Hygienic processing at hospitals and medical practices

The use of inhalation devices and nebulisers in hospitals and medical practices is subject to stricter hygiene regulations than when used at home.

Ensure that only device- and product-specific procedures are used for hygienic processing- and product-specific procedures, and that the validated parameters are maintained during each cycle. The equipment used must be maintained regularly. Follow the schedules defined below:

Single patient use

• Clean the nebuliser and the accessories used immediately after each use.
• Disinfect the nebuliser and accessories used at least once a day.

Before each change in patient

Clean, disinfect and sterilise the nebuliser and the accessories used. Replace the connection tube because this cannot be processed for re-use by multiple patients.

It is particularly important to observe the following sequence for the preparation:

1. Cleaning
2. Disinfection
3. Sterilisation

This is the only way to ensure that the high level of hygiene safety demanded by the guidelines and standards can be met.

Further details about using the PARI devices in hospitals can be found in the specific instructions for use.
