Nebulizers turn a compatible liquid into an aerosol for inhalation. The correct device, accessories and treatment instructions depend on the model and the guidance provided by a healthcare professional. Do not assume all liquids or accessories can be used with every nebulizer.
Check the device type
Compressor and mesh nebulizers work differently and can have different cleaning requirements. Compare the exact model’s power supply, portability, treatment components and supported accessories before use.
Prepare carefully
Wash your hands and assemble the equipment as described in the manual. Use only the treatment solution and amount directed by your healthcare professional. Check that the mask or mouthpiece fits correctly and that all connections are secure.
Clean the right components
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for washing, disinfection, drying and replacement intervals. Masks, medicine containers, mesh parts, filters and air tubing may need different treatment. Do not wash or immerse the main unit, tubing or other parts unless the manual specifically permits it.
Store dry and inspect regularly
Allow permitted washable parts to dry as instructed before storage. Check components for wear or damage, and use compatible replacements. Sharing patient-contact accessories can create hygiene concerns; follow the device instructions and professional advice.
