introduction
2
Your doctor has prescribed a liquid medication to treat your respiratory condition. To best
utilize this liquid medication, he has prescribed a Drive brand compressor nebulizer. Your
Drive 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 Drive 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.
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 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 benets. 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 exible tubing, generates a specic pressure and ow 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 ne 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.

DRIVE PACIFICA ELITE COMPRESSOR/NEBULIZER MODEL 18070
.............................................................................................................
How Do I Take a Treatment?
A nebulizer is the optimal delivery method of medication to the lungs. However, some users
may nd it difcult 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 for 1-2 seconds unless directed otherwise by your physician
and then slowly exhale through the nebulizer mouthpiece or mask. Holding your breath for
1-2 seconds 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.
