H Assembling Your Lamira Handset

Your Handset including the Aerosol Head is not sterile. Before first use, rinse, clean, and disinfect your Handset (See Section F). Moving forward, rinse, clean, and disinfect the Handset right after each use (See Section G). Inspect all parts to make sure they are cleaned and are not visibly damaged. Do not use dirty or damaged parts.
			Clean and disinfect your Handset before the first use.
	Step H1:	Clean and Disinfect your Handset before the first time you use it. See Sections F and G.
	Step H2:	Wash your hands with soap and water and dry them well (H-2).
	Step H3:	Open the Handset. The Medication Reservoir and the Aerosol Chamber are attached using a "hinge". First, gently pull up on the tab of the Medication Reservoir (H-3). This will release the Aerosol Chamber so that you may open it.
	Step H4:	Insert the Blue Valve on top of the Aerosol Chamber (H-4). Make sure the 2 valve flaps are positioned down (valve flaps not bent) as shown in H-4a. Do not push the Blue Valve inside of the Aerosol Chamber. The Blue Valve should be placed on top of the Aerosol Chamber.
	Step H5:	Insert the Aerosol Head Note: It is important that you do not touch the silver part of the Aerosol Head at any time during assembly. (H-5a)
		Check to make sure the Aerosol Head is labeled "Lamira®". Do not use other eFlow Technology Aerosol Heads in the Lamira. (H-5b).
		Carefully grasp the Aerosol Head by the 2 flexible plastic tabs on each side of the Aerosol Head. Turn the Aerosol Head so that "Lamira®" is facing toward you and is at the top of the Aerosol Head (H-5b).
		Squeeze the two flexible plastic tabs together while inserting the metal arms and flexible plastic tabs into the Medication Reservoir (H-5c). You should feel the flexible plastic tabs "grab" as you insert it.
	Step H6:	Close your Handset by pushing the Aerosol Chamber together with the Medication Reservoir until you hear a "snap" (no gaps along the blue valve edge) (H-6). If you do not hear a snap, open the Handset and check that the Blue Valve is seated properly (See Step H-4 ).
	Step H7:	Attach Mouthpiece to your Handset. Make sure the Blue Flap is facing up (H-7) and is pressed in the slot on the Mouthpiece. Push the Mouthpiece straight onto the Handset. Make sure the Mouthpiece stays attached to the Handset during treatment.
	Step H8:	Attach the Connection Cord by lining up the bottom of the Connector with the bottom of the Handset (H-8a) and pushing the Connection Cord upward against the rear underside of the Handset (H-8b) until you hear the parts snap together.
	Step H9:	Connect the Connection Cord to the Controller. Push the round end of the Connection Cord into the plug inlet port located under the digital display (H-9). Place the Controller with the attached Handset on a clean, flat, stable surface.

I Taking ARIKAYCE

Important information to know before you start If you use a bronchodilator (reliever), use the bronchodilator first, before using ARIKAYCE. Refer to your bronchodilator leaflet for information. The nebulizer for ARIKAYCE should only be used for giving ARIKAYCE. Each vial of ARIKAYCE is for single (1 time) use only. Do not use ARIKAYCE with any other type of Handset or Aerosol Head than the one provided in the carton. Do not put other medicines in the Lamira Nebulizer Handset. Do not drink the liquid in the vial. Do not use ARIKAYCE if the expiration date has passed. Getting your ARIKAYCE ready before adding it to the Lamira Nebulizer Handset.		Your ARIKAYCE should be at room temperature before use to make sure that your Lamira operates properly. Bring ARIKAYCE to room temperature by removing it from the refrigerator *at least 45 minutes* before use. Do not use if your ARIKAYCE has been frozen. Do not use other medicine in your Handset.
Step I1:	Shake the ARIKAYCE vial well for a minimum of 10 to 15 seconds, AND UNTIL THE MEDICINE LOOKS THE SAME THROUGHOUT AND WELL MIXED (I-1).
Step I2:	Lift orange cap from vial and throw away (dispose of) the orange cap (I-2).
Step I3:	Grip metal ring on top of the vial. Pull it down gently (I-3) until 1 side breaks away from the vial but do not pull the tab completely off (I-3a).
Step I4:	Pull the metal band from around the vial top in a circular motion until it comes off completely from the vial (I-4). Throw away (dispose of) the metal band after it is removed.
Step I5:	Carefully remove the rubber stopper by pulling it upward (I-5).
Step I6:	Make sure your Handset is placed on a clean, flat, stable surface. Pour 1 vial of ARIKAYCE into the Medication Reservoir (I-6). Do not use more than 1 vial for each treatment.
Step I7:	Attach the Medication Cap by lining up the Tabs on the Medication Cap with the Tab Slots on the Medication Reservoir (I-7). Turn the Medication Cap clockwise until it stops. As the Medication Cap is turned, the inner cap of the Medication Cap should rise.
Step I8:	To begin your treatment, sit in a relaxed, upright position. Press and hold the On/Off (2 to 3 seconds) (I-8) until the start screen appears on the LCD display (I-8a). You will also hear 1 "beep" and the status light will turn green. The Lamira is now On. After treatment begins, the treatment screen (I 8b) will replace the start screen (I-8a) and aerosol mist will begin to flow.
Step I9:	Insert the Mouthpiece by placing it on top of your bottom lip and tongue. Close your lips around the Mouthpiece but do not cover the blue flap (I-9). Take slow, deep breaths then breathe normally in and out through the Mouthpiece until your treatment is complete. Your treatment should take about 14 minutes, but could take up to 20 minutes.
	Hold the Handset level throughout your treatment. If the Handset is held at an angle over 45 degrees (I-9a), it will sound 2 beeps (and LED flashes) and shut off after 30 seconds. If this occurs, hold the Handset level and press the On/Off Button to start your treatment again.
Note:	The Lamira can be paused at any time during operation by pressing the On/Off button for 1 second. The screen will go from On (I-9b) to Pause (I-9c), a 5-beep alarm tone will sound, and the status light on the Controller will flash. To resume your treatment, press the Controller On/Off button for 1 full second. The Controller will run for up to 20 minutes. If your treatment is not complete after 20 minutes, press the On/Off button to continue treatment.
Important Information: The amount of time to nebulize your ARIKAYCE may change from dose to dose and may become longer unless the cleaning and maintenance instructions are followed (See Maintaining Your Lamira).
Step I10:	At the end of your treatment, the following will happen: The Lamira will beep 2 times. The Dose Complete Checkmark will appear briefly on the screen (I-10a). The Controller will automatically shut off.
	Always check the Medication Reservoir by removing the Medication Cap (I-10b) to make sure you have completed your dose. If more than a few drops of ARIKAYCE remains, replace the Medication Cap (I-10c) and press On/Off start button and complete your dose. Change your Aerosol Head after 7 uses. After the Aerosol Head has been used 7 times, replace it with a new Aerosol Head during the cleaning process. Follow the instructions in Steps F6 through F9 and replace the Aerosol Head with a new one. Change your Handset after 28 days. After the Handset has been used for 28 days, replace it with a new Handset during the cleaning process.	Important: Clean and disinfect your Handset after each use. See sections F and G for instructions. Change your Aerosol Head after 7 uses. Lamira Handset is to be used for 28 days.

J Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION 1: How long should my ARIKAYCE treatment take?

Answer: With normal operation and proper cleaning, your Handset should deliver 1 vial of ARIKAYCE in about 14 minutes but could take up to 20 minutes. Your Lamira should automatically shut off shortly after your treatment is complete or after 20 minutes. If the Lamira turns off after 20 minutes, check the Medication Reservoir. If it is empty, you have received your full dose.

QUESTION 2: How much ARIKAYCE should be left in the Medication Reservoir at the end of my treatment?

Answer: Only a drop of ARIKAYCE should remain in the Medication Reservoir. If more than a drop remains, start the Controller and complete your dose. Then clean the Aerosol Head (Section F). If after proper cleaning, more than a drop remains in the Medication Reservoir, contact the inLighten Patient Support Program at 1-833-LIGHT-00 (1-833-544-4800).

QUESTION 3: When I turn on my Nebulizer, nothing happens. There does not seem to be any power.

Answer: If you are using batteries, use the figures in each Battery Compartment to check that the batteries are inserted correctly. If the batteries are positioned properly, check to see if the light is blinking on the Controller signaling low battery power. If it is, replace the batteries or use the A/C Power Supply.
Answer: If you are using the A/C Power Supply, check the connection to be sure it is firmly connected to the Power Supply Port located underneath the Battery Compartment.
Be sure that the A/C Power Supply is plugged into a working wall outlet.

QUESTION 4: Sometimes I have trouble removing the Medication Cap at the end of my therapy session.

Answer: A vacuum has formed in the Medication Reservoir. Remove the Connection Cord, open the Handset and carefully remove the Aerosol Head. The Medication Cap will then be easier to remove.

QUESTION 5: What if no mist is coming out of your Handset?

Answer: First, make sure ARIKAYCE is at room temperature before use. If ARIKAYCE is not at room temperature, your nebulizer may not mist immediately. Secondly, check that the Controller has power and is not paused. Thirdly, make sure the Connection Cord is correctly attached. Fourthly, check to be sure that your Handset has been assembled properly (Section H) and that the Handset is level throughout your treatment. Lastly, check to be sure that the ARIKAYCE is in the Medication Reservoir. If you are still having a problem, contact inLighten Patient Support Program at 1-833-LIGHT-00 (1-833-544-4800).
