How to Clean Drive Compact Compressor Nebulizer?

1. With power switch in the “ Off” position, unplug power cord from wall outlet.
2. Disconnect tubing from the air-inlet connector and set aside.
3. Disassemble the nebulizer mouthpiece or mask from cap. Open nebulizer by turning cap counterclockwise and remove 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. For reusable nebulizer only, it can be cleaned daily in dishwasher using top shelf or by following the above cleaning procedure.

Disinfect Daily:

• Using a clean container or bowl, soak items in three parts hot water to one part white vinegar for 30 minutes OR use a medical bacterial-germicidal disinfectant available through your provider. Be sure to follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• With clean hands, remove items from disinfectant solution, rinse under hot tap water, and air dry on a clean paper towel. Store in a zip-lock bag.
  NOTE: Do not towel dry nebulizer parts; this could cause contamination.
• Keep the outer surface of the tubing dust-free by wiping regularly. Nebulizer tubing does not have to be washed because only filtered air passes through it.
  NOTE: The Drive Disposable Nebulizer will last at least 15 days and possibly longer, depending on usage. Proper cleaning will also help extend the life of the nebulizer. Because it is disposable, we recommend that an extra nebulizer kit be kept on hand at all times. The Drive Reusable Nebulizer is dishwasher safe and may be cleaned and reused for up to one year.

Compressor Cleaning:

• With power switch in the “Off ” position, unplug power cord from wall outlet.
• Wipe outside of the compressor cabinet with a clean damp cloth every few days to keep dust-free.

   The drive nebulizer compressor shown

   I ordered one and it said the MQ 5900 was on back order and would be sent when they got it in. But the picture up above it the one I actually ordered it said MQ5800 on that one did not say it was out of stock. I've been using this company for 3 years but they're beginning to false advertise and misrepresent what they have for sale.
   Thank you

   LOUSY instructions - Where does the little blue cone go???

   I agree that the instructions for assembly are not clear. There is a little blue plastic cone that I have no idea what to do with! I put my medicine in and it went to the bottom chamber of the nebulizer, and put the mouthpiece in my mouth for 20 minutes. There was NO MIST? You need to put a help tel # in the instruction book!!!

   Great unit

   M,y wife has been using a nebulizer for several years. She has had two that have transformers and very small wires going from the unit to the transformer and then the ac outlet. The wire keeps breaking and a replacement power cord is as much as a new unit if it is available at all. This unit have a normal electrical cord.

   Very Poor Assembly Instructions

   My elderly parents were trying to put the nebulizer together. No instructions whatsoever, and many parts to choose from. I had to go home and use the internet to find photos of how it is supposed to look when assembled. I am a technical writer and could produce a much better manual than the one included with the product.

    Question: Where does the filter go

    Asked by John G. on Apr 17, 2017 Report
    • A
      Answer: The filter for Drive Compact Portable Compressor Nebulizer is placed inside the filter holder. The filter must be replaced after approximately 30 hours of use or when it turns grey.
      Filter changing instructions:
      Filter should be changed every 6 months
      or sooner if filter discolors.
      Remove filter by grasping it firmly and pulling
      out of the unit. Discard old filter.
      Replace with a new Drive filter. Additional
      filters should be purchased from your
      Drive provider.
      Push new filter into position.
      Do not reuse or wash filter or substitute any other material
      such as cotton for a Drive air-inlet filter. It will result in
      compressor damage.
