How does the compressor nebulizer system work?

The Pulmo-Aide Compact Compressor Nebulizer System converts liquid medication into a fine mist that can be inhaled into the lungs. The medication is placed in the nebulizer cup, which is then connected to the compressor via the tubing kit. The nebulizer compressor then delivers compressed air to the nebulizer cup, which converts the medication into a mist for inhalation.

How to use Devilbiss 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 a bed, couch, or patient lap, where the air openings may be blocked.
2. Make sure the power switch is in the "Off" position. The power cord is then unwrapped and plugged into an appropriate wall outlet. Plug the Devilbiss breathing machine into a grounded wall outlet.
   Note: Must be operated on the specified power source to avoid the risk of electric shock and damage to the compressor.
3. Wash hands.
4. One end of the nebulizer tubing is then connected to the compressor air-outlet connector.
   Note: During high-humidity weather conditions, condensation (water buildup) can occur in the nebulizer tubing.
5. Assemble the clean Devilbiss nebulizer and add the prescribed medication.
6. Assemble the mouthpiece, corrugated tubing, and t-piece (if applicable) and insert them 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 the teeth. Keeping your mouth closed, inhale slowly and deeply through the mouth as aerosol begins to flow, then exhale slowly through the mouthpiece. If treatment needs to be interrupted, simply press the 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 the mouth and nose. As aerosol begins to flow, inhale deeply and slowly through the mouth, then exhale slowly.
11. When treatment is complete, turn the unit off by pressing the power switch to the "Off" position. Unplug the unit from the wall power outlet.

How to clean?

Nebulizer cleaning:
Clean After Every Use:

1. With the power switch in the “Off” position, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Disconnect the tubing from the air-inlet connector and set aside.
3. Disassemble the mouthpiece or mask from the cap. Open the nebulizer by turning the cap counterclockwise and removing the baffle.
4. Wash all items, except tubing, in a warm water/dishwashing detergent solution. Rinse under warm tap water for 30 seconds to remove detergent residue. Allow to air dry.
5. For reusable nebulizers only, clean daily in a dishwasher using the top shelf.

Caution: The reusable nebulizer is dishwasher safe, but do not place any disposable nebulizer parts in an automatic dishwasher; doing so could cause damage.
Disinfect Daily:

1. Using a clean container or bowl, soak items in three parts warm water (131˚F-149ºF/55˚C-65˚C) to one part white vinegar (>=5% acetic acid concentration) for 30 minutes (Fig. 7) OR use a medical bacterial-germicidal disinfectant available through your provider. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
2. With clean hands, remove items from the disinfectant solution, rinse under warm tap water, and air dry on a clean paper towel. Store in a zip-lock bag.

Note: Do not towel dry nebulizer parts; this could cause contamination.
Compressor cleaning

1. With the power switch in the "Off" position, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Wipe the compressor cabinet from the outside with a clean, damp cloth every few days to keep it dust-free.
   Note: Do not submerge in water; doing so will result in compressor damage.
