INTRODUCTION

Your doctor has prescribed a liquid medication to treat your respiratory condition. To best
utilize this liquid medication, he has prescribed a DeVilbiss brand compressor nebulizer.
Your DeVilbiss compressor nebulizer works to convert the medication to a high-quality mist
of fine particles that penetrates deep into the lungs.
Be sure that you read and understand the information in this instruction guide. By following
these simple instructions and the advice of your physician, your compressor will become an
effective addition to your therapeutic routine.

Statement of Intended Use

The DeVilbiss compressor nebulizer includes an AC powered air compressor that provides
a source of compressed air for home health care use. The compressor is used in conjunction
with a jet (pneumatic) nebulizer to convert certain inhalable drugs into an aerosol form for
inhalation by a patient. The device can be used with adult or pediatric patients.
NOTE
– If using a nebulizer other than one distributed by DeVilbiss, verify that the
pressure and/or flow characteristics of the nebulizer (while driven by the
DeVilbiss compressor) meet the nebulizer manufacturer's recommendation.
