Monaghan AeroEclipse II - Breath Actuated Nebulizer (BAN) Manual

Device Overview

Instructions for Use

1. Ensure mouthpiece is inserted into side opening of the nebulizer with the exhalation valve facing down. Inspect the tubing for fray, wear or loose particulate, and ensure nothing is blocking the air supply pathway of the nebulizer
2. Prior to use, inhale and exhale through the nebulizer mouthpiece to verify the movement of the green feedback button located on top of the device.
3. Unscrew and remove top of nebulizer. Place prescribed medication into nebulizer cup (maximum cup volume 6 mL). Reattach top and gently hand tighten.
4. Attach one end of the supplied tubing to the fitting in the bottom of the nebulizer and the other end to the flowmeter or compressor. Ensure both ends are securely engaged.
5. Set the flowmeter to 7 to 8 litres per minute (Lpm) with an air source capable of delivering 50 PSI (344.7 kPa).
6. Place mouthpiece in mouth, and inhale slowly and deeply. As you inhale, the green feedback 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 feedback 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.
7. Continue to inhale from the nebulizer until nebulizer begins to sputter, or as instructed by your physician or qualified healthcare worker.

The AEROECLIPSE* II BAN can be operated in Continuous Mode by rotating the mode selector 90 degrees clockwise to the continuous mode position (). The nebulizer can be returned to the Breath Actuated Mode by rotating the mode selector 90 degrees counterclockwise to the breath actuated position ().

Cleaning Instructions

The mode switch should be rotated to the breath actuated position (green button is up, mode switch has rotated counterclockwise). Remove the supply tubing from the bottom of the nebulizer and unscrew and remove the nebulizer top.
Between treatments with the same patient, the nebulizer may be processed according to any of the methods listed below.

1. Sterile Water: Thoroughly rinse the disassembled parts in sterile water and shake to remove excess water.
2. Isopropyl Alcohol: Wipe the outside surfaces with a tissue dipped in 70% Isopropyl Alcohol then submerge all parts in a soak of 70% isopropyl alcohol for 1 minute before shaking to remove any excess alcohol.
3. Air Dry: Disassemble the device and shake out any excess drug.
4. Hand Washing: Wash nebulizer parts in a warm water/ liquid dish detergent solution and rinse in clean warm water.

For all methods, reconnect the bottom of the nebulizer to the compressed medical gas supply to clear the orifice. Always allow the parts to air dry thoroughly before reassembling.
