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 passages 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 e󰀨ect 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.

posits form in the connection tube disconnect the tube from the nebu-
lizer and let it dry using the compressor air ow.
Some nebulizers are rated for intermittent operations. Please
do not operate continuously for more than rated time. See
instrument bottom panel for details.
Allow specied o󰀨 period for instrument to cool before resuming
use.
• The nebulizer is made with high quality of plastic which is safe for use.
However due to variety and continuous evolution of the drugs, the pos-
sibility of a chemical interaction cannot be excluded. Once opened, the
drug should be used as soon as possible, and prolonged contact be-
tween drug and nebulizer should be avoided.
The use of essential oils can cause damage to the Nebulizer.
Changing the Air Filter

10
Filter should be changed every 6 months or sooner if lter discolors.
• Remove lter by turning the lter cover anticlockwise and pulling out
of the unit. Discard old lter.
• Replace with a new lter Additional lters should be purchased from
your provider.
• Push new lter into position. Turn the lter cover clockwise to t in
position.
• You can use a small coin or at screwdriver to open lter.

as cotton for a air-inlet lter. It will result in compressor damage.
UNIT MAINTENANCE
All parts of the nebulizer kit, except tubing, should be cleaned according
to the following instructions. Your physician may specify a certain cleaning
procedure. If so, follow their recommendations.
To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated
medication, cleaning of the nebulizer is recommended after each
aerosol treatment. Disinfecting is recommended once a day.
Clean after Every Use
With power switch in the “OFF” position, unplug power plug.
Disconnect tubing from the air-inlet connector and set aside.
Disassemble mouthpiece, or mask from cap. Open nebulizer by turning
cap counter clock wise and removing ba󰀪e.
Wash all items, except tubing, in a warm water / dishwashing detergent
solution. Rinse under warm tap water, remove detergent residue. Allow
to air dry.
Disinfect Daily
Using a clean container or bowl, soak items for 30 minutes in three parts
warm water & one part medical bacterial-germicidal disinfectant available
through your provider. With clean hands, remove items from disinfectant
solution, rinse under warm tap water, and air dry on clean paper towel.

Store in a zip lock bag.
Keep the outer surface of the tubing dust free by wiping regularly. Nebu-
lizer tubing does not have to be washed because only ltered air passes
through it.
Note: Do not towel dry nebulizer parts, this could cause contamination.
It is recommended to replace the medication nebulizer medicine cup
once a year or as directed by your doctor.
The Nebulizer kit is recommended for single patient use only to prevent
cross infection.
To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated cleaning
solutions, always prepare fresh solution, for each cleaning cycle
and discard solution after each use.
Clean the nebulizer kit before using for rst time after purchase.
Compressor Сleaning
• With power switch in the “OFF” position, unplug power from wall outlet plug.
• Wipe outside of the compressor cabinet with a clean damp cloth to
keep dust free.
Do not submerge in water, doing so will result in compressor damage.
Maintenance
Electric shock hazard. Do not disassemble compressor cabinet. All
disassembly and maintenance must be done by a qualied service
provider.
To completely isolate the device from the power source unplug the power
plug from the power source.
Functional test
• Before use check the parts are connected properly and securely
