Thank you for purchasing the MedPro AirPort™ Portable Nebulizer
System. It is a compact medical device designed to efficiently deliver
physician prescribed medication to the bronchial lung passages. With
proper care it will provide you with many years of reliable treatment.
This device is developed for use in the treatment of asthma, allergies and
other respiratory disorders. The pump creates a stream of compressed air
that is sent to the nebulizer. When the air enters the nebulizer, it will
convert the liquid solution of medication present in the nebulizer
chamber into an aerosol mist for easy inhalation.
This device can be used on adult or pediatric patients.
®
Your MedPro AirPort™ Portable Nebulizer System should be used
under the supervision of a licensed physician and / or a respiratory
therapist. We encourage you to thoroughly read this instruction manual
to learn about the features of this product. Any use of this device other
than its intended use should always be avoided.

ABOUT THE TWO-VALVE FEATURE
The mouthpiece included with this unit
features a two-valve system. During expiration,
the expiration valve will open, allowing the
patient's exhaled air to pass to atmosphere,
avoiding contamination of the device. During
inspiration, the valve will close, maximizing
the amount of inhalation and reducing any
waste of drug to a minimum.

INHALATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the prepared nebulizer system in front of you. Start it by
pressing the ON/OFF button. A green light will appear, indicating
that the compressor is working normally. Note: an orange light
indicates that the battery needs to be recharged.
2. Inhale the drug as prescribed by your doctor. Only the nebulization
capsule and solution for aerosol therapy should be used for this
device. During inhalation, it is important that the device be kept in
the vertical position as this guarantees correct functioning of the
device and maximum effectiveness of the treatment.
3. Once the generated mist is no longer constant, it indicates that the
drug in the nebulizer chamber is running out; however, therapy
should be continued until there is no aerosol left at all.
IMPORTANT: As with most devices for aerosol treatment, at the end
of the inhalation, a certain amount of medication (about 0.95 ml) will
remain in the nebulizer chamber which is perfectly normal. This portion
of the drug, also called the residual volume, cannot be nebulized.
