cover and medication cup by
pulling straight up,
Fig. 1.
2. Select either tap or distilled
water* that has a temperature
range of 68ºF – 104ºF
(20ºC – 40ºC),
Fig. 2.
*Distilled water is preferred.
3. Fill the water reservoir with

Fig. 3.
Remember: Do not use solutions other than water
in the reservoir. It may damage the transducer —
Fill to the correct level.
NOTE:
• The use of cool water (below 68ºF or 20ºC)
will result in a lower rate of nebulization.
• The use of warm water (above 104ºF or 40ºC)
will result in a higher rate of nebulization.
To fill the medicine cup,
1. Place the medicine cup above the water
reservoir.
2. Pour the medicine directly into the medicine
cup.
3. Replace the cover.
Remember:
• The maximum capacity of the medicine
cup is 7.5 ml. and should not be overfilled.
• Dilute dense medications or medication
volumes 2 ml. or less with distilled water or
saline solution to obtain a volume of at least
4 ml.
• Only use medications under the instructions
of your physician.
Using the AC adapter, DC
adapter or battery pack
Your Nebulizer operates by use of the AC
adapter, DC adapter or battery pack, all
included with your Nebulizer.
Using the AC adapter and
DC adapter,
1) Insert the adapter plug into
the unit’s AC/DC port,
Fig 4.
2) Plug the adapter into a
standard AC outlet or DC
outlet.
NOTE: It is not necessary to install the
battery pack when using AC or DC voltage.
However, you may wish to install the battery
pack for stability and storage purposes.
Using the battery pack,
Your Ultrasonic Nebulizer can operate with the
use of a rechargeable battery when AC or DC
power is not available. The life of the battery is
approximately 2 years. However, battery life
will vary depending on usage, storage and
charging conditions.
1) Snap the battery pack to the
bottom of the nebulizer,
Fig. 5.
2) Connect the adapter plug
into the unit as described
above, “Using the AC
adapter, DC adapter”.
3) To charge the battery, plug
the adapter into a standard
outlet, based on the
following:
Charging Time
1st Time use:
24 hours
Thereafter:
4-12 hours
4) Unplug the adapter after the battery is fully
charged.
IMPORTANT:
•
For first time use or after storing the
battery for a period of time, charge the
battery at least 24 hours. Thereafter, it is
only necessary to charge 4 to 12 hours
depending on the length of usage.
•
A fully charged battery will last for 20-30
minutes of continuous use.
•
To prolong the life of the battery, only
charge the battery when the low-battery
light flashes.
volumes 2 ml. or less with distilled water or
saline solution to obtain a volume of at least
4 ml.
• Do not use this unit while operating a vehicle.
• If any discomfort or abnormality occurs,
stop using the unit immediately.
Storage Cautions
• Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high
temperature or humidity.
• Keep the unit out of reach of small children.
• Always keep the unit unplugged while not
in use.
Cleaning Cautions
• Check the medication cup, air filter, masks,
gasket, extension tube, mouth and nasal pieces
and air filter before each use. Dirty or worn parts
should be replaced.
• Do not immerse the unit in water. It may
damage the unit.
• Disconnect the unit from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.
• Clean all necessary parts after each use as
instructed in this guidebook.
Battery Cautions
• Do not use the battery with equipment other
than your MiniBreeze Ultrasonic Nebulizer,
or attempt to modify it for other use.
• Do not store the battery in direct sunlight,
high temperature or high humidity.
• Avoid placing the battery on metal or wet
surfaces or inside a metal box. This may
short-circuit the battery’s positive and
negative contact causing the battery to
heat up or explode.
