After Every Use: Clean and Disinfect
The MistPro manual says to clean and disinfect the device after each use, and to dry it right after cleaning. If it isn’t cleaned, dried medicine can build up on the mesh and weaken the mist. Do not hold the device under tap water, because water can get inside it.Step 1: Take It Apart
- Remove the medication cup and the mask from the device body
- Open the cup lid and pour out any leftover medicine
Step 2: Disinfect the Medication Cup
Add 75% ethanol (alcohol) solution to the medication cup, close the lid, and leave it for at least 10 minutes. You can shake it gently.Step 3: Rinse Well
Pour out the ethanol. Rinse the medication cup with clean water several times. Rinse off all of the disinfectant: the manual warns that leftover disinfectant can make symptoms worse.Step 4: Run Clean Water Through the Mesh
Fill the medication cup with clean water, attach it to the device body, and run the device for 10 minutes to clean the mesh. Don’t breathe in the mist while it runs: the manual says not to inhale water.Step 5: Dry Right Away
Wipe away the water with new medical gauze and let the medication cup dry fully.Step 6: Wipe the Device Body
Wipe the outside of the device body with 75% medical alcohol, then let it air-dry or wipe it dry with a clean, soft cloth. Do not rinse the main device body (containing the electronic components and battery) with water or put it in water.Step 7: Store
Store the device body and medication cup in a clean, dry place.Masks
Each user must use their own mask and accessories, as the manual says. The manual says the accessories are single-use: do not reuse them. Contact SonoHealth support with any questions about the masks. The manual also says to clean and disinfect the cup and mask before first use, and after a long time without use. The steps above cover the cup and the device body. Contact SonoHealth support about preparing the masks. Do not put the medication cup or masks in boiling water, because the parts can lose their shape. Do not dry them in a microwave.Mesh Care: The Most Important Component
The vibrating mesh is the precision component of the MistPro. Proper care extends its life and maintains treatment efficiency: Do:- Clean and disinfect the medication cup (which houses the mesh) after every use, as described above
- Use distilled water rather than tap water if your area has hard water (prevents mineral deposits)
- Store with the medication cup empty and dry
- Insert any object into the mesh holes (pins, cotton swabs, brushes)
- Use harsh chemical cleaners such as bleach or acetone
- Allow the cup to sit with residual medication in it for extended periods
- Subject the mesh side to hard water without cleaning — mineral buildup reduces mesh efficiency
If the Mist Gets Weak
The MistPro manual says weak or no mist can mean the mesh is dirty. Follow every step above, including the 10-minute clean-water run (Step 4) and drying right away. The mesh is a part that wears out: the manual gives its life as about six months when used 3 times a day for 20 minutes each time. Mesh life varies with use, medicine, and cleaning. If there is still little or no mist after cleaning, replace the medication cup or contact SonoHealth support.Storage
- Store the MistPro in a clean, dry location — a case or sealed bag prevents dust accumulation on the mesh
- Do not store with any liquid in the medication cup
- Store at room temperature — avoid extreme heat, cold, or humidity
- Keep the device away from direct sunlight for extended periods
When to Replace Components
The MistPro’s 1-year warranty covers device defects. If the device fails to nebulize adequately after following cleaning procedures, contact SonoHealth support.
