Pacifica Elite Compressor Nebulizer Instructions

Operating the Compressor:

1. Before each use inspects the Pacifica Elite Compressor and nebulizer cup assembly for damage or wear, and replace as needed.
2. Place the Pacifica Elite Compressor on a table or other flat stable surface. Be sure the user can easily reach the controls when seated. Do not use this device on the floor.With the power switch in the O (OFF) position, plug the power cord into an appropriate electrical wall outlet.
3. Connect one end of the tubing to the compressor air-outlet connector.
4. Assemble the nebulizer cup and add indicated medication to the nebulizer cup before use.Attach the other end of the tubing to the air-inlet connector found at the bottom of the nebulizer cup.
5. Turn on the Pacifica Elite Compressor by pressing the power switch to the I (ON) position and begin treatment.
6. If treatment needs to be interrupted, simply press the power switch to O (OFF) position.
7. When the treatment is complete, turn off the compressor by pressing the power switch to O (OFF) position and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.

How to Take the Treatment?

• Sit up straight and breathe in deep
• 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 the breath for 1-2 seconds unless directed otherwise by the physician and then slowly exhale through the nebulizer mouthpiece or mask
• Holding the 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

Nebulizer Cleaning:

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 only, they can be cleaned daily in a dishwasher using the top shelf or by following the above cleaning procedure.
6. Drive Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher safe, but do not place any Drive Disposable Nebulizer parts in an automatic dishwasher; doing so could cause damage.

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.
3. Do not submerge in water; doing so will result in compressor damage.

   Very pleased with this

   Works exactly as expected. I paid MUCH more for an identical-looking unit from a 'home health' provider when it was first prescribed for me. This one seems exactly the same, except for the labeling.

14. Q

    Question: Do I have to use the neb it came with? Lost the filter and original neb. I have nebulizer I got from hospital but it doesnt seem compatible bc it only foams up and I see NO aerosal. The treatments are lasting forever. Which is NO good when in exacerbation. I did not realize that possibly the neb is not interchangeable with nebs from hospital. Do I need to order ONLY your nebs? My old system worked with all neb set ups. And it was a dinosaur... OR could there be a motor problem?
