How to use DeVilbiss Pulmo-Aide Compressor Nebulizer?

1. Start by placing the Devilbiss Compact Compressor on a smooth, level surface so that the controls can be easily reached when seated. Do not block the air openings of the compressor or place it on a soft surface, such as bed, couch or patient lap where the air openings may be blocked.
2. Make sure the power switch is in the "Off" position. Power cord is then unwrapped and plugged into an appropriate wall outlet. Plug Devilbiss 3655D Pulmo Aide Machine into a grounded wall outlet.
   Note: Pulmo-Aide Compact Compressor Nebulizer System must be operated on the specified power source to avoid risk of electric shock and damage to the compressor.
3. Wash hands.
4. One end of nebulizer tubing is then connected to the compressor air-outlet connector.
   Note: During high-humidity weather conditions, condensation (water build up) can occur in the nebulizer tubing.
5. Assemble clean Devilbiss nebulizer and add prescribed medication.
6. Assemble mouthpiece, corrugated tubing, t-piece (if applicable) and insert into the top of the nebulizer cap. When you are using an aerosol mask, insert the bottom of the mask into the top of the nebulizer cap directly.
7. Attach tubing to nebulizer air-inlet connector.
8. Press the power switch "On" to start the Pulmo Aide Compact Compressor.
9. Begin treatment by placing the mouthpiece between teeth. Keeping your mouth closed, inhale slowly and deeply through mouth as aerosol begins to flow, then exhale slowly through the mouthpiece. If treatment needs to be interrupted, simply press power switch "Off".
   Note: Your physician may recommend a specific breathing pattern during treatment. If so, follow his/her recommendations.
10. If an aerosol mask is used, place the mask over mouth and nose. As aerosol begins to flow, inhale deeply and slowly through mouth, then exhale slowly.
11. When treatment is complete, turn unit off by pressing the power switch to the "Off" position. Unplug the unit from the wall power outlet.
