NOTE– During high-humidity weather conditions, condensation (water build up) can occur in
the nebulizer tubing. If this occurs, dry the tubing by operating the unit with the tubing
connected but without the nebulizer.
6.
Assemble clean nebulizer and add prescribed medication (Fig. 2).
7.
Assemble mouthpiece, t-piece and corrugated tubing (if applicable) and insert into the
top of the nebulizer cap. If using an aerosol mask, insert the bottom part of the mask
directly into the top of the nebulizer cap.
8.
Attach tubing to nebulizer air-inlet connector (Fig. 3).
9.
Press the power switch "On" to start the compressor (Fig. 1).
10. Begin treatment by placing the mouthpiece between teeth. With mouth closed, inhale
deeply and slowly through mouth as aerosol begins to flow, then exhale slowly
through the mouthpiece (Fig. 4). If treatment needs to be interrupted, simply press
power switch "Off."
NOTE–Your physician may recommend a specific breathing pattern during treatment. If so,
follow his/her recommendations.
11. If an aerosol mask is used, place the mask over mouth and nose (Fig. 5). As aerosol
begins to flow, inhale deeply and slowly through mouth, then exhale slowly.
12. When treatment is complete, turn unit off by pressing the power switch to the "Off"
position. Unplug the unit from the wall power outlet.

All parts of the nebulizer, except tubing, should be cleaned according to the following
instructions. Your physician and/or DeVilbiss provider may specify a certain cleaning
procedure. If so, follow their recommendations.

To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated 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 warm water/dishwashing detergent solution. Rinse
under warm 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 warm water
(131˚F-149ºF/55˚C-65˚C)
concentration)
for 30 minutes (Fig. 6) 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 warm 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.
WaRNiNg
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 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 it is
disposable, we recommend that an extra nebulizer be kept on hand at all times.
