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 med-
ication 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 fol-
lowing 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 Model 3655 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 Sunrise Medical, verify that
the pressure and/or flow characteristics of the nebulizer (while driven by the
Model 3655) meet the nebulizer manufacturer's recommendation.
