This device is designed to efciently deliver
physician-prescribed medication to the bronchial
lung passages. With proper care, it will provide
you with many years of reliable treatment.
This device is intended for use in the treatment of respiratory
disorders. It functions by creating a stream of compressed air
which, when it enters the nebulizer, converts a liquid solution
of medication into an aerosol mist for easy inhalation. This
system should only be used as prescribed by a physician,
with the prescribed medication.
We encourage you to thoroughly read this instruction manual
to learn about the features of this product. Any use of this
device other than its intended use should be avoided.

water. Do not immerse the power cord or the unit in any
liquid. Do not use while bathing. Do not reach for a unit
that has fallen into water – immediately unplug the unit.
2. Never operate the nebulizer if it has any damaged parts
(including power cord) or if it has been dropped
or submersed in water.
3. The compressor should not be used where ammable
gas, oxygen or aerosol spray products are being used.
4. Disconnect the compressor from the electrical outlet
before cleaning or lling and immediately after each use.
5. Do not use attachments other than those that come
with this product: this may damage the unit.
WARNING: DO NOT USE for longer than
20 minutes at one time. Always allow at least
40 minutes between uses before using again.
Extended use beyond 20 minutes or failure to
follow this warning can cause overheating of
the motor and damage this device.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from
electrocution, re or burns, or damage to the unit:
6. Before use, check the serial number label on the
bottom of the compressor unit to ensure that the
voltage and current indicated on the label correspond
to the voltage and current available.
7. Keep all electrical cords away from heated surfaces.
Do not overload wall outlets or use extension cords.
8. Never drop or insert any object in the compressor’s
openings.
9. Do not open or disassemble this product, or spray
liquids on the compressor’s housing. If experiencing
difculties, send to a medical equipment service center
for inspection and repair.
10. Do not use the nebulizer while operating a vehicle.
11. EMI/RFI recommendations:
a) Do not turn on or use hand-held personal
communication devices such as a cell phone,
an ipod or a CB radio while the compressor is
turned on.
b) Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio,
television, microwave, etc.) and avoid operating
the compressor close to these types of transmitters.
c) Always unplug the compressor immediately after
each use.
d) Be aware that adding accessories or components,
or modifying the compressor, may make it more
susceptible to EMI/RFI.
e) Never block the air openings of the compressor or
place it where the air openings may be obstructed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Nebulizer and accessories safety precautions
12. The tubing and accessories are for single-patient use
only. Do not share tubing and accessories.
13. To reduce the risk of increased bacterial growth, infection,
illness or injury from contamination, thoroughly clean
and dry all parts and accessories and thoroughly dry
the tubing of any moisture or condensation at the end of
every treatment, following the instructions in this manual.
14. Cleaning the nebulizer unit after treatment is not
enough: the accessories must also be regularly
sterilized and disinfected between treatments, to
prevent serious or fatal illness caused by contamination.
15. Never use tubing with a clogged nozzle. If the nozzle
is clogged, the aerosol mist will be reduced, altered
or stopped, which will diminish or eliminate the
effectiveness of the treatment. If clogging occurs,
replace with the same model.
16. Close supervision is necessary when this product is used
by or near children and/or physically or mentally impaired
persons. Never use this unit when sleeping or drowsy.
17. This product contains small parts that may represent
a choking hazard for small children. The tubing also
represents a strangulation hazard.
WARNING: Always ensure close adult supervision
when administering treatment to a child. Do not
leave a child unattended during treatment.
18. Children under the age of 3, as well as any patient who
is unable to correctly use this unit with a mouthpiece
under supervision, should use a mask.
19. Before use, ensure that the tubing and accessories are
installed rmly in place. Use of improperly assembled
tubing or accessories could alter delivery of medication,
and therefore the effectiveness of treatment.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Disconnect the tubing from the compressor and from
the bottom of the nebulizer cup.
2. If there is any moisture (condensation) in the tubing, let
the compressor run with only the tubing attached to it
for 2-3 minutes. The warm air from the compressor will
dry out the tubing. Alternatively, you can dry the tubing
by removing it from the compressor and hanging it with
the ends down to allow the moisture or condensation
to drain out and evaporate. Use a clean damp cloth to
wipe the tubing’s exterior.
3. Disassemble the accessories.
4. Wash all parts with warm water and liquid dish soap.
DO NOT WASH THE TUBING.
5. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and shake to remove
remaining water.
6. Air dry or hand dry the nebulizer parts on a clean,
lint-free cloth. Reassemble nebulizer when parts
are dry and store until next use.
7. You can also wash the accessories in the dishwasher’s
top rack. Masks cannot be washed safely in the
dishwasher. DO NOT WASH THE TUBING. Place
the parts in a dishwasher basket and place the basket
on the top rack of the dishwasher. Remove and dry
when the washing cycle is complete.

10
1. Clean the nebulizer components and accessories as
described on page 9. Every other treatment day, soak
the components in a solution of 1 part distilled white
vinegar and 3 parts hot tap water for 1 hour.
DO NOT SOAK THE TUBING. You can substitute
commercially available respiratory equipment
disinfectant for the vinegar – follow manufacturer’s
instructions for mixing.
2. Rinse all parts thoroughly with warm tap water and dry
with a clean, lint-free cloth. Discard vinegar solution
when disinfecting is complete.
3. Tubing and accessories must be stored properly
and must be sterilized periodically after use.
The tubing and accessories are for single-patient
use only. Do not share tubing and accessories with
other users.
4. To clean the compressor unit, wipe with a clean,
damp cloth.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Air lter: The air lter on the top panel of the compressor
unit is bright white or yellow when new. With use, it will turn
grey, which means that it needs to be replaced. A new lter
should last up to 500 hours of use before it needs to be
replaced. The lter also needs to be replaced immediately
if it gets wet or becomes clogged. To replace the air lter,
ensure that the compressor is turned off, then open the air
lter cover to take out the air lter and replace it with a new
one. Place the cap back into the socket of the compressor
and snap the lter cover back in place.
NOTE: Do not attempt to wash and reuse the air lter.
Do not use substitute lter material, as the nebulizer might
get damaged.
Never operate the nebulizer if it is improperly or
incompletely assembled, or damaged. Only use MedPro
parts, accessories, tubing and attachments for the
nebulizer. For information about accessories, visit:
www.amgmedical.com or ask your pharmacist. Use of other
parts, accessories, tubing or attachments may damage
the nebulizer or cause improper function. Do not open or
disassemble the compressor unit at any time. This action
will void the warranty. Repairs, service and maintenance
should be carried out only by a technician.
