Do-it-yourself OMRON inhaler repair

In detail: DIY repair of the OMRON inhaler from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

The use of inhalers is currently one of the main methods of therapy for many respiratory diseases. That is why these devices, due to long-term operation, often fail. This requires the replacement of certain parts of such devices. Inhaler repair should be carried out using quality spare parts and an understanding of the entire internal structure. This is due to the fact that only in this case it is possible to achieve that the nebulizer functions correctly, providing the proper therapeutic effect during treatment.

Repair of inhalers is required in certain cases, among which the most common are:

The proper amount of the drug does not enter the human body.
Failure of the toggle switch or some buttons. This applies to both their sinking and lack of response to manipulation with them.
The switched on device refuses to supply a finely dispersed drug substance to the human body.
The device does not turn on and does not function in any way. This problem is the most serious, as it indicates a significant and serious breakdown.

Repair of the inhaler is also required in cases where certain parts and elements of it fail. Among them, first of all, it is worth highlighting filters, compressors, cameras, masks, bumpers, etc. If you correctly identify the cause of the breakdown, as well as select the appropriate components, you can resume the functionality of the nebulizer without any problems.

If there is a guarantee, as well as the possibility of contacting a specialized service center, it is not recommended to carry out repairs with an inhaler with your own hands. Self-repair can lead to:

to the complete loss of the guarantee, which was given by the manufacturer for a certain period of correct operation of the device.
serious damage to the device, which will require serious financial resources in the future.
complete loss of device functionality and the possibility of its renewal in one way or another.

Among the main problems that arise with nebulizers, masters first of all distinguish the following:

interrupting the cord through which the device is connected to the network;
clogging of filters with particles of the drugs used;
contamination of certain elements due to the use of insufficiently dissolved drugs;
short circuit in the power supply circuit of the device;
compressor wear due to excessive use of the device;
malfunction of the processor or other electronics.

The list of the above problems is not definitive.

The advantages of self-repairing an inhalation apparatus with your own hands are the cheapness of this process. This can be justified only in cases where the device needs to replace certain component parts. Moreover, the less a person disassembles the device, the safer such manipulation will be for the device.

You can replace with your own hands such elements as a spray bottle, mask, air tube, nasal and mouthpiece, filters for cleaning the solution, a bump stop, a camera and some others. All this does not require significant intervention in the design of the apparatus.

If professional cleaning or analysis of the processor's electrical circuit is required, it is best to entrust this work to professionals. It is impossible to independently solve such problems without appropriate knowledge.

Thus, we can conclude that self-repair is possible only when the problem of breakdown is obvious and there is no need to carry out significant manipulations with the device.

Repair of inhalers under the warranty period can be made within 1 year after purchasing these devices. This period directly depends on the manufacturer - some companies for certain models may provide a shorter or longer warranty for their operation.

Warranty repair of the nebulizer can be obtained only at a specialized service center recommended by the manufacturer of the device. All conditions concerning this must be indicated in the instructions for use of the device. First of all, you should pay attention to cases that cannot be guaranteed. For example, deliberate or unintentional damage to the device, which was not the fault of the manufacturer, cannot be paid for by him.

Repair of inhalers under warranty can only be performed if the corresponding warranty card is filled in correctly. That is why, when buying, it is worth paying attention to, as well as the presence of instructions, the complete completeness and operability of the device.

A nebulizer, or inhaler, is an indispensable device in a home medicine cabinet if there is a child or an adult in the family who suffers from bronchial asthma or is prone to respiratory diseases. One of the leading manufacturers of nebulizers is the Japanese company Omron, which supplies high-quality medical devices to the world market. However, even the highest quality inhaler, like any high-tech device, can break down. What to do if the inhaler stops performing its main task - no steam comes out of the nebulizer?

The principle of operation of the inhaler is quite simple: it sprays the medicine placed in a reservoir in liquid form into steam, which goes into the mask. As soon as the device stops converting the drug into vapor, it becomes completely useless. It is not always possible to contact the service center, and the malfunction must be eliminated here and now. What needs to be done to find out why the device is working, but steam from the Omron inhaler is not coming?

Check the instructions to see if too much liquid has been added. If the required level of the drug is exceeded, steam will not go out, even if none of the components of the device is broken.
Disconnect the air hose and turn on the appliance. Is the compressor running and there is air coming out of the corresponding connector? This means that the device itself is in good working order. If not, then there is only one way - to the service center.
Connect the air hose and press your finger to the air outlet. Feel the pressure of the outgoing air? Yes, it means the pipe is in order. Otherwise, inspect the hose - it should be free of cracks through which steam can flow. Also carefully inspect if the hose is firmly seated on the nozzles, and if there are cracks in these parts.
If everything is in order with the tube, inspect the spray chamber. The second most frequent reason why steam is not coming out is damage or loss of the diffuser. The diffuser is a small cap inside the spray chamber, due to which the fine fraction is formed. If this small but important part is lost, you will have to contact the service center to get a new one.

Compressor inhaler Omron NE-C20 we bought 7 months ago. Then our child had a terrible cough, and our doctor advised us to buy this contraption. According to her, the inhaler will allow us to solve the problem with our tracheitis much faster and more reliably. No sooner said than done. I went to the nearest pharmacy and for three thousand rubles with a penny bought this wonderful nebulizer - this is also the name of these devices. I didn’t even know a word like that before. Unfortunately, the first experience of using the inhaler in our case can be considered unsuccessful. Our three-year-old flatly refused to wear a mask. Neither persuasion nor promises of gifts helped, the device was removed “until better times”. Now autumn has come - the time for colds. Now the baby has become older and we managed to convince him to sit in a mask “like a baby elephant”. So now I am ready to share my observations and conclusions with those who are looking for a way to quickly defeat a cold.

In general, I heard about inhalers as a child. I remember that our teacher of the Russian language and literature, who periodically lost her voice, trying to make us "at least some kind of people", went to the local clinic, where her strained throat was restored with inhalations. By the way, I have a very curious episode connected with this teacher, which I described in an article about “living sand”. If interested, read at your leisure.

Today you can do without the services of a polyclinic. Inhalers are available at any major pharmacy.

Steam appliances, which are practically not on sale anymore, stand a little apart. There is a lot of trouble with them, although in some cases they also have a right to exist. By the way, as a child, did you breathe over potatoes? If so, you have used the simplest steam inhaler 🙂

Basically, there are two types of devices on sale now: compression and ultrasonic. Each type has its advantages and minutes.

Ultrasonic inhalers work almost silently. This is important enough when using them to treat children, or if you need to carry out the procedure in a room where other children are sleeping. Ultrasound inhalers are more compact, so you can take them with you on trips. The disadvantage of such devices is the constant purchase of consumables, such as cups for medicines and gel, if required for the procedure. Consumables are inexpensive, but you need to constantly bribe them, otherwise they will run out at the most inopportune moment.

Another important point: unfortunately, not all drugs that can be sprayed with a compressor nebulizer are suitable for ultrasound. For example, you cannot use an ultrasonic machine to spray antibiotics and dioxins.

By the way, the principle of splitting liquid water into microdroplets using ultrasound is used in another device.Have you seen decorative fountains with a large bowl filled with mist? This is roughly from the same opera:

Compressor inhalers more versatile. They can be used to spray almost all liquid medicines except those containing oils or suspended particles. However, these liquids cannot be sprayed with an ultrasonic device.

Compressor nebulizers are generally less portable, heavier and more noisy. But they do not need to buy any consumables except for the drugs themselves and they have a longer service life.

Nebulizers are also subdivided into portable, which can be carried with you and which can be powered by a battery, and stationary, which are used in clinics, but you can buy such a device for home.

There are special children's compressor inhalers in the form of little trains, ladybugs or penguins.

In a word, devices are different, but they have the same task - to turn a liquid medicine into a light mist with a certain drop size and deliver it to the patient's nose or mouth. The therapeutic effect is achieved when microdroplets of the drug settle on the surfaces of the nasopharynx and trachea.

Special attention should be paid to the size of a microdroplet of liquid medicine that a particular model can provide. The optimal droplet size is considered to be 2-5 microns. Smaller particles "fly" directly into the alveoli of the lungs, where they are quickly absorbed or exhaled back. Larger droplets do not reach their destination due to their gravity.

In order not to guess on the coffee grounds and choose the inhaler correctly it is worth consulting with your doctor.

In our case, an apparatus with a droplet size of exactly 2 to 5 microns was recommended. As a result of a trip to the nearest pharmacy, a compressor inhaler Ormon NE-C20 was purchased. Further, a review will be presented specifically about this device.

In principle, there is nothing unusual there. The box itself is pleasant in appearance, it has many different designations, pictures and words of praise for the device. I especially like the bright red badge, which can be confusing for non-English speakers. The badge reads: Technology And Quality JAPAN. Moreover, the last word is written especially in large size. Gullible buyers are glad that they have “grabbed” a real Japanese device. In fact, this badge says: Japanese technology and quality. That is, the device was developed in Japan (maybe), but where do you think it was made? That's right - in China 🙂

Inside the box is the device itself with an AC adapter, two masks - for children and adults, a reservoir for medicines, which is assembled from several separate parts, a flexible tube connecting the device to the reservoir, a mouthpiece, a nosepiece, a set of spare air filters.

Importantly, the set includes a cloth bag that will allow you to store nebulizer parts not just in bulk in the bottom drawer of a bookcase or chest of drawers, but in perfect order, when all the parts are collected together and nothing is lying around, and, therefore, will not be lost.

Let's take a look at all the details of the nebulizer:

The rules for assembling, operating and caring for the device are indicated in the instructions, reprinting which here is a thankless task 🙂

To be very brief and highlight the most important thing, then:

Of particular note is the fact that the nebulizer kit must be replaced once a year. True, the instructions do not say what intensity of use of the device leads to such a need. After all, it's one thing to use an inhaler almost every day, and another - just a couple of weeks a year. Alas, the instruction is silent about this, so you will have to be guided by a purely intuitive method of determining the moment when you need to buy a new camera.

In addition, the air filter should be changed from time to time, which is inserted into the body of the device itself and prevents dust and other small particles from entering the nebulizer chamber.

It is very easy to get and check the filter. It is necessary to pull the blue plug on the case. It is not attached to the thread, but simply inserted:

The instructions say that you need to change the filter after 60 days of operation. Probably, this is precisely the active operation, so most likely it is worth pulling out the filter from time to time and just inspecting it. If it has changed color or if there are clear signs of contamination, replace it. Fortunately, there are five spare filters in the kit, and I think you can buy additional filters at pharmacies.

Before answering this question, I would like to say that our family members do not get sick so often. Colds or viruses visit us once or twice a year. In principle, even in the absence of a nebulizer, we coped well with them and this could have continued if our attending pediatrician had not recommended us buy inhaler... According to the doctor, with its help, you can quickly deliver the medicine exactly where you need it, and not swallow antibiotics, spoiling the microflora of the stomach and causing other harm to the body.

In addition, certain types of medicines can soothe coughs, affect the nasal mucosa, etc.

All these arguments seemed convincing to us, and now I am stomping into the nearest pharmacy, clutching my hard earned ones in my fist :). I don’t know about you, but for some families, unforeseen expenses of 3,000 rubles (and sometimes more) can be very burdensome. Indeed, in every family there are situations when money seems to be there, but there are times when they are running out of money. Therefore, if you want to buy a nebulizer, it is better to do so in advance, finding a place where it is sold at the most pleasant price, and at the moment when there is some free money. It's great to have an emergency reserve of them, but that's a topic for a separate article.

Keep in mind that according to the law of dirty tricks, the device will have to be bought exactly at a “disastrous” moment from a financial point of view, and urgently - in the nearest pharmacy at the most unfavorable price. In this case, the proverb “Prepare your sleigh in the summer, and the inhaler is healthy and wealthy” is very appropriate.

It is very important that the purchased device can really be used, and not have to be put on the shelf, as happened in our family. The kid, after much persuasion, agreed to put on a mask on his face, but when the inhaler hummed and drove the air with vapors of drugs, the child was frightened and raised a terrible cry. Neither persuasion nor promises of gifts helped. Therefore, with great regret, we had to abandon the use of the inhaler for the treatment of the then tracheitis.

However, now that the baby has grown up, and only seven months have passed, he takes inhalation procedures quite normally. It almost became a game for him. It is especially good that at this time you can watch cartoons or your own shooting with him in the lead role.

In response to the question whether inhalation has a positive effect, I can answer from my own experience, since right now we are sick with the whole family and I also use the device.

The doctor prescribed us 8 procedures a day with the alternation of the following fluids: saline, borjomi without gas (do not drink, namely breathe :), aminocaproic acid and miramistin. Naturally, the doses of each medicine are indicated for our particular case, so I do not indicate them here. If you want to buy and use your own compression inhaler, you should consult your doctor for maximum effect.

It has been two days since the start of the application. The term is short, but it seems to me that there is definitely a positive effect. Of course, it is difficult to write about him unambiguously. After all, it is not known what would have happened if I had been treated with the usual means under the same conditions.

But the fact that I do not have nasal congestion and not such a dry barking cough as usual can be said for sure.The child also tolerates the disease more easily, does not scandal, does not be capricious, more or less sleep at night more or less tolerably. I am afraid to make an unambiguous statement, but earlier, before using the inhaler, he was ill much more severely - with fever, hoarseness, loss of voice and a constant flow from the nose.

Now everything is going much easier. Perhaps this is really the merit of the device.

On my own I can say one thing. This time I decided to take advantage of my illness, no matter how paradoxical it sounds. No other medicine, only inhalation. The doctor, in principle, did not object to such an experiment, only ordered to monitor the state of health and if anything.

For the purity of the experiment, one should not yet go outside, but this does not work. We all "fell ill" at the same time, and someone has to go to the store for "goodies".

Now comes the third day. I think that in a couple of days I will be able to continue this article and draw more global conclusions about the role of a compression inhaler in the treatment of colds.
