CLEANING THE NEBULIZER COMPONENTS AND ACCESSORIES:
1. Disconnect the tubing from the compressor and from the bottom of
the nebulizer cup.
2. If there is any moisture (condensation) in the tubing, let the compressor run
with the tubing only for 2 – 3 minutes. The warm air from the compressor
will dry out the tubing. Alternatively you can dry the tubing by removing it
from the compressor and hanging it up with the "ends down" to allow the
moisture or condensation to drain out and evaporate. Use a clean damp
cloth to wipe the exterior of the tubing.
3. Disassemble tubing end of the accessories.
4. Wash all parts with warm water and liquid dish soap.
CAUTION: DO NOT WASH THE TUBING.
5. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and shake out water.
6. Air dry or hand dry nebulizer parts with a clean, lint free cloth. Reassemble
nebulizer when parts are dry and store.
7. You can also wash the reusable nebulizer (optional accessory) in the top
shelf of a dishwasher. Masks cannot be washed safely in a dishwasher.
DO NOT WASH THE TUBING. Place the parts in a dishwasher basket and
place the basket on the top rack of the dishwasher. Remove and dry parts
when the cycle is complete.
8. With proper care, disposable nebulizer kits should be replaced every 2-4
weeks, and optional reusable nebulizer kits should be replaced every 6
months.
Disposable nebulizers are NOT dishwasher safe!
DISINFECTING AND STERILIZING NEBULIZER COMPONENT:
1. Clean the nebulizer components and accessories as described in the
cleaning section. Every other treatment day, soak the parts in a solution
of one (1) part distilled white vinegar and three (3) parts hot tap water for
one (1) hour. DO NOT SOAK THE TUBING. You can substitute commercially
available respiratory equipment disinfectant for distilled white vinegar by
following manufacturer's instructions for mixing.
2. Rinse all parts thoroughly with warm tap water and dry with a clean, lint-free
cloth. Discard vinegar solution when disinfecting is complete.
Only one patient may use one set of tubing and accessories. Do not share
