Mediscope nebulizer machine

• Air compressor
• Nebulizer cup
• Mask or mouthpiece
• Medication (either unit dose vials or bottles with measuring devices)
• Compressor tubing

Then, follow these steps:

• Put the air compressor on a flat, sturdy surface. Plug it into a grounded (three-prong) electrical outlet.
• Wash your hands with soap and water, and dry them completely.
• Put medication into the nebulizer cup. Most comes already measured in unit dose vials. If you have to measure it yourself, use a separate clean measuring device for each medication.
• Assemble the nebulizer cup and mask or mouthpiece.
• Connect the tubing to both the aerosol compressor and the nebulizer cup.Turn on the compressor to make sure it’s working the way it should. You should see a light mist coming from the back of the tube.
• Sit up straight on a comfortable chair. If the treatment is for your child, they can sit on your lap. If you’re using a mask, put it on. Be sure it’s comfortable and secure. If you’re using a mouthpiece, put it between your or your child's teeth and seal the lips around it.
• Take slow, deep breaths. If possible, hold each breath for 2 or 3 seconds before breathing out. This lets the medication settle into your airways.
• Continue until the medication is gone. The nebulizer will make a sputtering noise, and the cup will have just a little liquid left in it.
• If you get dizzy or jittery, stop the treatment and rest for about 5 minutes. Continue the treatment, and try to breathe more slowly. If you keep having problems during treatments, tell your doctor.
