4. Operating Instructions

Once the nebulizer is assembled, follow these steps for proper operation:

1. Prepare Medication: Open the nebulizer kit and pour the prescribed amount of medication into the medication cup. Do not overfill.
2. Close Nebulizer Kit: Securely close the nebulizer kit by twisting the top section back onto the medication cup.
3. Connect to Power: Plug the compressor unit's power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
4. Start Treatment: Press the power switch on the compressor unit to turn it on. The nebulizer will begin producing a fine mist.
5. Inhale Medication:
   • If using a mouthpiece, place it between your teeth and seal your lips around it. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth, then exhale slowly.
   • If using a mask, place it over your nose and mouth, ensuring a comfortable seal. Breathe normally.
6. Continue Treatment: Continue breathing until all the medication has been nebulized, or until the mist stops forming. This typically takes 5-15 minutes, depending on the medication volume and nebulization rate.
7. Turn Off Unit: Once treatment is complete, press the power switch to turn off the compressor unit and unplug it from the power outlet.
