How to use your compressor
Check the medication nebulizer cup for damage.The nebulizer cup enclosed with your compressor
should be replaced as indicated on the instructions for use (IFU) that came with your nebulizer.
Ask your healthcare provider for replacement guidelines and supplies.
Place your compressor on a firm, flat surface near an electrical outlet and in an area where
you can be seated comfortably during your treatment.
Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
Do not operate the compressor without the filter or with a clogged (dirty) filter. Operating the
compressor with a dirty filter can impair proper operation and cause damage that is not covered
by the warranty.
Wash your hands thoroughly before preparing your medication.
Assemble your nebulizer cup and add your prescribed medicine following your prescription
and the separate nebulizer instructions.
Connect one end of the tubing to the bottom of the cup and the other end of the tubing
to the air outlet on the unit.
Turn the power switch on
to begin your treatment.
When your treatment is complete, turn the power switch off
and unplug the unit.

Care and cleaning of your compressor
CAUTION:To reduce risk of electric shock, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
Unplug the compressor before cleaning.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the outside of the compressor at least once each month
(or more if necessary).
Check the filter at least once each week. Replace the filter when dirty. Replacement filters are
available where you purchased this product (Package of 4: Part No. 1060318).
To change the filter:
• Lift up the filter and remove it by twisting and pulling it straight up.
• The filter should be replaced when it becomes discolored. Do not wash or reuse the filter.
• When replacing the filter make sure it is fully inserted.
After each cleaning, check that the compressor is working properly by verifying that air still comes
out of the nozzle when the unit is turned to the “on” position.
The compressor is oil-free. Do not lubricate.
Service should only be performed by an authorized dealer. Unauthorized repair voids warranty.
