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 follow- ing 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 Sunrise Medical, verify that the pressure and/or flow characteristics of the nebulizer (while driven by the DeVilbiss compressor) meet the nebulizer manufacturer’s recommendation.
