3-2. NEBULIZER AND ACCESSORIES SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
1. Tubing and accessories are for single patient use only. Do not share your tubing and accessories with other
patients.
2. To reduce the risk of increased bacterial growth, infection, illness, or injury from contamination, thoroughly
clean and dry all parts and accessories and thoroughly dry at the end of every treatment, following the
instructions below.
3. Cleaning the Nebulizer unit after each treatment is not enough—accessories must also be regularly sterilized
and disinfected between treatments to prevent serious or fatal illness caused by contamination.
4. Never use tubing with a clogged nozzle. If the nozzle is clogged, the aerosol mist will be reduced, altered or
stopped, which will diminish or eliminate the effectiveness of the treatment. If clogging occurs, replace with
the same model.
5. Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by or near children and physically or mentally
impaired persons. Never use when sleeping or drowsy.
6. This product contains small parts that may present a choking hazard to small children. The tubing also
presents a strangulation hazard.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE CLOSE ADULT SUPERVISION WHEN ADMINISTERING
TREATMENT TO A CHILD. DO NOT LEAVE CHILD UNATTENDED DURING TREATMENT.
7. Children under the age of 3 or any patient who is unable to use a mouthpiece properly under supervision
should use a mask (optional).
8. Before use, check tubing and accessories for proper assembly. All parts should be seated firmly in place. Use
of improperly assembled tubing and accessories could diminish or prevent adequate delivery of medication
and the effectiveness of the treatment.
4. GETTING STARTED
1. Check to ensure the following components of the nebulizer are enclosed:
• Compressor unit
• Tubing and Accessories (See page 3 for illustration of parts)
If you did not receive the components listed, please contact the dealer where you purchased
your Nebulizer.
2. It is always a good idea to keep extra tubing and accessories and an extra air filter on hand at
all times. You may need them if parts become lost, damaged, or soiled.
