1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the
AirMed 1000 Compressor Nebuliser
. It is a
compact medical device designed to efficiently deliver physician prescribed
medication to the bronchial lung passages. With the correct care and use, it
will provide you with many years of reliable treatment.
This product is developed for the successful treatment of asthma, allergies
and other respiratory disorders. It creates a stream of air that travels through
a clear tube to the nebuliser. When air enters the nebuliser, it will convert the
prescribed medication into aerosol mist for easy inhalation.
Your Compressor Nebuliser should be used under the supervision of a licensed
physician and/or a respiratory therapist. We encourage you to thoroughly read
this handbook to learn about the features of this product. Any use of this
product other than its intended use should always be avoided.

12. EMC Declaration
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PCs and mobiles,
medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from
these devices. Which may result in incorrect operation of the medical device
and create a potentially unsafe situation. Medical devices should also not
interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC with the aim to prevent unsafe
product situations, the EN60601-1-2 standard has been implemented. This
standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well
as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.
Medical devices manufactured by Clement Clarke International Ltd conform to
this EN60601-1-2 standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
•
The use of accessories and cables other than those specified by
Clement Clarke Int. Ltd, with the exception of cables sold by Clement Clarke
International Ltd. as replacement parts for internal components, may result in
increased emission or decreased immunity of the device.
•
The medical devices should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is unavoidable, the medical device
should be seen to operate normally as it should in this situation.
Further guidance regarding the EMC environment (in accordance with
EN60601-1-2) in which the device should be used is available at
