Philips RESPIRONICS SideStream HS860 Manual page 4

3 Instructions for use
You should wash your hands before handling medication or the nebulizer.
1
Connect one end of the tubing to the compressor air outlet.
2
Attach the other end of the tubing into the bottom of the medicine cup.
3
Unscrew the top from the medicine cup.
4
Pour your prescribed medication into the medicine cup, 2-10ml fill.
5
Screw the top back onto the medicine cup and connect the mouthpiece/
mask. Do not lay the SideStream down on its side, because the medication
will spill out.
It is recommended that you replace your SideStream every 6 months.
4 Taking a treatment
• To take the treatment, sit in an upright position and relax.
• Switch on the compressor, supply flow to be 6-8l/min.
• Make sure mist is visibly coming from the mouthpiece/mask.
• Take the mouthpiece between your teeth, surround it with your lips and
breathe in and out slowly through your mouth or place the mask in position
over nose and mouth and breathe slowly in and out through your mouth.
When the SideStream begins to work intermittently and 'sputters', then
the treatment is finished. There is no need to nebulize every drop of your
medication, there will always be a small amount left in the medicine cup.
