It’s that time of year again.
Has your nebuliser had its annual service? Some units need need to be serviced in order to provide you with an efficient therapy. You can call us on 01942 701210 or the manufacturer if you are not sure.
Have you changed the filters on your nebuliser. Your instruction manual will provide a guideline about how often this is required, common sense tells you that the more you nebulise the more frequently they will need to be changed.
If your unit has a rechargeable battery, discharge it and then recharge as per the instructions and remember never to store it unless it is fully charged.
And probably the most important thing to remember is to check your Spares and Accessories. Medication chambers, Air tubes, Drive lines, Masks and Mouthpieces are a vital part of any nebuliser and need to be cleaned, cared for and changed regularly. You can stock up by clicking HERE
We have had several calls recently from customers who have been using the same medication chambers for over two years. Although this adds up to value for money it can cause problems with repeated cross infection and after such a long time they are more than likely to stop functioning efficiently.
