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.
Switch off the the PARI TREK® S Compressor and let it cool down before restarting. If
the PARI TREK® S Compressor does not start after it is switched on after cooling for 30
minutes, please allow another few minutes for the compressor to cool and try again.
TREATMENT TIMES:
Patients who use a 2.5ml volume fill will typically find that the PARI
•
TREK® S Compressor will deliver the treatment in less than 10 minutes.
Treatment time depends upon breathing volume, patient's age and disease state.
