Treatment Tips
1. If the nebulizer does produce a heavy aerosol, tap the sides of
the medication chamber to ensure the green cone is seated
properly. Ensure that the medication cup is screwed on tightly
to the reservoir tower.
2. If the nebulizer does not produce a heavy aerosol, try
cleaning the nebulizer. Residue from your medication can
build up inside the nebulizer and aect the performance is
not routinely cleaned.
3. Keep your lips sealed around mouthpiece during inspiration
and exhalation.
4. Ensure nebulizer is in a position upright or greater than a 45
degree angle.
5. After each treatment, shake out any residual medication and
store in clean place.
6. Replace your nebulizer at least once every 6 months or
sooner if it stops functioning properly.
7. To add prescribed medication, do not unscrew medication
chamber. Remove the inspiratory valve and instill medication
through the top (D).
• Maximum medication volume is 5 mL.
• Do not instill medication through the side elbow because
medication can be caught in the drool catcher.
• Replace inspiratory valve after adding medication (E).
8. To start treatment, turn on the air compressor switch.
Or, attach to gas source and set ometer 4 LPM to 8 LPM.
Check for aerosol mist coming from mouthpiece.
9. Sit upright. Close your lips around the mouthpiece. Slowly
inhale and exhale.
10. Continue treatment until medication is gone or the nebulizer
starts to sputter. 3.0 mL of medication will nebulize in about
5-7 minutes.
11. Turn o gas sources. Shake out excess uid that may be in
the nebulizer cup.
