Drive DeVilbiss® Traveler Portable Compressor

A nebulizer is used to deliver drugs directly into your lungs by turning liquid medicine into a mist. Administering medication this way gets it into your respiratory system more quickly and easily.

Nebulizers treat several common respiratory conditions, including: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, and bronchitis. 

You should clean and disinfect your nebulizer after each treatment to prevent lung infections.

Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on how to clean your device. Generally, you should avoid harsh chemicals and clean the removable parts, such as the mask, tube, and mouthpiece, with warm, soapy water.

Using a clean container or bowl, soak items in three parts hot water (131ºF-149ºF/55ºC-65ºC) to one part white vinegar (>=5% acetic acid concentration) for 30 minutes or use a medical bacterial-germicidal disinfectant available through your provider. Be sure to follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

With clean hands, remove items from disinfectant solution, rinse under hot tap water, and air dry on a clean paper towel. Store in a Zip-lock® bag.

NOTE– Do not towel dry nebulizer parts; this could cause contamination.

The battery should always be stored fully charged in a cool dry place. Charge the battery continually to maintain maximum battery capacity.

If unit is not in use for extended periods, the battery should be recharged a minimum of every 3 months. It may take up to 3 charge/discharge/recharge cycles to return the battery to maximum capacity.

NOTE– When unit is not in use, disconnect battery from main unit to preserve the life of the rechargeable battery. If the battery goes for an extended period of time without recharging, the rechargeable battery will slowly discharge.
