SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 fine 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 flow characteristics of the nebulizer (while driven by the
DeVilbiss compressor) meet the nebulizer manufacturer’s recommendation.
What Are Compressor Nebulizer Systems Used For?
People with breathing problems, such as Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD) or Cystic Fibrosis are often prescribed medicines that minimize or control
5
A-36 55X
EN
INTRODUCTION
symptoms of their disease. Compressor Nebulizer Systems are a means of delivering these
prescribed medications to the lungs. These medications and the compressor nebulizer
systems should be used as directed by a physician to maximize benefits. Compressor
Nebulizer systems can be prescribed for use everyday or periodically as symptoms present
themselves, such as the springtime when Hay Fever or Allergies are normally present.
How Does a Compressor Nebulizer Work?
Most medicines for use with a compressor nebulizer system are created in a liquid form.
This liquid medication is placed in the “cup” of the nebulizer (please refer to this Instruction
Guide for more information on the proper use of a nebulizer). The compressor, which is
connected to the nebulizer by flexible tubing, generates a specific pressure and flow of air
that essentially “drives” the nebulizer. The pressurized air produced by the compressor
initiates the nebulizer’s ability to break down the liquid medication into a very fine mist. This
mist, often referred to as an aerosol cloud, is then propelled out the nebulizer and inhaled
into the lungs where the medicine is readily absorbed. Please consult your prescription for
details on the amount of liquid medication that should be placed in the nebulizer. If you
should have any questions about your medication or its use, please contact your physician or
pharmacist.
How Do I Take a Treatment?
A nebulizer is the optimal delivery method of medication to the lungs. However, some users
may find it difficult to use, especially very young children. In this case, an aerosol mask may
be used. To ensure that the proper mask is utilized, please consult your home health
provider or physician.
The most important aspect of taking a treatment is the patient’s breathing pattern while
inhaling the medication mist.
It should be slow and deep, all attempts should be made to sit up straight and breathe in
deep.
A general rule of thumb is to attempt to breathe in so deeply that it feels as though the
lungs are completely full of air and inhaling any additional air is impossible.
If possible, hold your breath unless directed otherwise by your physician and then slowly
exhale through the nebulizer mouthpiece or mask. Holding your breath after inhaling the
medication allows for optimal absorption of medication in the lungs.
Repeat this breathing pattern for the entire treatment.
The length of a treatment can last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the
amount of medication and the performance of your compressor and nebulizer system.
When you cannot see any medication in the nebulizer cup and the nebulizer has stopped
producing a mist, the treatment has been completed. Turn off your compressor and follow
the Cleaning instructions found in this instruction guide.
If you have any additional questions regarding your equipment, medication, or treatment,
please consult your physician.
