Using Your Nebulizer - Veridian Healthcare 11-511 Manual De Instrucciones

USING YOUR NEBULIZER

Before the first use of the nebulizer or if the unit has not been used for an extended period of
time, it should be cleaned thoroughly as described in the Cleaning and Disinfection section
of this manual.
The patient receiving treatment should be seated or
slightly reclined in a comfortable position as treatments
take several minutes. Keep in mind that the nebulizer
cup must remain vertical during treatment.
1. Place the compressor unit on a flat, stable surface
within operating range of the patient and an
electrical outlet. Ensure that the air vents on
the side of the unit housing are not blocked or
obstructed and that the power is off.
2. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
3. Attach one end of the air tube to the tube
connector at the back of the unit, Fig. 1. Turn on the
power briefly to ensure that the unit is functioning
properly and test that air is coming through the
tubing, then turn the power off.
Reusable Nebulizer (INCLUDED)
Depending upon the individual treatment program, a resuable nebulizer
should last approximately 6 months to a year. Worn out or cracked nebulizers
can affect the particle size, compromising the effectiveness of the medication
delivery. Be sure to inspect the nebulizer for damage before each use.
