3. Keep the outer surface of the tubing dust-free by wiping regularly. Nebulizer tubing does
not have to be washed because only filtered air passes through it.
NOTE
The Drive Disposable Nebulizer will last at least 15 days and possibly
longer, depending on usage. Proper cleaning will also help extend the life
of the nebulizer. Because it is disposable, we recommend that an extra
nebulizer be kept on hand at all times. The Drive Reusable Nebulizer is
dishwasher safe and may be cleaned and reused for up to one year.
Compressor Cleaning
1.
With power switch in the "Off " position, unplug power cord from wall outlet.
2.
Wipe outside of the compressor cabinet with a clean damp cloth every few
days to keep dust-free.
Do not submerge in water; doing so will result in compressor
damage.
Filter Change
1.
Filter should be changed every 6 months
or sooner if filter discolors.
2.
Remove filter by grasping it firmly and pulling
out of the unit. Discard old filter.
3.
Replace with a new Drive filter. Additional
filters should be purchased from your
Drive provider.
4.
Push new filter into position.
Do not reuse or wash filter or substitute any other material
such as cotton for a Drive air-inlet filter. It will result in
compressor damage.
Maintenance
All maintenance must be performed by a qualified Drive provider or authorized service
center.
Electric shock hazard. Do not remove compressor cabinet.
All disassembly and maintenance must be done by a qualified
Drive provider.

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.
