Disinfect Daily:
1. Using a clean container or bowl, soak items in three parts hot water to one
part white vinegar for 30 minutes (
Fig. 9
) OR use a medical bacterial-germici-
dal disinfectant available through your provider. Be sure to follow manufactur-
er's instructions carefully.
2. With clean hands, remove items from disinfectant solution, rinse under hot tap
water, and air dry on a clean paper towel. Store in a zip-lock bag.
NOTE–
Do not towel dry nebulizer parts; this could cause contamination.
To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated cleaning solutions,
always prepare fresh solution for each cleaning cycle and discard solution
after each use.
3. Keep the outer surface of the tubing dust-free by wiping regularly. Nebulizer
tubing does not have to be washed because only filtered air passes through it.
NOTE–
The DeVilbiss Disposable Nebulizer will last at least 15 days and possibly longer,
depending on usage. Proper cleaning will also help extend the life of the nebu-
lizer. Because it is disposable, we recommend that an extra nebulizer be kept on
hand at all times. Sunrise also manufactures the DeVilbiss Reusable Nebulizer
that is dishwasher safe and may be cleaned and reused for up to one year.
COMPRESSOR CLEANING
1. With power switch in the "Off" position, unplug power cord from wall outlet.
2. Wipe outside of the compressor cabinet with a clean damp cloth every few days
to keep dust-free.
DANGER
Do not submerge in water; doing so will result in compressor damage.
