A nebulizer and a compressor are used together to give a dose of Pulmozyme.
A nebulizer changes the Pulmozyme liquid medicine into a fine mist inhaled by breathing through a mouthpiece. A compressor gives the nebulizer power and makes the nebulizer work.
Pulmozyme should only be used with the approved nebulizers and compressors or with a recommended vibrating mesh nebulizer.
Any other inhaled medicines should not be used in the nebulizer at the same time. Keep all other inhaled medication systems completely separate from Pulmozyme.
A mask should not be used. The mouthpiece provided with each nebulizer kit should be used.
If a child cannot breathe in or breathe out by mouth, you may use the PARI BABY™ reusable nebulizer, but should first discuss it with a doctor. The PARI BABY™ nebulizer is the same as the PARI LC Plus Jet system, except the mouthpiece is replaced by a tight-fitting face mask connected to an elbow piece.
Read and follow the nebulizer manufacturer’s instruction manual for correct use and maintenance:
Step 1. Clean a flat table surface and wash your hands
Step 2. Gather the nebulizer and test the compressor
Step 3. Gather the Pulmozyme ampule and check the expiration date
Step 4. Check the Pulmozyme ampule
Step 5. Attach the tube to the compressor
Step 6. Attach the mouthpiece.
Step 7. Remove the cap from the cup
Step 8. Open the Pulmozyme ampule
Step 9. Pour the full Pulmozyme dose into the nebulizer
Step 10. Connect the plastic T
Step 11. Attach the tube to the cup
Step 12. Turn on the compressor
Step 13. Breathe through the mouthpiece.
Step 14. Breathing through the facemask
During the treatment, your child may sit, lie down, or stand.
It is important that your child inhale the full dose of Pulmozyme. If you find a leak or feel moisture coming from the nebulizer during the treatment, turn off the compressor and make sure the nebulizer cap is sealed correctly before starting the compressor again (See Figure X).
Step 15. Prepare the nebulizer for cleaning and storage.
