OMRON NE-C28 Compressor Nebulizer

Apparatus Introduction

The OMRON NE-C28 Compressor Nebulizer is a medical device designed for efficient respiratory therapy. Key components of the main unit include:

• Power Button: To turn the device on and off.
• Air Filter Cover: Protects the air filter.
• Air Tube Connector: Where the air tube attaches to the compressor.
• Ventilation: Openings for air circulation.
• Power Cord: Connects the device to an electrical outlet.

The Nebulizer Kit (NEBKIT) is the part that converts liquid medication into a breathable aerosol. It consists of:

• Cap: Covers the nebulizer cup.
• Inhalation Inlet: Connects to the air tube.
• Inhalation Top: Part of the nebulizer cup assembly.
• Vaporiser Head: The component where nebulization occurs.
• Medicine Cup (Tanki Obat): Holds the liquid medication (capacity 2-7 ml).
• Nozzle: Directs the aerosol.
• Air Tube Connector: Connects to the air tube.
• Mouthpiece: For direct inhalation.
• Adult Mask: For inhalation via the face.
• Child Mask: A smaller mask for children.

Preparing the Nebulizer

1. Connect the power cord to an electrical outlet. Ensure the device is in the OFF position.
2. Remove the cap and inhalation top from the medicine cup.
3. Remove the vaporiser head from the medicine cup.
4. Add medication to the medicine cup (capacity 2-7 ml).
5. Reinsert the vaporiser head into the medicine cup.
6. Reattach the inhalation top to the medicine cup. Align the parts as shown and turn clockwise until it clicks.
7. Attach the cap and either the mask, mouthpiece, or nosepiece to the nebulizer kit. If using an adult mask, the nebulizer kit cap is optional, but recommended if a large amount of aerosol is desired.
8. Connect the air tube. Slightly twist the end of the air tube and connect it to the air tube connector on the compressor.

Performing Inhalation

1. Hold the nebulizer kit as illustrated. Do not tilt the nebulizer kit more than 45 degrees, as medication may spill or the device may not function correctly. ?
2. Turn on the device. When the compressor starts, nebulization begins, producing aerosol. Inhale the medication mist.
3. After completion, turn off the device.

Maintenance and Storage

Clean the nebulizer parts after each use. Ensure the device is OFF and disconnected from the power outlet.

• Nebulizer kit, masks, mouthpiece, and nosepiece can be washed with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry. The nebulizer kit should be replaced every 6 months of use.
• Clean the compressor and air tube with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild detergent.
• Ensure the device is sterilized after use. If heavily soiled, replace the unit.
• Use disinfectant, then wash with warm water and dry. Do not use benzene, thinner, or flammable chemicals.
• The main unit parts (excluding air tube, PVC mask, air filter, and air filter cover) can be boiled for 15-20 minutes.
• The vaporiser head must be cleaned after every use. Do not use brushes or needles for cleaning.

Removing Condensation from Air Tube

1. Ensure the air tube is connected to the air tube connector on the compressor.
2. Disconnect the nebulizer kit from the air tube.
3. Turn on the compressor and run the air through the air tube to remove condensation/residual water.

Replacing Air Filter

If the air filter has changed color or has been used for more than 60 days, replace it with a new one.

1. Pull off the air filter cover from the compressor.
2. Use a pointed object, such as a toothpick, to remove the old filter and insert the new air filter. Reattach the filter cover to the main unit.

Notes

• Use only OMRON filters.
• Do not wash the filter. If it gets wet, replace it with a new one.
• The air filter has no specific front or back orientation.
• Periodically clean the filter cover. Do not boil it.
