Read these warnings and cautions before using your InnoSpire Mini
Warnings and cautions It is recommended to have a backup device (e.g. MDI) for respiratory delivery in case a situation arises when your nebulizer cannot be used (e.g. during a power outage or if your compressor and/or battery becomes inoperable for any reason).

DANGER – To reduce the risk of electrocution:

  • Always unplug this compressor immediately after using.
  • Do not place or store product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
  • Do not place in or drop into water or other liquid.
  • Do not reach for product that has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.

Electromagnetic information: Portable and RF communication devices such as cellular phones, pagers, etc. can interrupt operation of electrical medical equipment. For this reason, your compressor must be placed far enough away from these devices to prevent interference. This device meets the IEC60601-1-2 Standard for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). EMC data sheets are available upon request from Philips Respironics Customer Service at 1-800-345-6443 or 1-724-387-4000. The CE mark on the product denotes compliance with all applicable EU Directives.

How to use your InnoSpire Mini

  1. Check the nebulizer and compressor for damage. Read the nebulizer instructions prior to use.
  2. Place your InnoSpire Mini compressor on a firm, flat surface near an electrical outlet (if using AC power) and where you can be seated comfortably during your treatment. Do not hold the compressor in hand during treatment.
  3. To use the compressor with the AC power adapter, connect the AC power adapter into the power plug-in on the back of the compressor. Then connect the other end into the electrical outlet.
  4. Alternatively the unit can be used with the rechargeable battery pack or 12V DC (car) adapter. Read the section relating to the rechargeable battery pack carefully. Use only with 12V vehicle electrical system.
  5. Do not operate the unit without the filter or with a clogged (dirty) or wet filter. Operating the unit with a dirty filter can impair proper operation and cause damage that is not covered by the warranty.
  6. Wash your hands before beginning your treatment.
  7. Assemble your nebulizer and add your prescribed medicine following your prescription and the separate nebulizer instructions.
  8. Connect one end of the tubing to the bottom of the nebulizer and the other end of the tubing to the air outlet on the compressor.
  9. Turn the power on/off switch to begin your treatment. A green light appears indicating that the unit is on.
  10. When your treatment is complete, turn the power on/off switch and unplug the unit if using AC power or 12V DC (car) adapter.
  11. Clean the nebulizer according to its instructions.

Care and cleaning of your InnoSpire Mini

CAUTION: To reduce risk of electric shock, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE and never submerge or place under running water.

  1. Unplug the compressor before cleaning.
  2. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the outside of the compressor as required. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  3.  Check the filter periodically and replace the filter when dirty.
  4. To change the filter:
    • Use a coin to unscrew the filter holder (Note: Turn clockwise to unscrew).
    • Screw filter holder back on by turning counter clockwise.
  5. After each cleaning, check that the unit is working properly by verifying that air still comes out of the nozzle when the unit is turned to the “on” position and that the unit’s noise level has not increased. (Increased noise indicates improper filter positioning.)
  6. The compressor is oil-free. Do not lubricate.

Troubleshooting

Problems Solutions
Compressor overheats. The compressor has an internal thermal protector to prevent the device from overheating. If the internal temperature reaches the preset level, the unit will automatically shut down, and the ON/OFF button light will turn red. The thermal protector has been activated due to:

a.  The device operating outside the conditions outlined in this manual.

b.  The device has been operating near heat sources or in hot environments. Allow the compressor to cool down for a minimum of 40 minutes. Wait until the red light turns off before turning the compressor on again.

The compressor does not operate. Check all power sources to the compressor. Push the ON/OFF button again.
Medication does not nebulize properly. Check for proper connection of the tubing adapter. Make sure the nebulizer is not empty. Clean the nebulizer as described in the manual. Replace the nebulizer. Check the intake filter and replace it if it is dirty.
The device is noisy. Check that the filter cover is correctly positioned.
The compressor does not operate when connected to battery. Make sure battery contacts cover is removed Check the assembly of the battery pack to compressor Compressor is disabled when battery is charging. Remove charger from battery to operate the compressor. Ensure battery pack has adequate charge. Recharge battery. Short circuit protection may have been activated. This fault condition can be re-set by charging the battery pack.

Should the device still not operate properly after checking the unit as indicated above, contact  Philips Respironics Customer Service at 1-800-345-6443 or 1-724-387-4000.
