3 Instructions for use
You should wash your hands before handling medication or the nebulizer.
1
Connect one end of the tubing to the compressor air outlet.
2
Attach the other end of the tubing into the bottom of the medicine cup.
3
Unscrew the top from the medicine cup.
4
Pour your prescribed medication into the medicine cup, 2-10ml fill.
5
Screw the top back onto the medicine cup and connect the mouthpiece/
mask. Do not lay the SideStream down on its side, because the medication
will spill out.
It is recommended that you replace your SideStream every 6 months.
4 Taking a treatment
• To take the treatment, sit in an upright position and relax.
• Switch on the compressor, supply flow to be 6-8l/min.
• Make sure mist is visibly coming from the mouthpiece/mask.
• Take the mouthpiece between your teeth, surround it with your lips and
breathe in and out slowly through your mouth or place the mask in position
over nose and mouth and breathe slowly in and out through your mouth.
When the SideStream begins to work intermittently and ‘sputters’, then
the treatment is finished. There is no need to nebulize every drop of your
medication, there will always be a small amount left in the medicine cup.
SideStream
Reusable high efficiency nebulizer
1 Important
The SideStream is a compressor-driven nebulizer designed to convert liquid
medication into aerosol for inhalation by the patient.
Please carefully read and understand these instructions before using this product.
If you do not understand any portion of these instructions, contact your
healthcare provider or call Customer Service at 1-800-345-6443 or
1-724-387-4000.
Warning
• Clogged jets or improper assembly may prevent proper delivery of medication.
• To reduce the risk of infection, clean and disinfect the nebulizer between
treatments.
Caution
• Do not try to remove the red jet from the medicine cup. This is
permanently attached.
• Do not towel dry the unit and never use a cleaning brush or put sharp objects
into the jet holes or baffles as this will damage the nebulizer.
• Sidestream reusable is not suitable for use in a ventilator circuit.
• Do not remove top when connected to gas supply.
• Use of 22mm male connectors may reduce output rate.
2 Getting ready
Upon receipt of your SideStream
We recommend that you boil your reusable SideStream (except for tubing) in
water (minimum 212° F) with 2–3 drops of dishwashing liquid for 10 minutes.
This ensures maximum performance.
