Breathing Techniques
Proper breathing technique is important to ensure that the
medication particles are widely distributed throughout the
airways. Use the nebulizer only to treat respiratory conditions
as advised by your doctor. Some medications are available
only with a doctor's prescription.
1. Sit in a quiet environment. Hold the Optimera®
Mesh Nebulizer in your hand. Keep the device as
upright as possible and do not tilt it more than 45
degrees in any direction.
2. For throat treatment, use the mouthpiece. For
treatment of the nose or throat cavities, use the
mask.
3. When using the mouthpiece, keep your lips
slightly closed. When using the mask, ensure it
covers your nose and mouth. Breathe calmly and
deeply through your nose and exhale through
your mouth.
4. When using the mouthpiece, inhale through your
mouth and exhale through your nose.
5. During a treatment session, you can use either
the mask or the mouthpiece.
6. Additionally, clean the nebulizer after each use.
