Nebulizers

HOW TO USE

Before starting make sure have your nebulizer plugged in and ready to use.  Make sure to wash your hands prior to putting your medicine in.

1. All nebulizers have a medication cup.  Open the medication cup and fill with the medication as prescribed by your medical provider. Replace cap.

2. Attach one end of the tubing to the Nebulizer and the other end to the medication cup.

3. Attach either a mouthpiece or a mask to the end of our medication cup.

4. If using a mouthpiece seal your lips tightly around the mouthpiece. If using a mask place mask firmly to face.

5. Turn on your nebulizer; take slow deep breaths in through the mouth, Continue till all the medication is gone. (About 10 minutes)
