About Breelib
Breelib is a medical device called a nebuliser. Breelib turns liquid drug into a fine mist which a patient can breathe into their lungs to help with their symptoms. Breelib should only ever be used to take Ventavis (iloprost trometamol). This area of the website will provide patients and their caregivers with helpful information about using Breelib and how best to look after the device.
UK Breelib patients can contact the Breelib Support Centre if they experience a problem with using Breelib or for any device-related queries.

Breelib is made of three parts.
BASE UNIT
The base unit contains the electrics and rechargeable battery
NEBULISER UNIT

Each patient will receive two Breelib Starter Packs: one PRIMARY and one RESERVE.
PRIMARY BREELIB STARTER PACK
Your PRIMARY Breelib device is set-up by your treating centre and should be used every day.
RESERVE BREELIB STARTER PACK
The RESERVE Breelib device should be kept somewhere safe and memorable and only used if your PRIMARY Breelib device stops working for any reason which cannot be resolved after speaking with the Breelib Support Centre or if out of hours, using the Troubleshooting feature of this website
Breelib Monthly Pack
The nebuliser unit and mouthpiece make up the Breelib Monthly Pack. The nebuliser unit and mouthpiece should only be used for a period of 4 weeks, as they may not work as well as they should if used for longer.
With each month's supply of drug you should receive a new Monthly Pack inside your box of Ventavis. If you do not receive a new Monthly Pack please let the Breelib Support Centre or your treating centre know.
After using your nebuliser unit and mouthpiece for 4 weeks place them in the household recycling or waste bin and use a new Monthly Pack.
Should you ever need a new nebuliser unit or mouthpiece, a spare Monthly Pack can be found in your RESERVE Breelib Starter Pack. If you ever use your RESERVE Monthly Pack please call the Breelib Support Centre as soon as possible to arrange a replacement.
