NEBULIZER CLEANING

All parts of the nebulizer, except tubing, should be cleaned according to the fol-
lowing 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 contaminated med-
ication, cleaning of the nebulizer is recommended after each
aerosol treatment. Disinfecting is recommended once a day.
Clean After Every Use:
1. When the unit is turned off, 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.
CAUTION– The DeVilbiss Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher safe, but do not place any disposable nebu-
lizer parts in an automatic dishwasher; doing so could cause damage.
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. 7) OR use a medical bacterial-germicidal disinfectant available through your
provider. 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
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. For reusable nebulizer only, clean daily in dishwasher (if available) using top shelf.
4. 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 Disposable Nebulizer will last at least 15 days and possibly longer, depending on usage.
Proper cleaning will also help extend the life of the nebulizer. Because the nebulizer is dispos-
able, we recommend that an extra nebulizer be kept on hand at all times. The DeVilbiss
Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher safe and may be cleaned and reused for up to one year.

COMPRESSOR CLEANING

1. With the unit off, unplug power cord from wall outlet.
2. Wipe the outside of the compressor cabinet with a clean damp cloth every few days to keep dust-
free.
Do not submerge in water; doing so will result in compressor damage.

FILTER CHANGE

1. Filter should be changed every six months or sooner if filter discolors.
2. Remove filter (Fig. A) by pulling back the filter cover tab and then pulling out the filter from the
unit. Discard old filter. The filter cover tab should remain attached to the device.
