The mesh cap is a consumable part.
Omron recommends to exchange the mesh cap after approximately 1 year.
Remove the mesh cap and install a new one as described on page 11 (section “How to assemble the
unit and fill the medication container”).
Additional instructions for Mesh care
In case the performance of the unit remains reduced even after cleaning and disinfecting, use the
following methods to remove dried medication, lime or saliva which may clog the tiny holes in the mesh
cap.
Leave the mesh cap in a white vinegar solution (1 part vinegar diluted with 3 parts of water) for ½
- 1 hour. In addition, the mesh cap may be kept overnight in a cup of distilled water, in which a tablet
of dental (“false teeth”) cleaner has been added. After cleaning with vinegar or dental cleaner, be sure
to shake off excessive solution, thoroughly but carefully rinse the mesh with distilled water. Shake off
excessive water from the mesh cap and let it air-dry on a clean, lint free (paper) towel.
In case the unit nebulises poorly even after following this procedure, replace the mesh cap.
