Setting up the I-neb AAD System

For full details on how to use the I-neb AAD System, see the user manual that accompanies your device.

Setting up is simple and easy

Make sure the battery is charged. The I-neb AAD System, when fully charged, will last for up to 40 treatments before recharging is needed.1

Hold the Ventavis ampule with the blue dot facing away from you and align with dot on ampule breaker to open the ampule.1

After removing the medication lid, put the dosing guide over the medication chamber. Use the pipette to draw Ventavis out of the ampule. Carefully squeeze the liquid into the medication chamber.1

Replace the lid, cover the latch, and attach the mouthpiece.1
