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 proce-
dure. If so, follow their recommendations.
To prevent possible risk of infection from contami-
nated medication, cleaning of the nebulizer is rec-
ommended 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/dish-
washing detergent solution. Rinse under hot tap
water for 30 seconds to remove detergent residue.
Allow to air dry.
5. For reusable nebulizer only, clean daily in dishwash-
er using top shelf.
CAUTION– The DeVilbiss Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher
safe, but do not place any DeVilbiss Disposable
