Using An AeroEclipse® XL Reusable
Nebulizer
Many medications are available as inhaled treatments. Inhaled
methods deliver medication directly to the airway, which is
particularly useful for respiratory problems. The patient and health
care provider can choose from a variety of delivery systems for
inhaling medication.
A nebulizer delivery system consists of a nebulizer (small plastic
medication cup with a lid that drops into the cup and twists) and a
source for compressed air. The air flow from
the compressor to the nebulizer changes the
medication solution to a mist. When inhaled
correctly, the medication has a better chance
to reach the small airways. This increases
the medication's effectiveness.
Assembling the AeroEclipse
1. Place the compressor and nebulizer on a clean, flat, hard
surface. The compressor should be placed where it can safely
reach its power source and where you can reach the ON/OFF
switch.
2. Connect the air tubing from the compressor to the nebulizer
base.
Preparing the Medication
1. Wash your hands prior to preparing each treatment.
2. Always use a clean nebulizer.
3. Untwist and remove the medication cup from the nebulizer unit.
4. Measure the correct dose of medication and other solutions
prescribed by your health care provider.
5. Put the medication and other solutions into the medication cup.
6. Replace the top of the nebulizer. Gently twist the top to tighten.
7. Ensure the nebulizer is kept in an upright position so your
medicine doesn't spill.
