SECTION 4—CLEANING AND 

DISINFECTING

Following the cleaning instructions after each use will prevent 

any remaining medication in the bottle from drying and 

causing the device to nebulize ineffectively.
It is recommended that the disposable nebulizer and the 

mouthpiece be thoroughly rinsed with hot tap water after 

each use and cleaned with a mild detergent after the last 

treatment of the day. The same pieces must also be disinfected 

daily by soaking in a vinegar/water solution or a 

commercially available disinfectant. If your physician or 

respiratory therapist specifies a different cleaning procedure, 

follow their instructions
