DEAR CUSTOMER
Thank you for buying the new Bobo-neb nebulizer for inhalation purposes. Aerosol therapy is an effective
and safe way of treating respiratory diseases. Therapy should be commenced after consulting a
physician. Read this manual carefully before using the appliance for the first time.
1. INTRODUCTION
Bobo-neb nebulizer is a compact medical device for intermittent operation (30 minutes of work, 30
minutes pause). It makes the medication reach the bronchi and lungs immediately and directly by
inhalation. If proper precautions are kept, the appliance shall ensure quality treatment over a number of

respiratory diseases. The appliance generates an air stream directed via the
tubing to the nebulizer. Upon introduction of the air into the nebulizer, the
medicine is diffused in the form of an easy-to-inhale mist. The main flow of air
into and from the compressor is presented in Fig. 1.
