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 Model 3655 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 Sunrise Medical, verify that
the pressure and/or flow characteristics of the nebulizer (while driven by the
Model 3655) meet the nebulizer manufacturer’s recommendation.

9. Attach tubing to nebulizer air-inlet connector
(
Fig. 5).
10. Press the power switch “On” to start the compressor.
11. Begin treatment by placing the mouthpiece
between teeth. With mouth closed, inhale
deeply and slowly through mouth as aerosol
begins to flow, then exhale slowly through the
mouthpiece (
Fig. 6). If treatment needs to be
interrupted, simply press power switch “Off”.
NOTE– Some physicians recommend a “clearing breath”
after every five to seven treatment breaths.
Remove mouthpiece from mouth and hold
breath for at least five seconds (ten is better),
then exhale slowly.
12. If an aerosol mask is used, place the mask over
mouth and nose (
Fig. 7). As aerosol begins to
flow, inhale deeply and slowly through mouth,
then exhale slowly.
13. When treatment is complete, turn unit off by
pressing the power switch to the “Off” position.
Unplug the unit from the wall power outlet.

Figure 7
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR COMPRESSOR
NOTE– Before initial operation, your nebulizer should be
cleaned following cleaning instructions, or as recommended by your physician or Sunrise provider.
1. Make sure the power switch is in the “Off” position (
Fig. 1).
2. Unwrap power cord.
3. Place compressor so that the rubber feet are
resting on a level, sturdy surface (
Fig. 2) and
upon which 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.
4. Plug power cord into an appropriate wall outlet.
DANGER
DeVilbiss compressor/nebulizer must be operated on the specified power source to avoid risk
of electric shock and damage to the compressor.
5. Wash hands.
6. Connect one end of the nebulizer tubing to the
compressor air-outlet connector (
Fig. 2).
NOTE– During high-humidity weather conditions, con-
densation (water build up) can occur in the
nebulizer tubing.
7. Assemble clean nebulizer parts by placing baffle
down in medication cup. Add prescribed medication into the medication cup (
Fig. 3).
Holding cup stationary, screw on nebulizer cap
(
Fig 4).
8. Assemble mouthpiece and t-piece (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.

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 filtered air passes through it.
NOTE– The DeVilbiss 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. Sunrise also manufactures the DeVilbiss Reusable Nebulizer
that is dishwasher safe and may be cleaned and reused for up to one year.
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 filter discolors.
2. Remove filter
(Fig. A) by grasping it firmly and pulling out of the unit.
Discard old filter.
3. Replace with a new DeVilbiss filter (part #3655D-601). Additional filters should
be purchased from your Sunrise provider.
4. Push new filter into position.
CAUTION– Do not reuse or wash filter or substitute any other material such as cotton
for a DeVilbiss air-inlet filter. It will result in compressor damage.
MAINTENANCE
All maintenance must be performed by a qualified Sunrise provider or authorized service center.
DANGER
Electric shock hazard. Do not remove compressor cabinet. All disassembly and
maintenance must be done by a qualified Sunrise provider.
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 procedure. If so, follow their recommendations.
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 baffle.
4. Wash all items, except tubing, in a hot
water/dishwashing detergent solution. Rinse
under hot tap water for 30 seconds to remove
detergent residue. Allow to air dry.
Disinfect Daily:
1. Using a clean container or bowl, soak items in
three parts hot water to one part white vinegar
for 30 minutes (
Fig. 8) OR use a medical bacte-
rial-germicidal disinfectant available through
your provider. For reusable nebulizer only, clean
daily in dishwasher using top shelf. Be sure to
follow manufacturer's instructions carefully.
2. With clean hands, remove items from disinfectant
solution, rinse under hot 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.
CAUTION– The DeVilbiss Reusable Nebulizer is dish-
washer safe, but do not place any disposable nebulizer parts in an automatic dishwasher; doing so could cause damage.
