introduction
respiratory condition. To best utilize this liquid medication, he has prescribed a Drive brand
compressor nebulizer. Your Drive compressor nebulizer works to convert the medication to
a high-quality mist of ne particles that penetrates deep into the lungs.
Be sure that you read and understand the information in this instruction guide. By following
these simple instructions and the advice of your physician, your compressor will become
an eective addition to your therapeutic routine.
Statement of Intended Use
The Drive compressor nebulizer includes an AC powered air compressor that provides a
source of compressed air for home health care use. The compressor is used in conjunction
with a jet (pneumatic) nebulizer to convert certain inhalable drugs into an aerosol form for
inhalation by a patient. The device can be used with adult or pediatric patients.
What are Compressor Nebulizer Systems Used For?
People with breathing problems, such as Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD) or Cystic Fibrosis are often prescribed medicines that minimize or control symp-
toms of their disease. Compressor Nebulizer Systems are a means of delivering these
prescribed medications to the lungs. These medications and the compressor nebulizer
systems should be used as directed by a physician to maximize benets. Compressor
Nebulizer systems can be prescribed for use everyday or periodically as symptoms present
themselves, such as the springtime when Hay Fever or Allergies are normally present.
How Does a Compressor Nebulizer Work?
Most medicines for use with a compressor nebulizer system are created in a liquid form.
This liquid medication is placed in the “cup” of the nebulizer (please refer to this Instruc-
tion Guide for more information on the proper use of a nebulizer). The compressor, which
is connected to the nebulizer by exible tubing, generates a specic pressure and ow of
air that essentially “drives” the nebulizer. The pressurized air produced by the compressor
initiates the nebulizer’s ability to break down the liquid medication into a very ne mist. This
mist, often referred to as an aerosol cloud, is then propelled out the nebulizer and inhaled
into the lungs where the medicine is readily absorbed. Please consult your prescription for
details on the amount of liquid medication that should be placed in the nebulizer. If you
should have any questions about your medication or its use, please contact your physician
or pharmacist.

introduction
How Do I Take a Treatment?
A nebulizer is the optimal delivery method of medication to the lungs. However, some users
may nd it dicult to use, especially very young children. In this case, an aerosol mask
may be used. To ensure that the proper mask is utilized, please consult your home health
provider or physician.
The most important aspect of taking a treatment is the patient’s breathing pattern while
inhaling the medication mist.
It should be slow and deep, all attempts should be made to sit up straight and breathe in
deep.
A general rule of thumb is to attempt to breathe in so deeply that it feels as though the
lungs are completely full of air and inhaling any additional air is impossible.
If possible, hold your breath for 1-2 seconds unless directed otherwise by your physician
and then slowly exhale through the nebulizer mouthpiece or mask. Holding your breath for
1-2 seconds after inhaling the medication allows for optimal absorption of medication in the
lungs.
Repeat this breathing pattern for the entire treatment.
The length of a treatment can last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the
amount of medication and the performance of your compressor and nebulizer system.
When you cannot see any medication in the nebulizer cup and the nebulizer has stopped
producing a mist, the treatment has been completed. Turn o your compressor and follow
the cleaning instructions found in this instruction guide.
If you have any additional questions regarding your equipment, medication, or treatment,
please consult your physician.

NOTA Eso se debe al dispositivo de seguridad del interruptor térmico integrado en el
motor. A medida que la unidad funciona genera calor y se calienta. Una vez que la
unidad se enfríe volverá a funcionar normalmente. Si la unidad está funcionando
por más de 30 minutos continuos, puede que el interruptor térmico se active y
esto podría suspender el tratamiento del usuario.
Algunos modelos de este dispositivo tienen un enchufe polarizado (una hoja es más ancha
que la otra). Como una opción de seguridad, este enchufé se podrá introducir en una toma
de corriente solamente de una manera. Si el enchufe no cabe completamente dentro de
la toma de corriente, voltéelo al otro lado. Si de todas maneras no cabe, póngase en con-
tacto con un electricista calicado. No trate de deshabilitar esta opción de seguridad.
Si es necesario reparar o reemplazar el cable o el enchufe, contacte a su proveedor
calicado Drive.
NOTA
Puede que las supercies exteriores de la unidad o el conector de salida de aire
se calienten levemente durante el uso. También puede sentir aire tibio saliendo de
las ventilas de los lados de la unidad. Esto es normal.

introducción
Su doctor le ha recetado un medicamento líquido para tratar su enfermedad respiratoria.
Para usar este medicamento líquido de la mejor manera, él ha recetado un compresor
nebulizador de la marca Drive. Su compresor nebulizador Drive trabaja para convertir el
medicamento a un rocío de partículas nas de alta calidad que penetran profundamente
dentro de los pulmones.
Asegúrese de leer y entender la información en esta guía de instrucciones. Al seguir
estas simples instrucciones y el consejo de su médico, su compresor se convertirá en una
adición efectiva para su rutina terapéutica.
Declaración de Uso Deseado
El compresor nebulizador Drive incluye un compresor de aire activado por CA que propor-
ciona una fuente de aire comprimido para uso de salud doméstico. Este compresor se usa
conjuntamente con un nebulizador de chorro (neumático) para convertir ciertos medica-
mentos inhalables en aerosol y para ser inhalados por un paciente. Este dispositivo puede
ser usado con pacientes adultos o pediátricos.
NOTA Si usa un nebulizador que no sea distribuido por Drive, verique que la presión y/o
las características del ujo del nebulizador (cuando son activa dos por el com-
presor Drive) cumplen con las recomendaciones del fabricante del nebulizador.
¿Para Qué Se Usan Los Sistemas de Compresor Nebulizador?
Las personas con problemas respiratorios, como asma, enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva
crónica (EPOC) o brosis cística por lo general se les recetan medicamentos para minimi-
zar o controlar los síntomas de su enfermedad.
Los sistemas de compresor nebulizador son un medio para que los medicamentos receta-
dos lleguen a los pulmones.
Estos medicamentos y los sistemas de compresor nebulizador deben usarse como lo
indique un médico para obtener los máximos benecios. Los sistemas de compresor
nebulizador pueden recetarse para uso diario o periódicamente a medida que se presenten
los síntomas, como por ejemplo en la primavera cuando normalmente se presenta la ebre
del heno o las alergias.
¿Cómo Funciona un Compresor Nebulizador?
La mayoría de las medicinas que se usan con un sistema compresor nebulizador están en
forma líquida. Este medicamento líquido se coloca en la “taza” del nebulizador (vea por
favor esta Guía de Instrucción para obtener información adicional sobre el uso adecuado
de un nebulizador). El compresor, que está conectado con el nebulizador a través de un

tubo exible, genera una presión y ujo de aire especíco que esencialmente “activa” al
ebulizador. El aire presurizado producido por el compresor inicia la habilidad del nebuliza-
dor de descomponer el medicamento líquido en una neblina muy na. Esta neblina, por lo
general conocida como nube de aerosol, es enviada a través del nebulizador y es nhalada
dentro de los pulmones donde se absorbe la medicina. Por favor consulte su receta
médica para saber la cantidad de medicamento líquido que debe colocar en el ebuliza-
dor. Si tiene cualquier pregunta sobre su medicamento o su uso, por favor contacte a su
médico o farmacéutico.
¿Cómo Tomo un Tratamiento?
Un nebulizador es el método de entrega óptimo de medicamento a los pulmones. Sin
embargo, su uso puede ser difícil para algunos usuarios, especialmente si son niños muy
pequeños. En este caso, puede usar una máscara de aerosol. Para asegurarse de usar la
máscara adecuada, consulte por favor con su proveedor de cuidado de salud o médico. l
aspecto más importante de tomar un tratamiento es el patrón de respiración del paciente
mientras inhala la neblina de medicamento.
Siempre debe ser lento y profundo, al hacerlo se debe de tratar estar sentado derecho y
respirar profundamente. Una regla general es tratar de respirar lo más hondo que se pueda
de manera que se sienta como si los pulmones están completamente llenos de aire y tratar
de inhalar aire adicional si es posible.
Si es posible, contenga la respiración, a menos que su médico le indique lo opuesto, y
luego exhale lentamente a través de la boquilla o máscara del nebulizador. El contener la
respiración después de inhalar el medicamento permite la absorción óptima del medica-
mento en los pulmones.
Repita este patrón de respiración durante todo el tratamiento.
La longitud del tratamiento puede durar de 5 a 20 minutos, dependiendo de la cantidad de
medicamento y el funcionamiento de su sistema de compresor nebulizador. Cuando ya no
pueda ver nada de medicamento en la taza del nebulizador y si nebulizador ha dejado de
producir neblina, ha terminado el tratamiento. Apague su compresor y siga las instruccio-
nes de limpieza que se encuentran en la guía de instrucciones.
Si tiene preguntas adicionales en cuando a su equipo, medicamento o tratamiento, por
favor consulte con su médico.
