1. Remove stoppers (C) and (D) from nebulizer ports. Separate nebulizer base (H) and vapor
tube (B) at point (E) by unscrewing. Remove medication.
2. With thumb and index fingers, using a lifting motion, carefully remove jet (G).
3. Nebulizer plastic parts and mouthpiece should be rinsed with hot tap water after every use by removing bulb (I) from neb-
ulizer base (H), and cleaned at least once a day. Your physician or dealer may specify a certain cleaning procedure. If so,
follow their recommendations.
4. Using two clean plastic containers or bowls, fill one with hot water and dishwashing detergent for washing, the other with
hot water and vinegar solution (one part vinegar to three parts water) for soaking.
5. Place nebulizer plastic parts and mouthpiece in bowl of detergent solution and clean thoroughly. Remove and rinse with
clear hot tap water, then soak in vinegar solution for 30 minutes. Rinse with hot tap water and air dry.
6. Nebulizer plastic parts EXCLUDING mouthpiece (A), o-ring (F), and bulb (I) may also be sterilized by boiling.
7. If using medical disinfectant cleaners, follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
8. Keep the outer surface of the bulb (I) dust-free by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. CAUTION—Never permit water or med-
ication to enter bulb as it will cause bulb to become prematurely brittle.
9. After parts are thoroughly dried, reassemble bulb (I) to nebulizer base (H). Carefully replace jet (G) to original position in
