USING YOUR NEBULIZER
Before the first use of the nebulizer or if the unit has not been used for an extended period of
time, it should be cleaned thoroughly as described in the
Cleaning
section of this manual.
The patient receiving treatment should be seated or slightly reclined in a comfortable position
as treatments take several minutes. Keep in mind that
the nebulizer cup must remain vertical during treatment.
1. Place the compressor unit on a flat, stable surface
within operating range of the patient and an
electrical outlet. Ensure that the air vents on
the side of the unit housing are not blocked or
obstructed and that the power is off.
2. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
3. Attach one end of the air tube to the tube
connector at the back of the unit, Fig. 1. Turn on the
power briefly to ensure that the unit is functioning
properly and test that air is coming through the
tubing, then turn the power off.
Disposable Nebulizer (INCLUDED)
This unit is intended for single patient use and should not be shared with other
people. This nebulizer should be replaced every 30 days.
Be sure to inspect the nebulizer for damage before each use.
