NEBULIZER SET UP (Note: Nebulizer is not sterile)
1. Thoroughly read and follow the Nebulizer Set Up in the Instructions for Use that are enclosed with the
PARI Reusable Nebulizer.

NEBULIZER TREATMENT
1. Take your treatment as directed by your physician.
2. The PARI Reusable Nebulizer has two valves that open and close during the nebulizer treatment when
the Mouthpiece is used. These valves help to maximize aerosol delivery and minimize medication waste.
3. Sit in a relaxed, upright position and press the black On/Off Switch (Refer to Page 2) to turn on the
PARI TREK
S compressor.
®
4. Place the Mouthpiece on top of your tongue and close your lips around the Mouthpiece. Take slow deep
breaths to inhale the aerosol medication slowly. Refer to Page 5 Figure E. As you inhale, the valve on the
Inspiratory Valve Cap opens.
5. Exhale slowly through your mouth. As you exhale, the Expiratory Valve on the Mouthpiece opens,
releasing your exhaled aerosol. At the same time, the Inspiratory Valve closes on the top of the nebulizer
which reduces waste.
6. Continue steps 4 and 5 until the medication is gone or you hear a "sputtering" noise. Press the black On/
Off Switch to turn off the PARI TREK
S Compressor.
®
The PARI TREK
S Compressor is protected by a thermal switch. If the PARI TREK
S Compressor
®
®
has reached its temperature limit it will automatically turn off to prevent damage to the PARI TREK
S
®
Compressor. In the unlikely event this occurs, the PARI TREK
S Compressor may need approximately 30
®
minutes to cool down prior to resuming the treatment.
