Instruction Manual
INTRODUCTION
Be sure to read these instructions completely before use.
Thank you for purchasing the Aeroneb®Go Nebulizer.
Certain conditions such as asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease) and cystic fibrosis require that prescribed
liquid medication be turned into a fine mist, called an aerosol,
and then inhaled into the lungs.The Aeroneb®Go turns liquid
medication into an aerosol, which you can then inhale through
a mouthpiece or an aerosol mask into your lungs.
The Aeroneb®Go uses the unique OnQ™Aerosol Generator,
which is unlike any other nebulizer technology available.When
you turn on your nebulizer,OnQ pumps liquid through tiny
holes in a wafer-thin metal plate to create a soft mist aerosol.
The Aeroneb®Go, for use by pediatric and adult patients, is
intended to aerosolize physician-prescribed solutions for
inhalation that are approved for use with a general-purpose
nebulizer.Designed with your needs in mind, the Aeroneb
Go is lightweight, compact and silent. The control module
operates with three (3) "AA" disposable batteries, or can
alternatively be powered by the AC/DC Adapter or AC
Controller.
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician.
Operate this unit only as instructed by the Aeroneb®Go
Instruction Manual. Thoroughly read and understand the
information contained in these instructions before using the
Aeroneb®Go.
For future reference, SAVE AND REFER TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
