Sterilizing Your Nebulizer Parts and Equipment
To ensure your safety and increase the effectiveness of treatment, it’s very important to keep your nebulizer system clean. You’ll need to perform some maintenance after each use, so set aside a few extra minutes after each treatment time. Following the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions after each use will prevent any remaining medication in the cup from drying out, which can result in the device not nebulizing effectively. Once a week, your nebulizer will need to be more thoroughly sterilized. Consider the following nebulizer cleaning tips. Keep in mind that some manufacturers’ instructions may differ, so always check your manual before cleaning your nebulizer for the first time.
After each treatment:
- Wash your hands thoroughly.
- Disassemble the nebulizer.
- Rinse the mask or mouthpiece with warm water for at least half a minute.
- Do not wash nebulizer tubing or compressor.
- Shake off excess water and place parts on a clean towel for air-drying.
- Reassemble the system and turn on the compressor for a few seconds for drying.
