5. CLEANING
It is recommended that the nebulizer and the mask (or other patient accessory
interface used) are thoroughly cleaned with hot water after each use and cleaned
with a mild detergent after the last treatment of the day. If your physician or
respiratory therapist specifies a different cleaning procedure, follow their
instructions.
CAUTION:
Before cleaning, make sure the power cord is disconnected from the main outlet
and the unit.

patient accessory interface from the nebulizer.

the nebulizer.
3. Rinse the nebulizer and mask (or other patient interface) with water.
4. Let these components air dry, away from direct sunlight.
5. Reassemble the nebulizer when completely dry and put these parts in a dry,
sealed container.
