introduction
respiratory condition. To best utilize this liquid medication, he has prescribed a Drive brand
compressor nebulizer. Your Drive compressor nebulizer works to convert the medication to
a high-quality mist of ne particles that penetrates deep into the lungs.
Be sure that you read and understand the information in this instruction guide. By following
these simple instructions and the advice of your physician, your compressor will become
an eective addition to your therapeutic routine.
Statement of Intended Use
The Drive compressor nebulizer includes an AC powered air compressor that provides a
source of compressed air for home health care use. The compressor is used in conjunction
with a jet (pneumatic) nebulizer to convert certain inhalable drugs into an aerosol form for
inhalation by a patient. The device can be used with adult or pediatric patients.
What are Compressor Nebulizer Systems Used For?
People with breathing problems, such as Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD) or Cystic Fibrosis are often prescribed medicines that minimize or control symp-
toms of their disease. Compressor Nebulizer Systems are a means of delivering these
prescribed medications to the lungs. These medications and the compressor nebulizer
systems should be used as directed by a physician to maximize benets. Compressor
Nebulizer systems can be prescribed for use everyday or periodically as symptoms present
themselves, such as the springtime when Hay Fever or Allergies are normally present.
How Does a Compressor Nebulizer Work?
Most medicines for use with a compressor nebulizer system are created in a liquid form.
This liquid medication is placed in the “cup” of the nebulizer (please refer to this Instruc-
tion Guide for more information on the proper use of a nebulizer). The compressor, which
is connected to the nebulizer by exible tubing, generates a specic pressure and ow of
air that essentially “drives” the nebulizer. The pressurized air produced by the compressor
initiates the nebulizer’s ability to break down the liquid medication into a very ne mist. This
mist, often referred to as an aerosol cloud, is then propelled out the nebulizer and inhaled
into the lungs where the medicine is readily absorbed. Please consult your prescription for
details on the amount of liquid medication that should be placed in the nebulizer. If you
should have any questions about your medication or its use, please contact your physician
or pharmacist.

introduction
How Do I Take a Treatment?
A nebulizer is the optimal delivery method of medication to the lungs. However, some users
may nd it dicult to use, especially very young children. In this case, an aerosol mask
may be used. To ensure that the proper mask is utilized, please consult your home health
provider or physician.
The most important aspect of taking a treatment is the patient’s breathing pattern while
inhaling the medication mist.
It should be slow and deep, all attempts should be made to sit up straight and breathe in
deep.
A general rule of thumb is to attempt to breathe in so deeply that it feels as though the
lungs are completely full of air and inhaling any additional air is impossible.
If possible, hold your breath for 1-2 seconds unless directed otherwise by your physician
and then slowly exhale through the nebulizer mouthpiece or mask. Holding your breath for
1-2 seconds after inhaling the medication allows for optimal absorption of medication in the
lungs.
Repeat this breathing pattern for the entire treatment.
The length of a treatment can last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the
amount of medication and the performance of your compressor and nebulizer system.
When you cannot see any medication in the nebulizer cup and the nebulizer has stopped
producing a mist, the treatment has been completed. Turn o your compressor and follow
the cleaning instructions found in this instruction guide.
If you have any additional questions regarding your equipment, medication, or treatment,
please consult your physician.

Safety Overload
NOTE Do not exceed 30 minutes of continuous operation.
NOTE This is based on the thermal interrupt safety device that is integrated into the mo-
tor. As the unit runs it generates heat and gets warm. The thermal interrupt will cut
power to the unit if the temperature inside gets to an unsafe level. Once the unit
cools o it will work normally. If the unit is run for over 30 minutes continuously the
thermal interrupt may trip which would stop the user’s treatment
1. The motor of this device has a built-in thermal overload protector. Should the mo-
tor overheat, the protector will automatically shut o the motor. Should this occur,
turn the I/O (ON/OFF) switch to the O (OFF) position and allow the motor to cool
down for approximately 30 minutes before turn it on again.
2. If the overload protector shuts o the motor frequently, you may have an unstable
voltage situation.
