Who should be using this product?
Nebulizers are for individuals experiencing short-term respiratory concerns such as the common cold or those with long-term care needs due to Asthma, COPD, or cystic-fibrosis. Prescribed by health providers, nebulizers help to provide quick medication delivery to the lungs to relax constricted airways and work with your natural breathing.
How do you use this product?
Nebulizers work by turning liquid (either saline, prescribed medication, or both) into a mist that’s inhaled through the mouth and nose through a mask or mouthpiece.
- Place liquid into the nebulizer cup.
- Connect the cup to a nebulizer mask or mouthpiece and secure using the adjustable strap (if using a mask).
- Using tubing provided in the kit, connect one end to the nebulizer cup and the other to the machine.
- Turn the machine on and begin to breathe normal breaths in through your mouth. The pressurized air from the compressor breaks the liquid down into a mist (vapor) which is absorbed into the lungs which provides relief from inflamed airways and easier breathing. Absence of a mist indicates that either the medicine and treatment time is complete or a disconnection with the mask and tubing. Simply check the nebulizer cup to assess.
Clean your nebulizer after each use, and disinfect your nebulizer every other time you use it. Replace masks and nebulizer cups every 4 to 6 months is recommended. If parts become cracked or worn, replace them immediately.
