructions for use and are able to operate the nebuliser system safely. Individuals in the following groups must be supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety: ­ Children ­ Individuals with limited capabilities (e.g., physical, mental,
sensory) If the patient is not able to operate the nebuliser system safely himself, the therapy must be carried out by the responsible person.
Compressor The purpose of the PARI compressor is to generate compressed air for operating a PARI nebuliser. The PARI compressor is intended for use with multiple patients. It must only be used for PARI nebulisers. The compressor can be operated by the patient himself and must only be used indoors.
Nebuliser The PARI LC SPRINT SINUS nebuliser generates aerosols1 for respiratory therapy. For reasons of hygiene, this PARI product must only be used in a home environment by a single patient. It is designed to treat patients from age 6 up to adult. Only solutions and suspensions that are approved for use in nebuliser therapy may be used.
1) Aerosol: Small particles of solid, liquid or mixed composition (fine "mist") suspended in gases or air.

­ 8 ­
An application takes between 5 and 10 minutes (depending on the quantity of fluid), but in no case more than 20 minutes. The frequency and duration of use will be determined by the physician or therapist according to the individual needs of the patient.
1.2 Indication
Diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses.
1.3 Contraindications
This product is only designed for patients who are able to breathe by themselves and are conscious. Following surgery or where inflammation of the middle ear is present, a risk/benefit assessment for vibrating aerosols must be carried out by the doctor before the start of treatment.
1.4 Safety instructions
The present instructions for use contain important information, safety instructions and precautionary measures. The user must follow these in order to guarantee safe operation of this PARI product. This PARI product must only be used as described in these instructions for use. The instructions for use of the inhalation solution used must also be followed.
General
Nebuliser aerosol characteristics differ from the information provided by the manufacturer if non-approved solutions or suspensions are used for nebulisation.

2) Professional medical staff: Doctors, pharmacists and physiotherapists.

­ 9 ­
Danger of electrocution
The compressor is an electrical device that is powered by supply voltage. It has been designed so that no live parts are accessible. However, if ambient conditions are unfavourable or if the compressor or power cord is damaged, this protection may no longer be provided. It may then be possible to come into contact with live parts. This in turn may lead to an electric shock. To avoid this danger, follow the instructions below:
­ Make sure that the compressor housing, the power cord and the power plug are undamaged every time before use. The compressor must not be operated
­ if the housing, the power cord or the power plug is damaged,
­ if a fault is suspected following a fall or similar.
­ Never leave the compressor unattended while it is in use.
­ Plug the compressor into an easily accessible socket. It should be possible to unplug the power plug at all times.
­ Switch the compressor off and disconnect the power plug from the mains socket immediately:
­ if it is suspected that the compressor or the power cord might have been damaged (e.g., after the compressor has fallen or if there is a smell of burning plastic)
­ if a malfunction occurs during operation
­ before cleaning and maintaining the device
­ immediately after use
­ Keep the power cord away from domestic animals (e.g., rodents). They may damage the insulation on the power cord.
Hazard due to small parts which can be swallowed
The product contains small parts. Small parts can block the airways and lead to a choking hazard. Keep all components of the product out of the reach of babies and infants at all times.

­ 10 ­
Danger of a device defect
Comply with the following instructions to avoid a device defect: ­ Make sure that the local supply voltage matches the voltage
data marked on the compressor identification label. ­ To avoid overheating of the compressor,
­ Never operate the compressor while it is in a bag, ­ Never cover the compressor while it is operating, ­ Make sure that the ventilation slits on the compressor are
unobstructed at all times while it is operating. ­ Always pull the power cord by the power plug, not the cable,
to disconnect it from the socket. ­ Make sure that the power cord is never kinked, pinched or
jammed. Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges. ­ Keep the compressor and the power cord away from hot
surfaces (e.g., stove top, electric fire, open fire). Direct heat may damage the compressor housing or the insulation on the power cord.
Impairment of treatment due to electromagnetic interference
Use only original spare parts and original accessories from PARI. The use of third party products can result in increased emissions of electromagnetic interference or reduced resistance of the PARI compressor.
Hygiene
Observe the following hygiene instructions: ­ Do not use product components unless they have been
thoroughly cleaned and dried. Contamination and residual moisture encourage the growth of bacteria, which increases the risk of infection. ­ Before every use and cleaning, wash your hands thoroughly. ­ It is essential to clean and dry all product components before the first application as well.

­ 11 ­
­ Always use drinking water for cleaning and disinfecting. ­ Dry all product components completely after each cleaning
and disinfection. ­ Do not keep the product components in a damp environ-
ment or together with damp objects.
Treatment of children and anyone who requires assistance
For individuals who are not able to perform the therapy session without assistance or cannot appreciate the hazards, the risk of injury is greater (e.g., strangulation with the power cord or a tube). Such individuals include for example babies, children and people with limited capabilities. For these individuals, a person responsible for safety must supervise or carry out the application.
Identifying and classifying warning instructions
Safety-critical warnings are categorised according to the following hazard levels in these instructions for use:
DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which will lead to severe injuries or death if it is not avoided.
WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which can lead to severe injuries or death if it is not avoided.
CAUTION CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which can lead to mild or moderate injuries if it is not avoided.
NOTE NOTE indicates a situation which can lead to material damage if it is not avoided.

3 APPLICATION
People who assist others in carrying out the therapy must ensure that all of the steps described below are carried out correctly.
3.1 Setting up the compressor
The room in which the compressor is operated must satisfy certain requirements [see: During operation, page 34]. Furthermore, please note the following warnings before setting the compressor up:
WARNING
Risk of fire due to a short circuit A short circuit in the compressor can cause a fire. In order to reduce the risk of fire in such an event, follow the instructions below: · Do not operate the compressor close to readily flammable
objects such as curtains, tablecloths, or paper. · Do not operate the compressor in areas where there is a
risk of explosion or in the presence of oxidising gases (e.g., oxygen, nitrous oxide, flammable anaesthetics).
CAUTION
Quality of treatment impaired by electromagnetic interference Electrical devices can cause electromagnetic interference. Interference can impair the function of the devices and thus also the effectiveness of the treatment. · Do not place the PARI device immediately beside or on
top of other devices. · Keep at a minimum distance of 30 cm from portable wire-
less communication devices (including accessories therefor, such as antenna cables or external antennas). · If the PARI device has to be placed immediately beside or on top of other devices for operation, all devices must be monitored to ensure that they are working properly.

­ 17 ­
CAUTION Danger of injury from falling compressor A compressor placed in a poor position poses a risk of injury. · Do not place the compressor above head height. · Make sure that the compressor cannot be pulled down by
the power cord or the connection tubes. · Do not place the compressor on a soft surface such as a
sofa, a bed or a tablecloth.
NOTE Danger of device fault caused by dust If the compressor is operated in a very dusty atmosphere, more dust may collect inside the housing. This may cause a fault in the device. · Do not operate the compressor on the floor, under the bed
or in workshops. · Only operate the compressor in a low-dust environment.
Set the compressor up as follows: · Place the compressor on a firm, flat, dust-free, dry surface. · Plug the power plug into a suitable socket.
CAUTION! Route the power cord in such a way that it is not a tripping hazard and no one can become entangled in it. Poorly routed cable connections pose a risk of injury.

­ 18 ­
3.2 Preparing for treatment
Assembling the nebuliser
CAUTION Risk of impaired treatment Damaged components and/or an incorrectly assembled nebuliser may impair functioning of the nebuliser and thus treatment as well. · Check all nebuliser components and the accessories be-
fore each use. · Replace any broken, misshapen or seriously discoloured
parts. · Follow the assembly instructions in these instructions for
use.
· Press the nozzle insert lightly onto the nozzle in the nebuliser lower part. The arrow on the nozzle insert must point upwards.
· Place the nebuliser upper part on the nebuliser lower part and turn it clockwise to lock the two parts together.
· Connect the nasal joining piece to the bend and then connect both to the nebuliser.

­ 19 ­
· Insert one tubing connector on the PARI SINUS tubing system in the bottom of the nebuliser.
Filling the nebuliser
NOTE Nebuliser lid might break off If the lid is twisted in the wrong direction, it may break off. The nebuliser will then be unusable and irreparable. · Never move the lid except in the direction allowed by the
hinge. · Insert the nebuliser in the holder on the compressor in-
tended for this purpose. · Open the nebuliser lid by pressing your thumb against the
underside of the lid. · Pour the required quantity of
inhalation solution into the top of the nebuliser. Note the minimum and maximum fill volumes [see: General nebuliser data, page 35]. If the nebuliser contains too little or too much liquid, the nebulisation and consequently the therapy will be less effective.
· Close the nebuliser lid. Make sure that the lid snaps into place.

­ 20 ­
If several inhalation solutions are to be used one after the other: · Rinse the nebuliser out with drinking water between the indi-
vidual applications. · Shake excess water out of the nebuliser. · Fill the nebuliser with the next inhalation solution as
described.
Connecting the tubes
The PARI SINUS tubing system consists of two identical tubes. One tube is needed for the compressed air supply, the other helps to generate the vibration. To connect the tubing system up fully, proceed as follows: · Insert the corresponding con-
nector of the unconnected tube in the vibration adapter. · Insert the adapter in the nebuliser upper section.
· Insert the free tubing connectors in the corresponding connectors on the compressor. Info: The tubing connectors can be inserted more easily if they are twisted slightly when inserting.

­ 21 ­
3.3 Performing treatment
All of the safety instructions in these instructions for use must have been read and understood before any treatment is carried out.
Always hold the nebuliser upright during treatment.
General instructions for use
To ensure that the treatment has the desired effect, please follow the instructions below: ­ In order for the aerosol to reach all regions of the nose and
paranasal sinuses, the nose must be clear. If your nose is blocked, rinse it beforehand using a nasal douche for example. If necessary, use a product designed to reduce swelling. ­ The aerosol that is generated during nebulisation should only be delivered to the nose and paranasal sinuses. Therefore, the soft palate4 ­ the natural partition between the nasal cavity and the mouth and throat ­ must be closed.
Tips for closing the soft palate
To close your soft palate, say the three letters "ing" as one word for as long as possible. After a short breathing pause, repeat this as often as necessary until the treatment is complete.
When you make certain sound combinations such as "ing" and when you swallow, the "soft palate" closes and separates the nasal cavity from the mouth and throat automatically.
Alternatively, you can breathe in and out slowly and deliberately through your mouth, as if attempting to blow a candle out (i.e. do not breathe through your nose). However, this method of closing the soft palate is not easy to perform for everybody, and some practice may be required.
4) The soft palate is the extension of the hard palate.

­ 22 ­
While the soft palate is closed and you are holding your breath, the aerosol flows into the paranasal sinuses. Your nostrils will vibrate a little.
Caution: If the soft palate is not closed properly, some of the aerosol will end up in your mouth and throat. One sign of this is that the nostrils do not vibrate. In this case, it is possible that not enough saline solution or medication is reaching the paranasal sinuses.
Procedure
DANGER
Life-threatening situation due to mixing up tubes If tubing systems that belong to other devices are close by (e.g., for infusions), there is a possible danger of mixing up different connection tubes. · Make quite sure that the other ends of the tubes connec-
ted to the compressor are attached to the PARI nebuliser.
Proceed as follows in order to carry out the treatment: · Take the nebuliser out of its
holder and hold it upright. · Verify that all parts are firmly
connected to each other.

­ 23 ­
· Switch the compressor on.
DANGER! Danger of death by electrocution in the case of device fault! Switch the compressor off and disconnect the power plug from the mains socket immediately if a fault is suspected (e.g., following a fall or if there is a smell of burning plastic). If there is a fault in the device, it may be possible to come into contact with live parts. This in turn may lead to an electric shock.
· Check that an aerosol is being generated before you begin the treatment.
· Sit in an upright position and relax.
· Constrict one nostril. To do this, either press one finger lightly against the side of the nose or use the nasal plug supplied.
Make sure that the nostril is not completely blocked (e.g. by pressing closed with a finger) because this might create a feeling of too much pressure. The nasal plug has a small aperture. This aperture reduces the feeling of pressure.
· Press the nasal joining piece of the nebuliser against the free nostril so that the nostril is closed tightly.
· Close your soft palate [see: Tips for closing the soft palate, page 21].
The aerosol is automatically delivered to the paranasal sinuses. Therefore, you should hold your breath during the treatment. In order to breathe, pause the treatment briefly.

­ 24 ­
After about 2.5 minutes, carry out the treatment as described for a further 2.5 minutes on the other nostril. The treatment is complete after 5 minutes in all.
Some residual fluid will remain in the nebuliser after the end of the treatment.
Reducing feeling of pressure
If you feel an uncomfortable level of pressure while carrying out the therapy, reduce the pressure: ­ reduce the pressure on your free nostril and/or ­ enlarge the hole in the nasal plug. To enlarge the hole, proceed as follows:
The larger the hole, the less the feeling of pressure. Proceed carefully to avoid making the hole too large and reducing the pressure too much. You must be able to feel the vibration all the time during the therapy.
· Push out the inside of the nasal plug and cut off the tip at the edge indicated using a pair of scissors.
· Push the inside of the nasal plug back in.
3.4 Ending the treatment
To end the treatment, proceed as follows: · Switch the compressor off. · Place the nebuliser back in the holder on the compressor. · Disconnect the power plug from the mains socket.
Complete disconnection from the mains is only certain when the power plug has been unplugged from the socket.

­ 25 ­

4 REPROCESSING

DANGER
Danger of electrocution Liquids can conduct electricity, thereby posing a risk of electric shock. · Always switch the compressor off and disconnect the
power plug from the mains socket before starting to clean it.

Electrical medical equipment is subject to special precautionary measures with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Such equipment must only be installed and operated in accordance with EMC instructions.
Portable and mobile high-frequency communication devices can disrupt electrical medical equipment. Using accessories, converters and power cords other than those specified (with the exception of converters and power cords that the manufacturer of the medical electrical device sells as spare parts for internal components) can result in higher emission levels or lower the resistance to interference of the device.
The device must not be placed directly beside or on top of other devices for operation. If the medical electrical device must be placed beside or on top of other devices to operate it, it must be monitored constantly to ensure that it is operating properly in the arrangement used.
Technical data on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC information) is available in table format upon request from the manufacturer or dealer or on the internet at the following linked page:
