Keep this Instruction Manual always at  
hand for your future reference.  
This unit is a medical instrument. Be sure to follow the instructions of a doctor and use the unit correctly.  
For the type, dose, and regimen of medication, be sure to follow the instructions of a doctor.  
This unit is not appropriate to use as a household inhalator for humidifying the mucous membranes of throat and nose.  
The nebulization characteristics of this unit differ by the properties of medication. Especially with the use of a medication  
having high surface activity or viscosity such as medication solubilizing agent or expectorant, the nebulization rate may be  
reduced. The nebulization rate may also be reduced when the temperature of medication is low.  
This unit cannot nebulize distilled water.  
The electromagnetic compatibility of this unit conforms to the Medical  
Electric Instrument EMC Standard IEC60601-1-2 (1993 version).  
The illustrations in this Instruction Manual are image drawings.

How to Insert Batteries  
Batteries are not supplied. Use two commercially available AA alkaline batteries. You can also use  
nickel-hydrogen batteries (rechargeable batteries). If you use a commercially available battery charger,  
you can save cost by recharging the batteries repeatedly.  
(2)  
1 Remove the Battery Cover.  
Bottom of the  
Main Unit  
(1) Slightly rotate the Battery Cover  
Disengage Lever in the direction of  
the arrow, and  
(1)  
(2) Remove the Battery Cover.  
- The Battery Cover may not be removed easily when the  
batteries are not inserted.  
2 Insert batteries correctly by  
aligning the polarities (+ and -)  
with the battery indication mark.  
3 Put on the Battery Cover.  
Put the Battery Cover on the Battery Case,  
and push it in until it catches the claws and  
clicks. Push both ends firmly.  
- You may find it difficult to push in because the unit is  
made to prevent water dropping inside the unit.  
Battery life and battery replacement  
I When using alkaline batteries  
I When using nickel-hydrogen batteries  
The unit can be used for approximately 8 days  
(if it is used for 30 minutes a day).  
The unit can be used for approximately 8 days  
(if it is used for 30 minutes a day with the  
batteries fully charged.  
When the Battery Low Indicator (orange)  
flashes, batteries will be worn out soon.  
Replace both batteries with new ones.  
When the Battery Low Indicator (orange)  
flashes, the rechargeable batteries have little  
residual power. As the unit does not nebulize,  
immediately recharge the batteries with a  
commercially available charger.  
When the Battery Low Indicator  
(orange) turns on, batteries are  
worn out. As the unit will not  
nebulize, immediately replace  
both batteries with new ones.  
- The optional AC Adapter does not function  
as a battery charger. Use a commercially  
available battery charger suitable for the  
batteries you are using.  
- You may use manganese  
batteries. However,  
manganese batteries tend to  
have a shorter life.  
General advice  
- Immediately replace the worn batteries with new ones.  
- If you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time (3 months or more), remove the batteries or  
rechargeable batteries. If you leave the unit without using while keeping the batteries or rechargeable  
batteries in it, the batteries may leak and cause trouble to the unit.  
- Do not use the batteries other than the ones specified for the unit. Do not use worn and new batteries  
together or different types of batteries together.  
- Do not insert batteries with the polarities (+ and -) in the wrong direction.

How to Select the Nebulization Mode  
You can select the nebulization mode by the way how you push the Button.  
Continuous Nebulization Mode  
If you push the Button and immediately  
lift your finger away from the Button  
(within approximately 1 second), the unit  
nebulizes in Continuous Nebulization  
Mode.  
Push the Button and  
immediately lift your  
finger (within  
approximately 1  
second).  
If you push the Button again, the unit  
stops nebulization.  
Manual Nebulization Mode  
If you keep pressing the Button  
(approximately for 2 seconds or more), the  
unit nebulizes in Manual Nebulization  
Mode.  
Keep on pressing  
(for approximately  
2 seconds or more).  
The unit nebulizes only while you keep on  
pressing the Button and stops nebulization  
when you lift your finger from the Button.  
You can inhale in tandem with respiration.  
- The Power Indicator (green) turns on during nebulization.

How to Inhale  
1 Hold the Main Unit with  
your hand and start  
inhalation in relaxed  
posture.  
Slightly slant the Main unit (the  
side of Button) towards yourself.  
Medication  
Immerse the Vibrator in the  
medication. If the Vibrator is not  
immersed such as when the Main  
Unit is placed on a horizontal  
surface, the unit may not nebulize.  
Vibrator  
- If medication or slobber collects on the Mesh, the unit stops nebulization. After  
removing the Mask Adapter, Inhalation Mask, or Mouthpiece, turn off the power  
once and absorb the medication or slobber with new gauze.  
(If a medication has high surface activity, it may exude from Mesh holes or the  
Bottle Cap, or the medication may leak from the Air Port.)  
Air Port  
Do not poke the Mesh or the Vibrator  
with a cotton swab or a pin.  
The Mesh will be damaged and  
cannot be used.  
Absorb the  
medication  
or slobber.  
- If the medication has high surface activity or viscosity such as medication  
solubilizing agent or expectorant, the nebulization rate may be reduced.  
- If you push the Button and starts the unit while the Vibrator is not immersed in  
the medication,  
(1) The Battery life may be shortened or the Battery Low Indicator may turn on.  
- Slant the Main Unit and check if the Vibrator is immersed in the medication,  
then push the Button and start inhalation.  
- Use the unit by immersing the Vibrator of the Inhalation Port in the medication.  
- Immediately after the medication is nebulized, turn off the power.  
(2) A metallic sound may be generated, but it is not a trouble.  
2 When you finish inhalation, push the Button to turn  
off the power.  
- When the optional AC Adapter is used, unplug the power plug from  
the electric outlet. (Refer to Page 10.)

How to Clean the Unit after Inhalation  
Be sure to clean and store the unit after inhalation.  
If you do not clean the unit after inhalation, medication will be dried and  
adhered, and will not nebulize normally the next time. If this happens, clean the  
Mesh Cap by boiling to wash off the adhered medication. (Refer to Page 16.)  
1 Remove the parts from the Main Unit.  
Remove Inhalation Mask or Mouthpiece, Mask Adapter, and  
Medication Bottle from the Main Unit.  
(Refer to Page 9.)  
2 Discard the remaining medication.  
After removing the Mesh Cap, open the Medication Bottle

the brim.  
3 Wash the parts sufficiently in water.  
Wash Inhalation Mask or Mouthpiece, Mask Adapter,  
Medication Bottle, and Mesh Cap in water.  
- Carefully wash the Mesh when using a medication  
having high surface activity or viscosity such as  
medication solubilizing agent or expectorant because  
the medication is often left on the Mesh.  
- Please be careful not to spray water on the Main Unit.
