Philips Sami Pediatric Compressor Nebulizer System

The Philips Sami Compressor Nebulizer System supports aerosol therapy compliance
The nebulizer machine is available with two configurations for flexible use
This nebulizer machine can be used either with the sidestream disposable nebulizer only or with the sidestream disposable and sidestream reusable nebulizers
The compressor is bottom-weighted to provide stability and incorporates a docking station for the nebulizer between treatments
The sidestream disposable and reusable nebulizers can be used with commonly prescribed respiratory medications
The nebulizer for kids offers fast, efficient, and economical drug delivery
Both the nebulizers feature venturi technology that provides air flow in addition to that supplied by the compressor
It results in faster drug delivery and shorter treatment times

A nebulizer is a device used for producing a fine spray of liquid, for example, for inhaling a medicinal drug. Doctors prescribe a nebulizer as treatment or breathing therapy. The device delivers the same types of medication as metered dose inhalers (MDIs), which are the familiar pocketized inhalers. Nebulizers may be easier to use than MDIs, especially for children who aren’t old enough to properly use inhalers, or adults with severe asthma.
A nebulizer turns liquid medicine into a mist to help treat your respiratory issues. They come in electric or battery-run variants. These nebulizers come in both a portable size you can carry with you and a larger size that is meant to sit on a table and plug into a wall. Both are made up of a base that holds an air compressor, a small container for liquid medicine, and a tube that connects the air compressor to the medicine container. Above the medicine container is a mouthpiece or mask you use to inhale the mist.

How to Use a Nebulizer:
Put the compressor on a flat surface where it can safely reach an outlet
Check to make sure all the pieces are clean
Wash your hands before prepping the medication
If your medication is premixed, place it in the container. If you need to mix it, measure the correct amount, and then place it in the container
Connect the tube to the compressor and the liquid container
Attach the mouthpiece or mask
Turn on the switch and check to see that the nebulizer is misting
Put the mouthpiece in your mouth and close your mouth around it or put the mask securely over your nose and mouth, leaving no gaps
Slowly breathe in and out until the medicine is gone. This may take five to 15 minutes.
Keep the liquid container upright throughout the treatment

How to Clean the Parts:
Clean the parts after each use
Discard any remaining medication in the medication cup
Wash the parts in warm water and mild detergent
Rinse them thoroughly with clean, hot tap water and allow them to air dry in a clean place
Do Not Disinfect the Air Tube and Child Mask in boiling water
