INTRODUCTION
Your doctor has prescribed a liquid medication to treat your respiratory condition. To best utilize this liquid medication, he
has prescribed a DeVilbiss brand compressor/nebulizer. Your DeVilbiss compressor/nebulizer works to convert the
medication to a high-quality mist of ne particles that penetrates deep into the lungs.
Be sure that you read and understand the information in this instruction guide. By following these simple instructions and
the advice of your physician, your compressor will become an effective addition to your therapeutic routine.
Statement of Intended Use
The DeVilbiss compressor/nebulizer includes an AC powered air compressor that provides a source of compressed air for
home health care use. The compressor is used in conjunction with a jet (pneumatic) nebulizer to convert certain inhalable
drugs into an aerosol form for inhalation by a patient. The device can be used with adult or pediatric patients.
NOTE– If using a nebulizer other than one distributed by DeVilbiss, verify that the pressure and/or ow characteristics of
the nebulizer (while driven by the DeVilbiss compressor) meet the nebulizer manufacturer’s recommendation.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR COMPRESSOR
NOTE– Before initial operation, your nebulizer should be cleaned following cleaning
instructions, or as recommended by your physician or DeVilbiss provider.
1. Place compressor on a level, sturdy surface so that the controls can be easily
reached when seated. Never block the air openings of the product or place it on a
soft surface, such as a patient’s lap or a bed or couch where the air openings may be
blocked.
2. Make sure the power switch is in the “Off” position (Fig. 1). Unwrap power cord and
plug power cord into an appropriate wall outlet (refer to Specications). Plug model
3655 into a grounded wall outlet.
DANGER
DeVilbiss compressor/nebulizer must be operated on the specied power source to
avoid risk of electric shock and damage to the compressor.
3. Wash hands.
4. Connect one end of the nebulizer tubing to the compressor air-outlet connector
(Fig. 2).
NOTE–During high-humidity weather conditions, condensation (water build up) can occur in
the nebulizer tubing.
5. Assemble clean nebulizer and add prescribed medication (Fig. 3).
6. Assemble mouthpiece, t-piece, and corrugated tubing (if applicable) and insert into
the top of the nebulizer cap. If using an aerosol mask, insert the bottom part of the
mask directly into the top of the nebulizer cap.
7. Attach tubing to nebulizer air-inlet connector (Fig. 4).
8. Press the power switch “On” (Fig. 1) to start the compressor.

9. Begin treatment by placing the mouthpiece between teeth. With mouth closed, inhale
deeply and slowly through mouth as aerosol begins to ow, then exhale slowly through
the mouthpiece (Fig. 5). If treatment needs to be interrupted, simply press power
switch “Off.”
NOTE–Your physician may recommend a specic breathing pattern during treatment. If so,
follow his/her recommendations.
10. If an aerosol mask is used, place the mask over mouth and nose (Fig. 6). As aerosol
begins to ow, inhale deeply and slowly through mouth, then exhale slowly.
11. When treatment is complete, turn unit off by pressing the power switch to the “Off”
position. Unplug the unit from the wall power outlet.
NEBULIZER CLEANING
All parts of the nebulizer, except tubing, should be cleaned according to the following
instructions. Your physician and/or DeVilbiss provider may specify a certain cleaning
procedure. If so, follow their recommendations.
WARNING
To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated medication, cleaning of the
nebulizer is recommended 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 bafe.
4. Wash all items, except tubing, in a warm water/dishwashing detergent solution. Rinse
under warm tap water for 30 seconds to remove detergent residue. Allow to air dry.
5. For reusable nebulizer only, clean daily in dishwasher using top shelf.
CAUTION– The reusable nebulizer is dishwasher safe, but do not place any disposable
nebulizer parts in an automatic dishwasher; doing so could cause damage.
Disinfect Daily:
1. Using a clean container or bowl, soak items in three parts warm water
(131˚F-149ºF/55˚C-65˚C) to one part white vinegar (>=5% acetic acid
concentration)
for 30 minutes (Fig. 7) OR use a medical bacterial-germicidal
disinfectant available through your provider. Be sure to follow manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.
2. With clean hands, remove items from disinfectant solution, rinse under warm tap water,
and air dry on a clean paper towel. Store in a zip-lock bag.
NOTE– Do not towel dry nebulizer parts; this could cause contamination.
WARNING
To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated cleaning solutions, always
prepare fresh solution for each cleaning cycle and discard solution after each use.
3. Keep the outer surface of the tubing dust-free by wiping regularly. Nebulizer tubing
does not have to be washed because only ltered air passes through it.
NOTE– The disposable nebulizer will last at least 15 days and possibly longer, depending on
usage. Proper cleaning will also help extend the life of the nebulizer. Because it is
disposable, we recommend that an extra nebulizer be kept on hand at all times. The
reusable nebulizer is dishwasher safe and may be cleaned and reused up to 6 months.

COMPRESSOR CLEANING
1. With power switch in the “Off” position, unplug power cord from wall outlet.
2. Wipe outside of the compressor cabinet with a clean damp cloth every few days to keep dust-free.
DANGER
Do not submerge in water; doing so will result in compressor damage.
FILTER CHANGE
1. Filter should be changed every 6 months or sooner if lter discolors.
2. Remove lter (Fig. A) by grasping it rmly and pulling out of the unit. Discard old lter.
3. Replace with a new DeVilbiss lter (part #3655D-601). Additional lters should be purchased from your DeVilbiss
provider.
4. Push new lter into position.
CAUTION– Do not reuse or wash lter or substitute any other material such as cotton for a DeVilbiss air-inlet lter. It will
result in compressor damage.
MAINTENANCE
All maintenance must be performed by a qualied DeVilbiss provider or authorized service center.
DANGER
Electric shock hazard. Do not remove compressor cabinet. All disassembly and maintenance must be done by a
qualied DeVilbiss provider.
