9. Press the power switch "On" to start the com-
pressor.
10. Begin treatment by placing the mouthpiece
between teeth. With mouth closed, inhale
deeply and slowly through mouth as aerosol
begins to flow, then exhale slowly through the
mouthpiece (Fig. 7). If treatment needs to be
interrupted, simply press power switch "Off".
NOTE– Some physicians recommend a "clearing breath"
after every five to seven treatment breaths.
Remove mouthpiece from mouth and hold
breath for at least five seconds (ten is better),
then exhale slowly.
11. If an aerosol mask is used, place the mask over
mouth and nose (Fig. 8). As aerosol begins to
flow, inhale deeply and slowly through mouth,
then exhale slowly.

NEBULIZER CLEANING

All parts of the nebulizer, except tubing, should be
cleaned according to the following instructions. Your
physician and/or Sunrise provider may specify a certain
cleaning procedure. If so, follow their recommendations.
To prevent possible risk of infection from cont-
aminated medication, cleaning of the nebulizer
is recommended after each aerosol treatment.
Disinfecting is recommended once a day.
Clean After Every Use:
1. With power switch in the "Off" position,
unplug power cord from wall outlet.
2. Disconnect tubing from the air-inlet connector
and set aside.
3. Disassemble mouthpiece or mask from cap.
Open nebulizer by turning cap counterclockwise
and removing baffle.
4. Wash all items, except tubing, in a hot
water/dishwashing detergent solution. Rinse
under hot tap water for 30 seconds to remove
detergent residue. Allow to air dry.

Disinfect Daily:
1. Using a clean container or bowl, soak items in three parts hot water to one
part white vinegar for 30 minutes (Fig. 9) OR use a medical bacterial-germici-
dal disinfectant available through your provider. For reusable nebulizer only,
clean daily in dishwasher using top shelf. Be sure to follow manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
2. With clean hands, remove items from disinfectant solution, rinse under hot 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.
CAUTION– The DeVilbiss Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher safe, but do not place any
disposable nebulizer parts in an automatic dishwasher; doing so could
cause damage.
To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated cleaning solutions,
always prepare fresh solution for each cleaning cycle and discard solution
after each use.
3. Keep the outer surface of the tubing dust-free by wiping regularly. Nebulizer
tubing does not have to be washed because only filtered air passes through it.
NOTE– The DeVilbiss Disposable Nebulizer will last at least 15 days and possibly longer,
depending on usage. Proper cleaning will also help extend the life of the nebu-
lizer. Because it is disposable, we recommend that an extra nebulizer be kept on
hand at all times. Sunrise also manufactures the DeVilbiss Reusable Nebulizer
that is dishwasher safe and may be cleaned and reused for up to one year.
