Breelib, being away from home and travel

For full instructions please refer to the Breelib Inhalation System Instructions for Use. 3

Introduction to Breelib information sheet 10

The Breelib nebuliser (figure 1) and the associated patient support materials have been

designed to minimise the impact that inhaled therapy can have on everyday life. This

document will provide you with helpful information about using Breelib when you are

away from home, travelling or if you are on holiday. For more information please see the

travel section on www.Breelib.co.uk.

If you are planning to travel on holiday, always speak with your treating centre who can

advise you further.

The Breelib carry case

The Breelib carry case has been designed to help you look after your device and to make it as

easy as possible to use Breelib when you are away from home.

a) Protecting Breelib from damage

When you are not using Breelib, the device

should be stored in the carry case supplied in

your Breelib Starter Pack (figure 2). To store,

the mouthpiece should be inserted into the base

unit as you would when you are putting Breelib

together, before securing both parts inside the

case using the elasticated straps. The nebuliser

unit should then be placed in the allocated

space next to the storage compartment.

b) Using the storage

compartment

inside the carry case

The storage compartment can be used to keep

a tray of ampoules from your box of Ventavis

(iloprost trometamol). The four edges from

around the tray should be carefully cut off

with scissors to ensure a good fit inside the

compartment (figure 3). There will also be

room to store a couple of plastic pipettes and

ampoule opening devices.

Figure 3

Storage compartment

carry case in-between uses

For full instructions please refer to the Breelib Inhalation System Instructions for Use. 5

c) Using the storage space in the net pocket of the

lid to the carry case

Inside of the lid of the carry case is a net pocket which allows you to store important documents

relating to Breelib. You should keep the Breelib Medical Device Quick Reference Card (QRC)

(figure 5) stored here at all times. This is especially important if you are using Breelib away from

the home setting.

d) Using the carry case when setting up Breelib

when away from home

You should always use a flat surface

to set up and fill Breelib. When you

are away from home and you need to

take a dose, the carry case can be

opened up on your lap and used as a

flat surface (figure 4).

Do not remove Breelib from the

elasticated straps until you have

attached the nebuliser unit, filled it

with drug and closed the cap.

When to use the Breelib Medical Device Quick

Reference Card (QRC)

The Breelib Medical Device QRC (figure 5)

provides the user with a helpful reminder

about important aspects of using, charging

and caring for Breelib. The QRC also holds

information which can be helpful when you are

using Breelib in public areas. If you are ever

questioned by an official or a member of the

public about why you are using Breelib, the QRC

can be presented to provide information about

the purpose of the device, without sharing any

specific details about your condition. If further

clarification is needed by a public official,

please provide the contact details for the Bayer

medical information department which can be

found on the back cover.

Please note, this document has been adapted from the QRC which is supplied in your Breelib

Starter Pack.

Rinsing the nebuliser unit and mouthpiece

when you are away from home

When you are away from home, the

plastic bottles (figure 6) should be

filled with filtered water from your

ZeroWater jug.

If you are ever away from home

for an extended period of time,

always make sure you have enough

ZeroWater to rinse the nebuliser unit

after each dose. The mouthpiece can

be rinsed with tap or bottled water if

necessary.

Additional plastic bottles can be

requested by calling the Breelib

Support Centre.

Making ZeroWater when you

are staying away from home

If you are staying away from home for any length of time, a ZeroWater travel beaker can be

requested from the Breelib Support Centre.

a) The ZeroWater

travel beaker

The travel beaker (figure 7) is a

smaller portable version of the filter

jug provided by your treating centre.

The travel beaker can be requested

free of charge by calling the Breelib

Support Centre at least 2 weeks before

you need to travel. The travel beaker

uses a smaller portable ZeroWater

filter, one of which is supplied with the

beaker.

For full instructions please refer to the Breelib Inhalation System Instructions for Use. 7

b) Replacement portable ZeroWater filters

As well as the portable filter which is included

with the travel beaker, you will also receive

a box containing 2 replacement portable

filters (figure 8). The 2 portable filters you

will receive have the capacity to make up

to 42 litres of ZeroWater, enough to care for

Breelib for up to 3 weeks. You can request

additional portable filters free of charge by

calling the Breelib Support Centre.

The ZeroWater from the travel beaker

should only be used to care for Breelib

whilst staying away from home. Using the

travel beaker for other purposes will reduce

the lifespan of the portable filter and may

affect how well your nebuliser unit works.

c) Setting up the ZeroWater travel beaker

The travel beaker is a set up in a similar way to the ZeroWater jug you keep at home. The

portable filter is screwed into the bottom of the reservoir (figure 9) which then sits inside the

beaker (figure 10).

When your travel beaker arrives, remove the packaging and unscrew the lid to remove the

plastic straw. Lift out the reservoir from the beaker then push the portable filter out. Using hot

soapy water, wash the lid, the reservoir and the beaker before rinsing and leaving to air dry.

The plastic straw is not needed and should be placed in the household recyling or waste bin.

Figure 9

Attach the portable

filter to the reservoir

When the travel beaker is dry,

wash your hands and remove the

wrapping from the portable filter

before screwing it tightly into

the bottom of the reservoir so

that a complete seal is formed.

Figure 10

Completing set-up

With the filter now attached,

lower the reservoir into the

beaker. The travel beaker is now

ready to use to make ZeroWater.

d) Making ZeroWater with the travel beaker

To ensure the water you use to care for Breelib is more sterile, you should first boil the water in

a kettle and once it has had time to cool down, use it to make ZeroWater.

If you are in a country where the tap water is safe to drink it can be used to make ZeroWater.

However, in countries where it is advised not to drink the tap water, bottled drinking water

should be used instead.

The travel beaker is not designed to transport water. After using the travel beaker to make

ZeroWater, you should transfer it into the plastic bottles provided. Additional plastic bottles can

be requested from the Breelib Support Centre should you need them.

e) When to replace the ZeroWater portable filter

You do not need to monitor the purity of your

travel beaker’s ZeroWater with the blue water

meter, as you do with the jug at home. Instead, the

travel beaker uses a colour-change system.

The portable filter has a rectangular window on the

bottom half of the filter (figure 11). As you use the

travel beaker the colour inside the filter will slowly

change to red/orange from top to bottom.

When the colour inside the whole window has

changed it is time to replace the filter. Unscrew

the used filter and place it in the household waste

before attaching a new filter. Alternatively, some

supermarkets have recycling points for used water

filters.

It is advised to clean the travel beaker at the end

of every week and each time the filter is changed.

Breelib and air travel

This section will provide you with helpful information if you are intending to travel overseas by

air. During travel ensure that you have everything you need in your hand luggage to take your

doses and rinse Breelib.

On the day of travel, you may want to schedule your doses to maximise convenience in relation

to navigating the airport and consider the following:

Are there any stages of travel more physically demanding where a dose would be

beneficial?

Will you have access to a space where you feel comfortable using Breelib?

Will you have access to ZeroWater to rinse Breelib after finishing your dose?

a) Things to do before you travel to the airport

Charge Breelib until the green battery light stops blinking. This can take up to 4 hours

and after a full charge, the battery should last up to 1 week

If the correct plug adaptor for your destination is not supplied in your Breelib Starter

Pack, purchase one

Place a full tray of ampoules, 2 pipettes and 2 ampoule opening devices in the storage

compartment of the carry case (figure 3)

Place the Breelib Medical device QRC (figure 5) in the net pocket of the lid of the

Carry Case

Fill your plastic bottles with ZeroWater (figure 6) to use up to the point where you go

through security where the large bottle should be emptied out

Pack the Breelib Cloth and sheets of kitchen roll in your hand luggage to help with

drying parts after rinsing

Ensure you will have access to the medication you need if you experience long delays

Pack your RESERVE Breelib device and charger

For full instructions please refer to the Breelib Inhalation System Instructions for Use. 10

b) Breelib and navigating airport security checks

Due to restrictions on the amount of liquids that can be taken through to Departures, any

ZeroWater inside the large (500ml) plastic bottle (figure 6) must be emptied out before going

through to the security area. The ZeroWater inside the small (100ml) plastic bottle is allowable,

as long as you place it inside the resealable plastic bag along with the tray of Ventavis ampoules

inside the carry case. Breelib can be placed in the trays and go through the security scanner.

Once you have cleared security make sure that you collect all of your belongings before going

through to the Departures area.

c) Breelib and the Departures area

Once you are through to Departures, use your travel beaker to make enough ZeroWater to last

for the duration of your travel, making sure you factor in any possible delays. It is always better

to have too much ZeroWater than not enough.

If you intend to take a dose before boarding the plane, you should find a place where you will

feel comfortable using Breelib.

Using Breelib on a plane

Airlines and airline regulatory agencies have certain requirements for what kind of electrical

items are allowed in either checked or carry on hand luggage. Important considerations for

Breelib are the kind of rechargeable batteries allowed and how Breelib is protected from being

accidentally turned ON. This section will provide you with technical information about Breelib

which your airline may request as well as helpful information about using Breelib to take a dose

in-flight.

a) The rechargeable battery inside Breelib

The power inside a battery is measured by units called Watt Hours. Personal electrical gadgets

with batteries up to 100 Watt Hours can be taken onboard in your carry on luggage and can be

used in-flight. Breelib has a consumer-sized lithium polymer battery of 6.75 Watt Hours which

is within the allowable range.

It is highly unlikely that Breelib could be turned ON accidentally and remain ON for long enough

to overheat. Unless Breelib has been put together and filled with drug, Breelib would not turn

ON if the ON/OFF button were to be accidentally pressed. If Breelib was assembled and filled

with drug, the device would turn itself OFF if it had not been used for 5 minutes.

If you are on a long-haul flight you may want to pack your RESERVE Breelib device in your

carry on luggage, but it can also be packed in your checked luggage. Breelib will not turn ON

at temperatures below 0˚C.
