INTRODUCTION
What Is a Nebulizer and How Does It Work?
The compressor nebulizer system is a device that turns a liquid drug into
a ne aerosol under the inuence of the compressed air. Aerosol con-
tains large and small particles. When breathing, the gravity makes the
larger particles accumulate on the walls of the upper respiratory passages
while the smaller particles have enough time to reach the lower bronchial
branches. Therefore the drug comes to all parts of the patient’s bronchial
tree, including the smallest bronchi and alveoli, and gets into the blood
vessels on the walls of the alveoli in big therapeutic dozes with tiny or
none side e󰀨ects.
What Is Nebulizing Therapy Used For?
Nebulizer systems are used by the patients with:
• acute respiratory diseases,
• obstructive pulmonary disease,
• chronic inammatory processes in respiratory passages, such as
chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma (incl. chronic or unstable ones,
exacerbation of asthma), chronic pharyngitis,
• respiratory passage infections,
• abnormalities in secretion quality and secreting in bronchi,
• di󰀨erent types of coughing.
What Are the Advantages of Nebulizing Therapy?
Nebulizing therapy gives a possibility to quickly act upon the inammatory
zone by big drug dozes which increases the inuence of the treatment and
reduces the risk of side e󰀨ects to other organs. Nebulizing therapy is the
easiest way of inhalation treatment and it is also an economical means of
treatments from the point of view of purposeful use of drug. Aerosol treat-
ment with the help of nebulizing systems can be used for children, adults
and inrm patients.

Working Principle
This unit is compact, simple to operate and convenient to carry. It uses an
oil-free, single-cylinder piston pump to produce air pressure. The airow
created by the compressor comes out of the jet outlet and then enters the

and cover together. Make sure that the two parts
t securely (gure C). The stem inside the medi-
cation cup inserts into the cap's neck.
5. Connect one end of the air tube to the medi-
cation cup and the other end to the connector
on the device (gure D).
6. Install the needed accessory on the medicine
cup: adult or pediatric mask, or mouthpiece (g-
ure E). Note: The mouthpiece is to be used for
oral inhalation only.
Operating the Unit
To operate the Nebulizer, do the following:
• Plug in the compressor but do not connect the nebulizer kit yet. Make
sure that the air lter is attached to the compressor.
• Turn on the power switch.
• After the compressor runs properly for 1-2 minutes, connect the jet outlet
of the compressor to the inlet of the nebulizer kit by the air hose.
• Begin treatment according to your physician’s instructions. Inhale and
exhale naturally. Be sure to stop when the medicine is used up.
• When you have nished, turn the compressor unit o󰀨 before
you disconnect the air hose.
Changing the Air Filter
The lter should be replaced after 100 hours
of use or when it turns grey. For lter replac-
ing, carefully pull the lid out of its housing.
Remove the old lter and t in a new one.
Install the lter holder back in its hous-
ing, making sure that it is securely xed.
Use the lters supplied by the manufacture only .
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CARRYING OUT NEBULIZING THERAPY:
• Sit down in a comfortable and upright position.
• If a mask (adult or pediatric) is used, be sure that it securely adheres
to the face. Mask has holes for the air ow during the expiration.

• Breathe easy and have a short pause at the end of each breath.
• Therapeutic application ends when the medicine comes out in a
discontinuous mode (spluttering).
• When using the mouthpiece, do not tilt the medicine cup over 45°.
UNIT MAINTENANCE
After each therapy remove the device from the socket and clean the de-
vice and the accessories. Attention: use only the accessories supplied
with the product, other accessories can lead to ine󰀨ective therapy.
Cleaning of the Mouthpiece
Use drinking water to clean carefully this accessory. It can be sterilized by
immersion in a chemical disinfectant (oxidizing electrolytic chloride), fol-
lowing disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions and rinsed o󰀨 with drinking
water. Leave to dry naturally in a clean place.
Cleaning of the Nebulizer Kit
After use, open two parts, wash with soap and hot water or soak in warm
water for 15 minutes and rinse it carefully. Remove excess of water with
a soft, clean and dry cloth and leave to dry naturally in a clean place. For
more thorough, hygienic cleaning, add some vinegar into the water. It is
recommended to use one personal medicine cup for each patient, to be
used for 6 months or 120 treatments. Do not use boiling water to clean
the nebulizer kit. Carefully wash masks and hoses with disinfectant solu-
tion only.
Contamination by Microbes
In case of pathologies of microbial or viral origin, where infection is possible, the
device and its accessories should not be shared among patients.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ
Что такое небулайзер и как он работает?
Компрессорный небулайзер представляет собой прибор, который
преобразует жидкое лекарственное вещество в мелкодисперсный
аэрозоль под воздействием сжатого воздуха. Аэрозоль содержит
крупные и мелкие частицы. При дыхании под воздействием силы
тяжести крупные частицы оседают на стенках верхних дыхательных
путей, а мелкие частицы успевают достичь нижних отделов бронхов.
Таким образом, лекарственное вещество попадает во все отделы
бронхиального дерева, включая самые мелкие бронхи и альвеолы, а
также проникает в кровеносные сосуды в стенках альвеол в высоких
терапевтических дозах при незначительных или нулевых побочных
эффектах.
Когда применяется небулайзерная терапия?
Небулайзерную терапию применяют при:
• острых респираторных заболеваниях;
• обструктивных заболеваниях легких;
• хронических воспалительных процессах дыхательных путей,
таких как хронический бронхит, бронхиальная астма (в т. ч.
при хронической, нестабильной, при тяжелом обострении БА),
хроническом фарингите;
• инфекциях дыхательных путей;
• нарушении качества секрета и его отделения в бронхах;
• различных видах кашля.
Преимущества небулайзерной терапии
Небулайзерная терапия дает возможность быстрого воздействия
на зону воспаления высокими дозами лекарства, что повышает
эффективность проводимого лечения и снижает риск побочных
действий на другие органы. Небулайзерная терапия является
наиболее экономичным способом лечения с точки зрения целевого

20
расходования лекарственного вещества, широко применяется для
детей, пожилых людей, ослабленных пациентов.
