INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Pediatric Compressor Nebulizer. Please read this
instruction manual completely before using your unit to ensure safe and eective use,
as well as long life of the product.
Compressor nebulizers are used to eciently deliver medication in the form of a mist to the
lungs. Prescribed medicine is placed in the nebulizer and the compressor blasts air through
the liquid medication, converting it to an aerosol mist which is then inhaled. This method
of delivery is benecial in the treatment of asthma and other respiratory ailments, as the
medicine is administered directly to the bronchial passages of the lungs to provide quick and
eective relief. With proper use and care, your new nebulizer will provide you with many years
of safe, eective breathing therapy treatments.
Federal law allows nebulizers to be sold by a physician’s prescription only. These
devices should be used only at the direction of a doctor or healthcare professional and
should be used only as intended and described in this manual.

USING YOUR NEBULIZER
Before the rst use of the nebulizer or if the unit has not been used for an extended period of
time, it should be cleaned thoroughly as described in the Cleaning and Disinfection section
of this manual.
The patient receiving treatment should be seated or slightly reclined in a comfortable position
as treatments take several minutes. Keep in mind that the nebulizer cup must remain vertical
during treatment.
1. Place the compressor unit on a at, stable surface within operating range of the patient
and an electrical outlet. Ensure that the air vents on the side of
the unit housing are not blocked or obstructed.
2. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
3. Attach one end of the air tube to the tube connector at the back
of the unit, Fig. 1. Turn on the power briey to ensure that the
unit is functioning properly and test that air is coming through
the tubing, then turn the power o. Fig. 1
Disposable Nebulizer (INCLUDED)
Depending upon the individual treatment program, the disposable
nebulizer should last approximately 2 weeks. Worn out or
cracked nebulizers can aect the particle size, compromising the
eectiveness of the medication delivery.
Reusable Nebulizer (NOT INCLUDED)
Depending upon the individual treatment program, a reusable
nebulizer should last approximately 6 months of once-daily use.
A reusable nebulizer must still be cleaned after each use and
inspected for cracks or other imperfections before each use.

USING YOUR NEBULIZER
Compressor nebulizers contain a powerful compressor motor which may heat up the
unit if it is left running too long or if the vents are blocked while operating. The unit
will automatically shut o if the temperature of the unit becomes too high.
If this occurs, follow these steps:
1. Turn the power o and disconnect the power cord.
2. Wait at least 30 minutes until the unit has cooled down completely.
3. Turn the unit back on.
4. If the unit heats up too quickly or emits any unusual noises beyond the normal sound of
the compressor motor, contact Customer Care at 866-326-1313.

12 • ENGLISH
The nebulizer and mouthpiece should be thoroughly cleaned after each use and disinfected
each day if on a regular therapy program unless a dierent cleaning regimen is specied by
your healthcare professional; additional hygienic precautions may be required for use with
high-risk patients.
The masks, mouthpieces, tubing and nebulizer are not dishwasher safe. The below instructions
are for manual cleaning and disinfecting of your nebulizer and mask pieces.
Cleaning:
1. Ensure that the power cord is
disconnected from the power outlet.
2. Disconnect the air tube, nebulizer and
mouthpiece. Do not wash or submerge
the air tubing.
3. Disassemble the nebulizer by twisting
the top and bottom and separating the
pieces, Fig 1-2.
4. The nebulizer and mouthpiece or mask
should be washed in warm water,
using a mild detergent. Do not wash or
submerge the air tubing; if necessary,
wipe the outside of the tubing with a damp cloth taking care not to get water inside the
tubing.
5. Allow the nebulizer and mouthpiece to air dry completely, or dry them thoroughly with
a clean, soft towel. Do not store any parts wet as remaining moisture creates a risk of
bacterial growth.
6. Occasionally wipe the body of the unit with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Only
clean the body of the unit when it is unplugged and completely cool.
Never use soap pads or powder cleanser to clean any part of the unit. Never use any cleaning
products that may be harmful when swallowed or inhaled.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

ENGLISH • 13
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Disinfection:
The nebulizer should be disinfected once daily, after the last use of the day, unless a dierent
disinfection regimen is specied by a healthcare professional. Disinfect the nebulizer as
follows:
1. Ensure that the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.
2. Disconnect the air tube, nebulizer and mouthpiece. Do not wash or submerge the
tubing.
3. Disassemble the nebulizer by twisting the top and bottom and separating the pieces.
4. Rinse the nebulizer and mouthpiece or mask with hot water. Mix one part white vinegar

mouthpiece or mask.
5. Submerge the nebulizer and mouthpiece or mask in the water and vinegar mixture for
thirty minutes.
6. Rinse the nebulizer and mouthpiece or mask thoroughly with water.
7. Allow the nebulizer and mouthpiece to air dry completely, or dry them thoroughly with
a clean, soft towel. Do not store any parts wet as remaining moisture creates a risk of
bacterial growth.
NOTE: Condensation may collect in the air tubing. If this occurs, the moisture must be
completely removed, following these steps:
1. Disconnect the air tubing from the nebulizer, but keep it plugged into the air tubing
connector port on the unit.
2. Turn the power on and allow the compressor to run until all moisture has dried.
Nebulizers and tubing should be replaced as needed depending on the frequency of therapy
treatments or when damaged, cracked or holes appear in the tubing. To order replacement
parts, use the included order form, call Customer Care at 866-326-1313 or contact your local
dealer.

14 • ENGLISH
CHANGING THE FILTER

dealer.
• Do not substitute cotton or any other materials for the lters.
• Do not attempt to clean the lters or reuse a lter.
To replace the lter, follow these steps:
1. Change the lter only when the unit is o,
unplugged and completely cool.
2. Gently pull the lter cap out of the
compressor.

ENGLISH • 15
TROUBLESHOOTING
The nebulizer produces no aerosol, or a small amount of aerosol.
• There may be too much or too little medicine in the nebulizer. The amount of liquid
should be between 1.0 ml and 6.0 ml.
• The hose connectors may be blocked and need to be cleaned
• The nebulizer may not be held upright. Always hold the nebulizer vertically during use.
• The medication may not be suitable for nebulization. Check with your doctor.
• The lter may be in need of replacement
• The air hose may be kinked
Some medicine remains in the nebulizer at the end of my treatment.
This is normal. Once you hear a signicant dierence in the sound of the nebulizer, you may
stop inhaling.
What medications can be used in the nebulizer?
Only medications prescribed by your doctor should be used in the nebulizer.
Should any special steps be taken for pediatric users?
Children should never use the nebulizer without adult supervision. For use with babies
and children, the mask should cover the mouth and nose completely to ensure eective
inhalation.
Treatments with the mask takes longer than treatments with the mouthpiece.
This is normal. Less medication is delivered per breath with the mask because the aerosol is
combined with ambient air through the holes in the mask.
Can I share the nebulizer with another person?
No. Each user must have their own nebulizer to ensure proper hygiene. The compressor unit
may be shared but the nebulizer mouthpiece, and mask pieces may not.
Why must the nebulizer be replaced yearly?
Regular wear on the nebulizer can aect the composition and delivery of the medicine.
Regular replacement of the nebulizer is also hygienic.
