2. Introduction 2.1 Intended Use
The Salter AIRE Elite Compressor System is intended to provide a source of compressed air for aerosol therapy. It is used in conjunction with a jet (pneumatic) nebulizer to produce medicated aerosols for inhalation by pediatric and adult patients with respiratory symptoms. CAUTION Indications for therapy include asthma, chronic bronchitis, infection of the upper respiratory tract, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory disorders in accordance with a medical doctor’s prescription. Except the usage mentioned above, please do not use this product for any other purpose. This device can be used with adults or pediatric patients under physician’s prescription.
2.2 Safety Precaution Instruction
When using this electrical product, especially when children are present, one should always follow basic safety precautions. Do not install, maintain or operate this equipment without reading, understanding and following the proper Salter AIRE Elite Compressor System instruction manual, otherwise injury or damage may result. For 120V only- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

4. Operation NOTE Before initial operation, the nebulizer cup assembly should be cleaned following instructions described in the “Cleaning” section. WARNING Before connecting the power cord, make sure the I/O
(ON/OFF) switch is in the O (OFF) position. The plug is also served to disconnect the device. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the disconnecting device.
4.1 Daily Use Operation
CAUTION The Salter AIRE Elite Compressor System is designed for intermittent use only. Do not operate it continuously for more than 30 minutes for a single use without turning it off and following a cooling period for least 30 minutes. 1. Before each use inspect the Salter AIRE Elite Compressor and nebulizer cup assembly for damage or wear, replace as needed. 2. Place the Salter AIRE Elite Compressor on a table or other flat stable surface. Be sure you can easily reach the controls when seated. Do not use this device on the floor. 3. With the power switch in the O (OFF) position, plug the power cord into an appropriate electrical wall outlet. 4. Connect one end of the tubing to the compressor air-outlet connector. 5. Assemble the nebulizer cup and add indicated medication to the nebulizer’s cup before use. 6. Attach the other end of the tubing into the air-inlet connector founded at the bottom of the nebulizer cup. 7. Turn on the Salter AIRE Elite Compressor by pressing the power switch to the I (ON) position and begin treatment. 8. If treatment needs to be interrupted, simply press power switch to O (OFF) position. 9. When the treatment is complete, turn off the compressor by pressing the power switch to O (OFF) position and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. This device has no AP or APG protection. CAUTION During the treatment, the patient should not touch the outer case due to expected rise in unit temperature.
4.2 Safety Overload
NOTE Do not exceed 30 minutes of continuous operation. 1. The motor of this device has a built-in thermal overload protector. Should the motor overheat, the protector will automatically shut off the motor. Should this occur, turn the I/O (ON/OFF) switch to the O (OFF) position and allow the motor to cool down for approximately 30 minutes before turn it on again. 2. If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently, you may have an unstable voltage situation. 3. If the unit shuts down and cannot restart, it may need to be replaced. Call your provider immediately.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer. Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).b Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey c, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency ranged. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. a/ The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz;13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz. b/ The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges. c/ Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the device. d/ Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
