If you own a nebulizer, then you should also be aware of some basic cleaning and maintenance techniques that are necessary. With time, dirt settles in the compressor clogs the channels. Similarly, tubing, masks, and mouthpieces also degrade and it becomes an absolute necessity to clean or sometimes even replace some dysfunctional components. Here are some basics that every nebulizer user must be aware of.
Make sure that you are following the manufacturer’s instructions regarding cleaning your nebulizer, parts, and accessories.
Even if the nebulizer seems to be working fine, it is not a good idea to use it longer than recommended. A regular child and adult nebulizer masks should not be used for any longer than6 months. They are made with plastic and hence degrade over time, and not only reduce your treatment benefits but may also be harmful if used for too long.
When you buy a new mask, make sure that it is compatible with your nebulizer.
You should make sure that you change the nebulizer filter regularly as directed by the manufacturer. Sometimes, it is even better to change it earlier when it turns gray due to impurities.
Not changing the filter on time is neither good for your health, nor for the life of your nebulizer because an old and dirty will cause your compressor unit to wear out earlier.
Do not forget to clean the outside of the tubing and replace it whenever needed or as recommended.
Check and replace any part or accessory appears cracked or worn out.
Make sure you have some extra tubing, mouthpieces, and masks at home for emergency situations.
