The portable compressor/nebulizer must be operated on the specified power source to avoid risk of electric shock
and damage to the compressor.
1. Wash hands.
2. Connect one end of the nebulizer tubing to the compressor air-outlet connector (Fig. 1).
note– During high-humidity weather conditions, condensation (water build-up) can occur in the nebulizer tubing. If this
occurs, after the treatment operate the unit with the tubing connected but without the nebulizer to dry the tubing.
3. Assemble clean nebulizer parts by placing baffle down in medication cup. Add prescribed medication into the
medication cup (Fig. 2). Holding cup stationary, screw on nebulizer cap (Fig. 3).
4. 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.
5. Attach tubing to nebulizer air-inlet connector (Fig. 4).
6. Press the power switch “ON” to start the compressor.
7. 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. 5). If treatment needs to be
interrupted, simply press power switch and insert neb or tubing into the holder (Fig B).
note– Some physicians may recommend a specific breathing pattern during treatment. If so, follow their recommendation.
8. If an aerosol mask is used, place the mask over mouth and nose (Fig. 6). As aerosol begins to flow, inhale deeply
and slowly through mouth, then exhale slowly.
9. When treatment is complete, turn unit off by pressing the power switch. Unplug the unit from the wall power outlet if
using the AC adapter.

1. The battery indicator light will illuminate red if battery voltage is low during operation with battery.
2. Recharge the battery by inserting plug of the either the AC or DC adapter into the power socket of the device while
battery is installed (Fig A). The charging time is 4-12 hours. The battery indicator light will illuminate orange during
the charging operation and turn green when fully charged (Fig B). Normal battery life is approximately 250 full
charge/discharge cycles under normal conditions and if properly maintained.
note– For a new rechargeable battery, the first charge will take at least 24 hours.
note– Battery will not charge while device is in use. Charging the battery
continually between treatments is recommended.
Caution– Make sure battery poles do not come in contact with keys, coins or
other metal objects that can short circuit battery poles.
proper Care for the Rechargeable Battery
1. The battery should always be stored FULLY CHARGED in a cool dry place.
2. Charge the battery continually to maintain maximum battery capacity.
3. If unit is not in use for extended periods, the battery should be recharged a minimum of every 3 months. It may take
up to 3 charge/discharge/recharge cycles to return the battery to maximum capacity.
note– When unit is not in use, disconnect battery from main unit to preserve the life of the rechargeable battery. If the
battery goes for an extended period of time without recharging, the rechargeable battery will slowly discharge.
NEBuLIzER CLEaNINg
All parts of the nebulizer, except tubing, should be cleaned according to the following instructions. Your physician and/or
DeVilbiss provider may specify a certain cleaning procedure. If so, follow their recommendations.
WaRNINg
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. When the unit is turned off, 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.
