How to Use Monaghan Aeroeclipse II Nebulizer?
- Insert the mouthpiece into the side opening of the nebulizer with the exhalation valve facing down. Inspect the tubing for the fray, wear or lose particulate, and ensure nothing is blocking the air supply pathway of the nebulizer
- Prior to using, inhale and exhale through the nebulizer mouthpiece to verify the movement of the green feedback button located on top of the device
- Unscrew and remove the top of the nebulizer. Place the prescribed medication into a nebulizer cup (maximum cup volume 6 ml). Reattach the top and gently hand tighten
- If using a flowmeter: Set the flowmeter to 7–8 liters per minute (lpm). Attach one end of the supplied tubing to the fitting in the bottom of the nebulizer and the other end to the flowmeter. Ensure both ends are securely engaged
- If using a compressor: Ensure the compressor is capable of delivering a minimum of 15 to 50 P.S.I. and a flow of 2.75 to 8 lpm. Attach one end of the supplied tubing to the fitting in the bottom of the nebulizer and the other end to the compressor. Ensure both ends are securely engaged. Turn on compressor
- Place the mouthpiece in the mouth, and inhale slowly and deeply. As you inhale, the green button on top of the nebulizer will move into the fully down position, indicating that the AeroEclipse® II BAN is producing aerosol in response to inhalation. Exhale normally. A valve on the mouthpiece opens allowing passive exhalation, as the green button returns to the up position indicating no aerosol is being produced. Do not place the lips over the exhalation valve on the bottom of the mouthpiece. Doing so will prevent the valve from functioning properly
- Continue to inhale from the nebulizer until the nebulizer begins to sputter, or as instructed by your physician or qualified healthcare worker
Note:
If you are unable to trigger the device (hold the green button down during inhalation), it can be manually operated by depressing/releasing the feedback button in coordination with inspiration/expiration
