Introduction/Indications for Use
The Direct Supply Attendant compressor nebulizer is a compact medical device
designed to deliver physician-prescribed medication to the bronchial lung
passages through inhalation.
It is developed for the treatment of asthma, allergies and other respiratory
disorders. It creates a stream of air that travels through a clear tube to the
nebulizer. When air enters the nebulizer, it will convert the prescribed medication
into aerosol mist for inhalation.
Your compressor nebulizer should be used under the supervision of a licensed
physician and/or a respiratory therapist. We encourage you to thoroughly read
this Owner’s Manual to learn about the features of this product. Any use of this
product other than its intended use should be avoided.
This device is a tool to assist the caregiver as part of an overall care plan, and not
a substitute for appropriate monitoring, diagnosis, training, care or treatment.
Other devices may be required. This device is intended for use by trained and
licensed healthcare providers in normal, indoor conditions.
