USING YOUR NEBULIZER
7. Position the mouthpiece at the patient's
mouth.
Remember that masks should cover the
patients mouth and nose, mouthpieces
should be in the mouth with the lips
closed around the end of the mouthpiece.
8. Turn the Power switch on to begin
treatment. Inhale deeply and exhale
normally. Ensure the nebulizer is vertical
during treatment for proper nebulization
of the medication and to prevent spilling
of the liquid.
9. If the vapor output becomes sporadic or if
the noise the unit makes changes during
use, turn off the unit and consult the
TROUBLESHOOTING section of this
instruction manual.
10. When the treatment is complete, turn the
unit off and unplug it from the outlet.
11. Disassemble, clean and store your
nebulizer. Be certain that the nebulizer
pieces are completely dry before storage.
