Nebulizer Cleaning
All parts of the nebulizer, except tubing, should be cleaned according to the following
instructions. Your physician and/or Drive provider may specify a certain cleaning procedure.
If so, follow their recommendations.
To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated
medication, cleaning of the nebulizer is recommended after
each aerosol treatment. Disinfecting is recommended once a day.
In order to decrease the risk of contamination, nebulizer cups are for single patient use only.
Clean After Every Use:
1.
With power switch in the " Off" position, unplug power cord from wall outlet.
2.
Disconnect tubing from the air-inlet connector and set aside.
3.
Disassemble mouthpiece or mask from cap. Open nebulizer by turning cap
counterclockwise and remove baffle.
4.
Wash all items, except tubing, in a hot water/dishwashing detergent solution.
Rinse under hot tap water for 30 seconds to remove detergent residue. Allow to
air dry.
5.
For reusable nebulizer only, it can be cleaned daily in dishwasher using top shelf
or by following the above cleaning procedure.
The Drive Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher safe, but do not place
any Drive Disposable Nebulizer parts in an automatic dishwasher;
doing so could cause damage.
Disinfect Daily
1.
Using a clean container or bowl, soak items in three parts hot water to one part
white vinegar for 30 minutes OR use a medical bacterial-germicidal disinfectant
available through your provider. Be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions care-
fully.
2.
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.
To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated cleaning
solutions, always prepare fresh solution for each cleaning cycle
and discard solution after each use.

Do you have a question about the Power Neb Ultra 18080 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Why is my nebulizer so noisy?
Was sent two solutions: sodium chloride 7% solution and Albuterol Sulfate 0.083% solution. Do I put both solutions in the cup or inhale one, then put the other separately and then inhale the albuterol sulfate
The tubing between compressor and cup overheats and pops off...usually at the cup. This continues after changing the filter and with a variety of cups. It's 4.5 years old. Any suggestions?
Possible solutions for overheating tubing and disconnection issues with the Drive Power Neb Ultra 18080 include:
1. Avoid continuous operation over 30 minutes: The unit has a thermal interrupt safety device that may shut off the device if it overheats due to extended use.
2. Allow the unit to cool: If the thermal interrupt trips, wait for the unit to cool before using it again.
3. Do not modify the equipment: Modifications can affect safety features and operation.
4. Ensure proper setup: Position the equipment so it is easy to operate and cords/tubes are not strained or entangled.
5. Keep tubing dust-free and check for wear: Wipe tubing regularly and ensure secure connections to avoid disconnection.
6. Replace disposable nebulizer as needed: It lasts at least 15 days; using it beyond its life may affect performance.
If issues persist, contact a qualified Drive provider for maintenance.
