NEBULIZER CLEANING
All parts of the nebulizer, except tubing, should be cleaned according to the following instructions. Your physician and/or
Drive DeVilbiss provider may specify a certain cleaning procedure. If so, follow their recommendations.
WARNING
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.
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 Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher safe, but do not place any disposable nebulizer 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 (131ºF-149ºF/55ºC-65ºC) to one part white
vinegar (>=5% acetic acid concentration) 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.
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.
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 disposable, we recommend that an extra nebulizer
be kept on hand at all times. The Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher safe and may be cleaned and reused for up to 6
months.
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.
DANGER
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.
3.
Replace with a new filter. Additional filters should be purchased from your Drive DeVilbiss provider.
4.
Push new filter into position, and replace filter cover.
CAUTION
Do not reuse or wash filter or substitute any other material such as cotton for a Drive DeVilbiss air-inlet filter.
It will result in compressor damage
