2. Observe the nebulizer as the air flow begins. If you cannot
visually observe an aerosol mist coming out of the nebu-
lizer, replace it with another Salter Labs nebulizer.
3. Begin treatment by placing the nebulizer mouthpiece be-
tween your teeth. Close your mouth. Inhale deeply and
slowly as the aerosol begins to flow. Hold your breath for
several seconds, then exhale slowly.
4. If a Salter Labs aerosol mask is being used, position the
mask over your nose and mouth. Inhale deeply and slowly
through your mouth as the aerosol begins to flow. Hold
your breath for several seconds, then exhale slowly.
5. Continue treatment until aerosol mist is no longer coming
out of the nebulizer. Press the power switch to the off posi-
tion to turn the compressor off. Remove and clean the nebu-
lizer according to its instructions.
CAUTION
– In high humidity conditions, water buildup
can occur in the compressor tubing. If this occurs, turn
the compressor on and run it for several minutes before
connecting the medication container.
CAUTION
– Cold temperature may result in poor com-
pressor performance. Allow the unit to warm to room
temperature for best results.
