during treatment.

and an electrical outlet.
2. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.

that the unit is functioning properly and test that air is
coming through the tubing, then turn the power off.

Disposable Nebulizer
Depending upon the individual treatment program, the disposable
nebulizer should last approximately 2 weeks. Worn out or cracked
nebulizers can affect the particle size, compromising the effective-
ness of the medication delivery.
Reusable Nebulizer
Depending upon the individual treatment program, a reusable neb-
ulizer should last approximately 6 months of once-daily use. A
reusable nebulizer must still be cleaned after each use and inspected
for cracks or other imperfections before each use.
