order of, a physician or licensed practitioner. This device
should only be used under the continued supervision of a
physician or licensed practitioner.
DANGER THIS MEDICAL DEVICE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS
A LIFE SUSTAINING OR LIFE SUPPORTING DEVICE.
This device has been thoroughly tested and inspected to assure proper performance and
operation.
Specications put forth in this manual were in effect at the time of publication. However, to

DANGER
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from electrocution, re, burns and to reduce
the risk of damage or malfunction of the unit:
• Before use, check the ratings label on the back of the compressor to ensure that the
voltage and current indicated on the unit correspond with the voltage and current
available. DO NOT overload wall outlets or use with power strips or extension cords.
• DO NOT use this product with a DC to AC converter, or with any AC voltage and/or
frequency other than specied.
WARNING
• Before use, check all accessories for proper assembly. All parts should be rmly in
place. Use of improperly assembled accessories could diminish or prevent adequate
delivery of medication and the effectiveness of the treatment.

6
WARNING
• ALL included accessories are for single patient use only. DO NOT share your accessories with other
patients.
• NEVER use the nebulizer if it is clogged. If clogged, the aerosol mist will be reduced, altered, or
stopped, which will diminish or eliminate the effectiveness of the treatment.
If clogging occurs, replace with the same model.
DANGER
• DO NOT operate where oxygen is being administered in a closed environment such as an oxygen tent.
• To avoid Electromagnetic Interference/Radio-Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI):
a. DO NOT turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices such as cellular
phones, walkie-talkies and CB radios while the compressor is turned on.
b. DO NOT operate the compressor close to any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.).
c. Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying the compressor may make it
more susceptible to EMI/RFI.
WARNING
• DO NOT use the nebulizer while operating a vehicle or while bathing.
• Keep all electrical cords away from heated surfaces. DO NOT operate or store unit under direct
sunlight, high temperature or humidity.
• The compressor motor has a thermal protector, which will shut off the unit before it
becomes overheated. When the thermal protector shuts the unit off, please:
o Switch off the unit and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
o Wait 20 min. for motor to cool down before starting another treatment.
o Make sure the air openings are not obstructed and air lter is clean.

DETACHED OR BROKEN, EXPOSING THE MOTOR OR ANY
OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

bent, especially at the plug connections. Damage will occur at the high ex point of entry into the
appliance, causing it to rupture and short. Handle the cord carefully for longer life.
• Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by or near children and physically or
mentally impaired persons. NEVER use when sleeping or drowsy.

WARNING
WARNING: ALWAYS USE CLOSE ADULT SUPERVISION WHEN
ADMINISTERING TREATMENT TO A CHILD. DO NOT LEAVE CHILD

• Any patient who is unable to use a mouthpiece properly under supervision should use a mask.
• To reduce the risk of increased bacterial growth, infection, illness or injury from contamination, thoroughly
clean and dry all accessories and thoroughly dry any moisture or condensation in the tubing at the end
of EVERY treatment, following the instructions on page 10. Cleaning the medication cup after each treat-
ment is not enough. The accessories MUST also be regularly disinfected after every treatment to prevent
serious or fatal illness caused by contamination. Refer to page 11 for disinfection procedures.
