Cleaning and Maintenance

Nebulizer Cleaning

All parts of the pediatric nebulizer, except the tubing, should be cleaned according to the following instructions. To prevent possible risk of infection from contaminated medication, cleaning of the nebulizer is recommended after each aerosol treatment. Disinfecting is recommended once a day.

Clean After Every Use

1. With the power switch in the “ Off” position, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Disconnect the tubing from the air-inlet connector and set it aside.
3. Disassemble the mouthpiece or mask from the cap. Open the nebulizer by turning the cap counterclockwise and remove the baffle.
4. 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.
5. Reusable nebulizers can be cleaned daily in a dishwasher using the top shelf or by following the above cleaning procedure.

The Drive Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher safe, but do not place any Drive Disposable Nebulizer parts in an automatic dishwasher; doing so could cause damage.

Disinfect Daily

1. Using a clean container or bowl, soak items in three parts hot water to one part white vinegar for 30 minutes OR use a medical bacterial-germicidal disinfectant available through your provider. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
2. With clean hands, remove items from the disinfectant solution, rinse under hot tap water, and air dry on a clean paper towel. Store in a zip-lock bag.. Keep the outer surface of the tubing dust-free by wiping it regularly. Nebulizer tubing does not have to be washed because only filtered air passes through it.

Compressor Cleaning

1. With the power switch in the “Off ” position, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Wipe the outside of the compressor cabinet with a clean damp cloth every few days to keep it dust-free.

2. Remove the filter by grasping it firmly and pulling it out of the unit. Discard the old filter.
3. Replace with a new Drive filter. Additional filters should be purchased from your Drive provider.
