Setting Up Your Nebulizer

• Assemble the Unit: Follow the instructions to connect the air tubing from the compressor to the nebulizer cup.
• Add Medication: Fill the nebulizer cup with the prescribed medication, following your healthcare provider’s dosage instructions.
• Attach the Mouthpiece or Mask: Connect your choice of mouthpiece or mask to the nebulizer cup. Ensure a secure fit to prevent medication leakage.

Operating Your Nebulizer

• Power On: Simply turn on the device using the on/off switch. The machine will start to deliver the medication as a fine mist.
• Inhale the Medication: Breathe deeply and steadily through the mouthpiece or mask to ensure the medication reaches deep into your lungs.
• Complete the Session: Continue your session until the medication cup is empty, usually within 5-7 minutes, indicating a quick and efficient treatment.

Maintenance and Care

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, disassemble the nebulizer cup and wash all parts in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry on a clean towel. Visit our cleaning solutions products.
• Check for Wear: Regularly inspect all parts of the nebulizer for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn parts immediately to maintain optimal performance.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Reduced Mist Output: Ensure there are no blockages in the tubing or nebulizer cup and that the compressor is functioning correctly.
• Noise During Operation: Some noise is normal, but if the compressor becomes excessively loud, check for loose parts or contact customer service.
• Medication Leaks: If medication leaks from the cup, ensure all connections are tight and the cup is correctly assembled.

Enhancing Treatment Effectiveness

• Optimal Positioning: For best results, sit upright during your nebulization sessions. This positioning helps the medication to be more effectively delivered to your lungs.
• Scheduled Maintenance: Follow the recommended schedule for replacing filters and servicing the compressor to ensure your nebulizer continues to operate efficiently.
