INTENDED USE
The nebulizer is intended to be used to deliver aerosol drug
to the patient's lungs. It is to be used by infant, child and
adult patients. The patient is to be awake and can breathe
unassisted. The environments of use include hospitals, clinics
and the home. The nebulizer is single patient, reusable when
used in the home. It is multi-patient, reusable when cleaned
according to the hospital instructions.
Breath actuation only produces aerosol when the patient
inhales. Aerosol is not produced when the patient exhales or
takes a break in treatment. The clinical benefit is more drug
is available to the lungs. Less drug is lost to the environment.
Caution: Breath actuation delivers drug on inspiration
only. This may result in an increase of the dosage to the lungs.
Health care providers should take this into consideration
with regards to dosage.
If you have concerns regarding the use of the nebulizer,
please speak with your health care provider.
Notes
• The nebulizer is designed to aerosolize solutions and
suspensions.
• Only use with drugs prescribed by a health care provider.
• Do not use in an anaesthetic or a ventilator breathing
system.
