Quick Start Guide
The SU99 Elite™ incorporates a High frequency ultrasonic generator to vaporize/nebulize the inner
chamber contents; through the utilization of micro-processor controls the Device can independently
vary both the density of the nebulization and the air-flow. NexGen™ Circuits are utilized along with
the SU99 Elite™ as a means to administer the nebulized liquid. NexGen™ Circuits have been
expressly designed to provide a closed system for optimum results.
1 Set-Up Procedure for the SU99 Elite™
Plug the power cable male connector (1a) into a power outlet (1b) and then connect the power cable female connector
(1c) into the device power socket (2). On initial set-up verify the correct voltage selection according to the label on the
device (3).* Switch the device on by means of the power switch (4) found on the back of the device.

Fill the Nebulizing Chamber (5) with water (distilled water is recommended for device longevity). The Chamber should be
filled to the bar indicator visible between the minimum (min) and maximum (max) line indicators (5a). Failure to fill the
Chamber as instructed will result in an audible alarm sounding when the device is turned on and may result in damage to
the Chamber and/or Device. Securely fit the Medicine Cup (9) onto the Nebulizing Chamber. Fill the Medicine Cup (9) with
the prescribed medium that is to be aerosolized (10). Securely fit the Nebulizer Chamber Lid (11) onto the Medicine Cup
(9). Failure to fill the Medicine Cup as instructed will result in an audible alarm sounding when the device is turned on and
may result in damage to the Chamber and/or device.

Press the Mist Density Control button (18) to the desired Mist Density. Pressing + increases the Mist Density. Pressing –
reduces the Mist Density volume.
Press the Air Velocity Control button (19) to the desired airflow. Pressing + raises the air volume. Pressing – reduces the
air volume.
Press the Timer button (20) to activate the timer. Pressing + increases the therapy duration. Pressing – reduces the time.
The timer can be set to 15 minute increments; 15, 30, 45 and up to a maximum of 60 minutes of therapy time. The control
light indicates when the timer is active and for which length of time it is set. If the timer is not used, the device timer mode
automatically defaults to continuous operation; the use of the timer overrides this function and automatically turns the
Device off when the preset time has elapsed.
If you wish to interrupt the timer, press the On/Off button (17) and the device will immediately stop. To reinitiate
nebulization, simply press On/Off button once again.

Quick Review
1) Place the Reusable Chamber (Item E75-099EU) onto the Receptacle on the upper side of the SU99 Elite™.
2) Insert the Reusable Chamber by lining up the Chamber with the indentation on the Receptacle.
3) Ensure that a Bacterial Filter (Item A13-206) is in place on the port located on the upper rear housing of the SU99
Elite™. (Follow your infection control protocol for the frequency of change of this filter.)
4) Fill the reusable Chamber with Distilled Water. Ensure that the Water is at the fill-line indicated on the side of the
Chamber. (The Water serves as a means for Energy Transmission from the Nebulizing Chamber to the
Medication Cup. If the water level is too low and the Chamber is not correctly installed, Energy cannot travel to
the Chamber medium. If the water level is too high, it will dissipate some of the Energy and not nebulize
efficiently. (Please follow the trouble-shooting guide in the Operator’s Manual for additional information regarding
this subject or call for Technical Assistance: (877) 867-7463.)
5) Open the Resealable Bag containing your NexGen™ Circuit by tearing the pre-scored easy-open tab located at
the top. (For a selection of NexGen™ Circuits appropriate to your application, please refer to our Product Order
Guide.)
6) Open the Resealable Bag and remove the Disposable Medicine Cup and Lid. Install the Lid onto the Medicine
Cup. Ensure that these two items are securely joined. Insert the Lid/Medicine Cup onto the Reusable Chamber.
7) Open the Solution Ampule(s) and squeeze the contents into either of the two Connector Ports on the Lid
assembly.
8) Connect the NexGen™ System Circuit (shorter tube) onto either of the two Connector Ports on the Lid assembly
then onto the Bacterial/Viral Filter.
9) Connect the NexGen™ Patient Circuit (longer tube) onto the remaining Connector Port on the Lid assembly. If
your NexGen™ Circuit packet includes a mask or mouthpiece, connect the mask/mouthpiece to the NexGen™
Patient Circuit.
10) The Device Key-pad controls provide icons for easy reference and operation, allowing for independent
adjustment of mist density, treatment air-flow and programmable treatment time intervals in 15 minute increments.

Note (NexGen™ Circuits):
There are specific NexGen™ Circuits for Sputum induction - please refer to the Product Ordering section of this Quick
Reference Guide for more information. SU99 Elite NexGen™ Circuit Sets create a fully disposable treatment/induction
method in full compliance with CDC standards for Infection Control.
Once used, the Circuit, Cup, Lid and Mask or Mouthpiece should be sealed into a bio-bag and properly disposed of.
Disinfection/decontamination of the Device, Reusable Chamber and work space is then quick and easy. Using the
recommended Disinfectant/Decontaminant Wipe (Item H168-100), you are able to effectively clean and disinfect the work
space, Device, Chamber and outer body of the Bacterial/Viral Filter (Item B239-102). These wipes are safe for use on
both hard and non-porous surfaces, they are fragrance and bleach-free and have a 1-minute contact kill time for virucidal,
bactericidal (including TB) and fungicidal activity.*
*In the case of contamination with blood/other bodily fluids or when gross visible debris is present, a thorough cleaning of surfaces and objects must occur prior to
disinfection. In order for disinfection to occur properly, the disinfectant must be able to come in direct contact with the intended surface.
Note (Sputum Induction):
The SU99 Elite™ Ultrasonic Nebulizer is very effective for Sputum Induction when normal (0.9%) saline solution is
utilized. The Device generates the necessary aerosolized particle size recommended for this procedure.
Patients should not ingest cough suppressants or antihistamines for at least 24 hours prior to Sputum Induction. The use
of cough suppressants and antihistamines prior to sputum induction may negatively affect and may severely delay the
procedure. Cough suppressants interfere with the body’s ability to produce and cough up mucus. Antihistamines block the
effect of histamines, thereby reducing or preventing mucus production. Failure to induce sputum under these
circumstances is therefore not evidence of failed inhalation or induction, but the effects caused by the use of these
products. On average, the active ingredient in most cough suppressants and antihistamines will remain in the human body
for up to 24 hours; because elimination times vary according to the drug taken, consult product inserts or seek the advice
of a physician.
Note (Use of Unapproved Circuits):
Do not use unapproved circuits, parts or accessories as they may damage the SU99 Elite and will void the warranty.
The information and any examples contained in this Quick Start Guide are subject to change without notice. The only warranties for the SU99 Elite™ product are set
