INTRODUCTION Be sure to read these instructions fully before use. Thank you for purchasing the Aeroneb® Go Nebulizer. Certain conditions such as asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and cystic fibrosis require that prescribed liquid medication be turned into a fine mist, called an aerosol, and then inhaled into the lungs. The Aeroneb® Go turns liquid medication into an aerosol, which you can then inhale through a mouthpiece or an aerosol mask into your lungs.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When you use electrical products, always follow basic safety precautions. As with any electrical device take particular care around children. READ ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR NEBULIZER WARNING: If this product is being used to treat a life threatening condition, a backup device is necessary. 2 • As with any electronic device, this product may become unusable due to an electrical outage, battery depletion, or mechanical failure.
WARNINGS CONTINUED: • Do not use components or attachments that are not recommended by Aerogen. Refer to the Replacement Parts and Accessories section in this manual (page 20). • Never operate this product if any of the parts are not working properly or have been damaged. • Do not use the Aeroneb® Go Nebulizer in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
WARNINGS CONTINUED: 4 • Do not nebulize alcohol-based drugs in an oxygen-rich/ high pressure environment. • In event of loss of mains power, remove the AC/DC cable from the control module and operate with batteries (refer to page 9). • Never clean your Nebulizer Unit with solvents, chemicals, alcohol or abrasive cleaners. • Do not use brushes, sharp tools or abrasive cloths that could scratch or damage the surfaces. • Do not clean parts in a dishwasher.
WARRANTY The Aeroneb® Go Control Module and AC/DC Adapter are warranted for a period of two years from the date of purchase against defects in manufacturing. The Aeroneb® Go nebulizer unit is warranted for one year from date of purchase against defects in manufacturing. All warranties are based on typical usage. The life of the Aeroneb® Go nebulizer unit has been validated for use for 100 disinfecting treatments (boiling or baby bottle steam steriliser).
CLASSIFICATIONS AND MARKINGS The symbols that appear on the Aeroneb® Go Nebulizer and its accessories are described in the table below: Symbol Meaning Attention, consult accompanying documents Class II equipment per IEC/EN 60601-1 Type BF equipment per IEC/EN 60601-1.
AERONEB® GO SYSTEM PARTS: Medication Cup Cap Mouthpiece Cable Nebulizer body Base Control Module AC/DC Adapter* Mask Adapters * Available with complete Aeroneb® Go System UNIT ASSEMBLY AND USAGE NOTE: Clean all parts of your Aeroneb® Go Nebulizer (described on page 11) before first use, after each use, or after extended storage. PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY: Check all parts for visible damage. Replace any damaged parts before you use the Aeroneb® Go.
ASSEMBLY/FUNCTIONAL TEST 1. 2. 8 Connect the Medication Cup to the Nebulizer Body by lining up the notches on the medication cup and nebulizer body. NOTE: Ensure the Aeroneb Go handset is not connected to the controller when adding medication to the medication cup. Insert the nebulizer cable into the back of the nebulizer unit. 3. Add Aeroneb® Go base to the bottom of the handset. 4. Fill the Medication Cup with the prescribed nebulizer medication. Never pour more than 6 mL into the cup.
HOW TO OPERATE THE AERONEB® GO NEBULIZER 1. Turn the Aeroneb® Go Control Module upside down. Slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow to remove the lid. Put in three (3) “AA” batteries (not included). Replace the cover on the Control Module and slide the cover until it locks in place. You can expect at least three (3) hours of operation from a new set of disposable batteries, (up to five (5) hours from high performance batteries). 2.
PAGE 10 10 5. Alternatively, you can power the device by using the AC/DC Adapter if provided (refer page 7). Plug the AC/DC adapter into a standard AC electrical outlet, a green light on the adapter indicates that the AC/DC adapter is turned on. 6. Plug the AC/DC cable into the Control Module, indicated by the DC Voltage Symbol ( ). NOTE: The AC/DC adapter does not charge batteries. 7.
CLEANING AND STORING YOUR AERONEB® GO AFTER EVERY USE: Disconnect the control module before you take the nebulizer apart to rinse it. 1. Rinse the Nebulizer Unit (Medication Cup, Nebulizer Body, Base and Mouthpiece or Mask Adapter) under running hot tap water after every use. 2. Shake off excess water, and allow parts to fully air dry on a clean, dry towel, out of the reach of children. 3. Make certain that all cleaned parts are completely dry before you store or use them.
OPTIONAL DISINFECTION: If you would like to disinfect your Aeroneb® Go Nebulizer, you may choose one of the following two options; Boiling or Vinegar Solution. 1. BOILING: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. Rinse the Nebulizer Unit (Medication Cup, Nebulizer Body, Base and Mouthpiece or Mask Adapter) under running hot tap water after every use. Shake off excess water, and allow parts to fully air dry on a clean, dry towel, out of the reach of children.
OPTIONAL DISINFECTION 2. VINEGAR SOLUTION: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. Rinse the Nebulizer Unit (Medication Cup, Nebulizer Body, Base and Mouthpiece or Mask Adapter) under running hot tap water after every use. Shake off excess water, and allow parts to fully air dry on a clean, dry towel, out of the reach of children. Fill a container with a mixture of three (3) parts hot water to one (1) part white distilled vinegar.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If you have difficulty operating your Aeroneb® Go, check the following points: Problem Check Remedy No visible aerosol when using batteries Check that the batteries are inserted correctly. Using the markings under each battery location, place each battery in the Control Module housing. Match (+) and (-). Check to see if the low battery power light is flashing. Replace the batteries or use the AC/DC Adapter.
Problem No visible aerosol when power source is functioning Check Remedy Check that the AC/DC Adapter is not faulty. Try to operate the Control Module by using batteries instead of the AC/DC Adapter. If the Control Module functions properly with batteries but not with the AC/DC adapter, replace the AC/DC Adapter. Check that there is medication in the Medication Cup. Fill the Medication Cup with prescribed medication. Check that the nebulizer has been properly cleaned. Clean the Aeroneb® Go.
WARNINGS: • Only use the Aeroneb® Go nebulizer with components specified in the Instructions for Use. Use of the Aeroneb® Go nebulizer with components other than those specified in the Instructions for Use may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Aeroneb® Go nebulizer system. • Do not use the Aeroneb® Go adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the device should be observed to verify normal operation in this configuration.
