INTRODUCTION

Your doctor has prescribed a liquid medication to treat your respiratory condition. To best utilize this liquid medication, he
has prescribed a DeVilbiss brand compressor/nebulizer. Your DeVilbiss compressor/nebulizer works to convert the
medication to a high-quality mist of fine particles that penetrates deep into the lungs.
Be sure that you read and understand the information in this instruction guide. By following these simple instructions and
the advice of your physician, your compressor will become an effective addition to your therapeutic routine.
Statement of Intended Use
The DeVilbiss compressor/nebulizer includes an AC powered air compressor that provides a source of compressed air for
home health care use. The compressor is used in conjunction with a jet (pneumatic) nebulizer to convert certain inhalable
drugs into an aerosol form for inhalation by a patient. The device can be used with adult or pediatric patients.
NOTE– If using a nebulizer other than one distributed by DeVilbiss, verify that the pressure and/or flow characteristics of
the nebulizer (while driven by the DeVilbiss compressor) meet the nebulizer manufacturer's recommendation.
