MODEL 151
This vacuum-type atomizer is especially designed for use
with aqueous solutions in nose and throat treatment, irri-
gation and cleaning of wounds, and for those solutions
that tend to crystallize. The metal inner tube around which
crystals usually form is easily removed and cleaned. This
atomizer supplies a fine mist without force, and is
equipped with a small diameter tube that can be inserted
well up into the nasal passages. The spray tube is remov-
able for sterilization.
TO USE
—To secure best results, fill bottle not more than
two-thirds full. The atomizer may be operated with either
compressed air or hand bulb. If hand bulb is used, grasp
the bulb firmly using the fingers against the palm of the
hand rather than two or three fingers against the thumb.
TO CLEAN
—Unscrew the inner tube and wipe clean. The
illustrations below show details of the cleaning operation.
Disassemble the atomizer by rotating the cap in a counter-
clockwise direction. The spray tube assembly can be
removed from the cap by rotating in a counterclockwise
direction.

—Autoclave (remove the plastisol bulb and
black washer). Use
1
⁄
3
bleach to
2

water for not more than
10-15 minutes. Vanisol, Alconox, Cidex, and Blue Chip are
some of the many commercial sterilizing solutions on the
market. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions for
mixing and using these products. After cleaning, be sure to
rinse atomizer with warm or hot water and air dry before
adding medication. The Sterrad 100S System is also com-
patible.

MODEL 15-RD
DeVilbiss Atomizers are quality instruments that provide
the benefits of spray application shown in the following
illustrations. If they
are kept clean and
used as instructed,
they will be com-
pletely satisfactory
in both operation
and service.
Illustrations are based on x-ray research.
TO USE
—Fill bottle to shoulder. Grasp bulb firmly, using
fingers against palm of hand. When spraying throat,
REMOVE nasal guard. Swing spray tip up or down to direct
spray as desired. When spraying nose, unless the physician
has otherwise directed, slip nasal guard over spray tip,
allowing end of tip to protrude through opening.
TO CLEAN
—Use a fine wire and follow directions given
with illustrations below.
Place a key or screwdriver
between spray tubes and turn,
spreading tubes apart, leaving key
in place. Remove atomizer tip.
Insert a fine wire into point of
tip A, cleaning the two passages
shown. Be sure to insert wire
until visible in openings B & C.
After replacing atomizer tip, ensure that it is firmly in
place between spray tubes. Failure to do so may result in
the tip being blown into the body, with possible injury.

solutions on the market. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
directions for mixing and using these products. After clean-
ing, be sure to rinse atomizer with warm or hot water and air
dry before adding medication. Or, the all-metal spraying parts
of this atomizer make it especially suitable for heat steriliza-
tion. The Sterrad 100S System is also compatible.
To replace atomizer tip
, attach it to one of the tubes - make
sure the grooved side is on the bottom – turn and remove
key. Atomizer tubes snap into position.
