Instructions For Use
1. Insert mouthpiece into side opening
of the nebulizer with the exhalation valve facing down.
2. Prior to filling the nebulizer with
medication place mouthpiece in mouth, and inhale and exhale several
times to verity the movement of the green button.
3. Unscrew and remove top of nebulizer.
Place prescribed medication into nebulizer cup. Reattach top and
gently hand tighten.
4. Attach one end of supply tubing to the
bottom of nebulizer. Attach other end of the tubing to flow meter
or compressor.
5. Set flow meter to 8 liters per minute
or turn on compressor.
6. Place mouthpiece in mouth, and inhale
slowly and deeply. As you inhale, the green button on top of the
nebulizer will move into the fully down position, indicating that
the AeroEclipse® Breath Actuated Nebulizer is producing aerosol
in response to inhalation. Exhale normally. A valve on the mouthpiece
opens allowing passive exhalation, as the green button returns
to the up position indicating no aerosol is being produced. Do
not place the lips over the exhalation valve on the bottom of
the mouthpiece. Doing so will prevent the valve from functioning
properly.
Continue to inhale from the nebulizer until
nebulizer begins to sputter, or as instructed by your physician
or qualified healthcare worker.
If you are unable to trigger the device,
(hold the green button down during inhalation), it can be manually
operated by depressing/releasing the green button in coordination
with inspiration/expiration.
