NEBULIZER THERAPY – WHAT IS IT?
NEBULIZER IS A DEVICE FOR FORMATION AND SPRAYING OF AEROSOL. THE WORD
“NEBULIZER” IS DERIVED FROM THE LATIN WORD “NEBULA” (FOG, CLOUD) AND WAS
FIRST USED IN 1874 FOR A DEVICE THAT TURNS A LIQUID SUBSTANCE INTO AN AERO-
SOL FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES. ONE OF THE FIRST PORTABLE “AEROSOL APPARA-
TUSES” WAS CREATED BY J. SALES-GIRONS IN PARIS IN 1859. THE FIRST NEBULIZERS
WERE USED AS STEAM JET ENERGY SOURCES AND WERE APPLIED FOR INHALA-
TION THE VAPORS OF RESINS AND ANTISEPTICS BY TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS.
PRESENTLY, THE TERM “INHALER” IS OFTEN USED INSTEAD OF “NEBULIZER”.
The purpose of the nebulizer therapy is to quickly deliver to the respiratory passages a therapeutic
doze of a preparation in aerosol form. Continuous supply of aerosol allows, within several minutes,
creating high concentration of a medicine in the upper and lower respiratory passages and lungs,
with low probability of any by-effects. Respectively, effective bronchodilation (bronchi expansion) is
reached, and the need for hospitalization is eliminated or the hospital stay is reduced.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Compressor nebulizer LD is designed for treating the diseases of respiratory passages and lungs
by medicine solution aerosols in clinic and at home.
This Instruction Manual is designed to assist the user with safe and effective operation of the
Compressor Nebulizer LD.
Use this Device according to the rules described in this Manual. Operate the Device only as
intended. Do not use the Device for any other purposes. Read and understand the whole Instruction
Manual
.
Functionally, the device consists of an air compressor and nebulizer (aerosol formation chamber).
The air compressor, on/off power switch and air filter are united in one casing. From the air com-
pressor, the compressed air is fed through a pipe to the nebulizer, where aerosol is formed. For
cooling the compressor, air is force-feed into the device’s casing.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Recommended for all types of standard inhalation solution in liquid form for inhalation ther-
apy, produced by pharmaceutical companies.
•
Solutions for inhalation have to be prepared under sterile conditions on the basis of 0.9% sodium chloride as a
solvent. DO NOT USE WATER (EVEN BOILING) or distilled water to prepare inhalation solution. Dishes,
which is preparing the solution, previously should be disinfected by boiling.
