OPERATION
3.Connect the long hose end of the coiled Duratube to the inlet on the bottom of the Sidestream.
4.Connect either the mouthpiece (supplied) or face mask (optional) to the Sidestream nebulizer.
NOTE: Freeway Lite is designed to nebulize 2.5 - 5cc of medication, 3 to 4 times each day.
TAKING THE TREATMENT
1.Turn the Freeway Lite ON and the Sidestream will produce a fine mist.
2.It is suggested that you are as relaxed as possible and are sitting in an upright position to obtain the maximum benefit from the treatment.
3.It is suggested that two (2) or three (3) deeper breaths are interspersed with gentle lower chest breathing.
4.When the Sidestream begins to work intermittently and “spits”, then the treatment has finished. There is no need to nebulize every drop of your medication as there will always be a small amount left in the chamber.
AFTER THE TREATMENT
1.Disconnect Sidestream from the tubing by gently twisting the tubing.
2.Rinse out the nebulizer and refill with a little clean water.
3.Reconnect the tubing and run the Freeway Sidestream again for a few seconds in order to flush out any of the medication that has become trapped in the nebulizer jets.
4.Disconnect Sidestream from the tubing and disassemble it into three (3) pieces.
5.Wash all the parts thoroughly in hot soapy water.
6.Refer to the MAINTENANCE Section in this manual for additional care and clean- ing information.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should you use a cleaning brush, needle or paperclip to clean the center baffles or jet holes of the Sidestream. This seriously affects the particle size thus giving less effective treatment.
