E. CLEANING YOUR PARI
REUSABLE NEBULIZER
1. Disconnect the tubing from the air intake on the
bottom of the nebulizer cup.
2. If there is any moisture (condensation) in the tubing,
let the compressor run with only the tubing attached
for 2-3 minutes. The warm air from the compressor
will dry out the tubing. Alternatively, you can dry
the tubing by removing it from the compressor and
hanging it up with the “ends down” to allow any
moisture (condensation) to drain out and evaporate.
Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the exterior of
the tubing.
3. Disassemble reusable nebulizer parts as illustrated
on page 3.
4. Wash all parts with warm water and liquid dish soap.
DO NOT WASH THE TUBING.
5. Rinse the reusable nebulizer parts thoroughly with
warm water and shake out water.
6. Air dry or hand dry nebulizer parts on a clean, lint-
free cloth. Reassemble nebulizer when parts are dry
and store.
7. You can also wash all parts of the reusable nebulizer
on the top shelf of a dishwasher. DO NOT WASH
TUBING. Place the reusable nebulizer parts in a
dishwasher basket, then place the basket on the top
rack of the dishwasher. Remove and dry the parts
when the dishwasher cycle is complete.

1. Nebulizer for single patient use (one person) only. Do
not share your nebulizer with other patients.
2. You must regularly disinfect or sterilize the nebulizer
between treatments. Failure to do so could lead to
serious or fatal illness.
