How To Care for Nebulizer?

1. After each treatment, rinse the nebulizer cup thoroughly with warm water, shake off excess water, and let it air-dry. At the end of each day, wash the cup and mask or mouthpiece in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse it thoroughly and let it air-dry. You don’t need to clean the compressor tubing.

2. Every third day, after washing your equipment, disinfect it with either a vinegar/water solution or a disinfectant solution. To make the vinegar solution, mix ½ cup of white vinegar with 1½ cups of water. Soak the equipment for 20 minutes and rinse it well under a steady stream of water. Shake off the excess water and let it air-dry on a paper towel. Be sure it’s totally dry before storing it in a zippered plastic bag.

How To Store?

1. Cover the compressor with a clean cloth when you’re not using it. Wipe it with a clean, damp cloth if necessary.

2. Don’t put the air compressor on the floor, either for treatments or for storage.

3. Store medications in a cool, dry place. Some need to be kept in a refrigerator, and others should be kept out of the light. Check them often. If they’ve changed color or formed crystals, throw them out and replace them.

Other tips

Always have an extra nebulizer cup and mask or mouthpiece on hand. If you get a breathing treatment in your doctor’s office, ask for the tubing, cup, and mask.

Follow the equipment directions on checking, cleaning, and replacing the filter on the air compressor.
