Drive Compact Compressor Nebulizer

People with breathing problems, such as Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

(COPD) or Cystic Fibrosis are often prescribed medicines that minimize or control symptoms of their disease. Compressor Nebulizer Systems are a means of delivering these prescribed medications to the lungs. These medications and the compressor nebulizer systems should be used as directed by a physician to maximize benefits. Compressor Nebulizer systems can be prescribed for use everyday or periodically as symptoms present themselves, such as the springtime when Hay Fever or Allergies are normally present.

Most medicines for use with a compressor nebulizer system are created in a liquid form. This liquid medication is placed in the "cup” of the nebulizer (please refer to this Instruction Guide for more information on the proper use of a nebulizer). The compressor, which is connected to the nebulizer by flexible tubing, generates a specific pressure and flow of air that essentially "drives” the nebulizer. The pressurized air produced by the compressor initiates the nebulizer’s ability to break down the liquid medication into a very fine mist. This mist, often referred to as an aerosol cloud, is then propelled out the nebulizer and inhaled into the lungs where the medicine is readily absorbed. Please consult your prescription for details on the amount of liquid medication that should be placed in the nebulizer. If you should have any questions about your medication or its use, please contact your physician or pharmacist.
