NEBULIZER CLEANING

  1. Disassemble nebulizer.
  2. 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.

Disinfect Daily:

  1. Using a clean bowl, soak items in three parts hot water (131˚F-149ºF/55˚C-65˚C) to one part white vinegar (>=5% acetic acid concentration) for 30 minutes OR use a medical bacterial-germicidal disinfectant. Be sure to follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
  2. With clean hands, remove items, rinse under hot tap water, and air dry. Store in a zip-lock bag.NOTE– Do not towel dry nebulizer parts; this could cause contamination.
  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– Replace your DeVilbiss primary reusable nebulizer every 6 months. Disposable nebulizer (often used as a backup) should be replaced at least every 15 days. To ensure consistent operating specifications, replace with DeVilbiss nebulizer.
