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.
FILTER CHANGE
1. Filter should be changed every 6 months or sooner if filter discolors.
2. Remove filter
(Fig. A)
by grasping it firmly and pulling out of the unit.
Discard old filter.
3. Replace with a new DeVilbiss filter (part #3655D-601). Additional filters should
be purchased from your Sunrise provider.
4. Push new filter into position.
CAUTION–
Do not reuse or wash filter or substitute any other material such as cotton
for a DeVilbiss air-inlet filter. It will result in compressor damage.
MAINTENANCE
All maintenance must be performed by a qualified Sunrise provider or authorized ser-
vice center.
DANGER
Electric shock hazard. Do not remove compressor cabinet. All disassembly and
maintenance must be done by a qualified Sunrise provider.
NEBULIZER CLEANING
All parts of the nebulizer, except tubing, should be
cleaned according to the following instructions. Your
physician and/or Sunrise provider may specify a certain
cleaning procedure. If so, follow their recommendations.
To prevent possible risk of infection from con-
taminated medication, cleaning of the nebulizer
is recommended after each aerosol treatment.
Disinfecting is recommended once a day.
Clean After Every Use:
1. With power switch in the “Off” position,
unplug power cord from wall outlet.
2. Disconnect tubing from the air-inlet connector
and set aside.
3. Disassemble mouthpiece or mask from cap.
Open nebulizer by turning cap counterclockwise
and removing baffle.
4. Wash all items, except tubing, in a hot
water/dishwashing detergent solution. Rinse
under hot tap water for 30 seconds to remove
detergent residue. Allow to air dry.
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. 8
) OR use a medical bacte-
rial-germicidal disinfectant available through
your provider. For reusable nebulizer only, clean
daily in dishwasher using top shelf. Be sure to
follow manufacturer'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.
CAUTION–
The DeVilbiss Reusable Nebulizer is dish-
washer safe, but do not place any dispos-
able nebulizer parts in an automatic dish-
washer; doing so could cause damage.
