Operating instructions for the locomotive inhaler
The instructions for the locomotive inhaler are standard:
- Before and after each use of the device, it must be disinfected;
- the prepared medicinal product must be poured into a special container;
- the mask is placed on the child’s face;
- the patient himself sits in the arms of the parent.
The duration of the procedure depends on the volume remedy inserted into a special compartment, how quickly it will spray. As a rule, it does not exceed 10 minutes for adults and 5 minutes for a child. It is important to meet the following conditions:
- 1-1.5 hours before inhalation, the child should not eat;
- during manipulation, breathing should be smooth and calm;
- inhalation is through the mouth, exhalation is through the nose (this can be explained to a child from 3 years old, younger ones can breathe in any order);
- after completing the procedure, you need to rinse your mouth;
- Do not drink water for 30 minutes after inhalation;
- It is forbidden to eat within 1 hour after.
How to assemble and where to insert the filter
Assembling the inhaler must begin by filling the container with the medicine, then a filter is inserted into a special compartment on the locomotive itself - it is a red “pipe”. Only after this is it possible to connect the hose and mask and turn on the inhaler in operating mode. After each procedure, you need to pay attention to the condition of the filter, since they usually become dirty quickly:
- change the filter every 10-15 procedures with frequent use;
- The filter must be changed if the inhaler has not been used for 12 months or more.
To insert the filter into the locomotive, you need to turn it over and open the lid on the body (round with holes). In some models, the air filter is located in the first pipe of the nebulizer (red on the B Well WN 115k locomotive).

How to use
You need to use a children's nebulizer according to the following algorithm:
- Prepare a medicinal solution, inject it into a special compartment using a syringe without a needle - this way you will be able to maintain sterility. The divisions on the “flask” for the medication imply the use of 2-10 ml of the drug per procedure; you must follow the doctor’s prescriptions.
- Install the filter, connect the hose, mask and turn on the train by pressing the button - even a child can do this: an element of the game that will eliminate the fear of the loud sounds of the compressor.
- Put a mask on the baby’s face (a child over 3 years old can be given a mouthpiece) and proceed directly to the manipulation - prompt the patient’s breathing rhythm, the depth of inhalations and the necessity of exhaling through the nose.
The procedure lasts until the entire volume of the medicine is sprayed. The child calmly endures 5-15 minutes, getting carried away by playing with a train - this time is quite enough to receive the required dose of the drug.
What can be put into a compressor locomotive?
The compressor locomotive converts the drug into an aerosol using compressed air. The principle of operation of the inhaler implies the use in therapy of almost any medications that do not contain suspended particles. It is forbidden to carry out inhalations with:
- herbal infusions;
- suspensions;
- decoctions;
- oil solutions.
That is, the solution for the procedure must be transparent. The most affordable option is saline solution, which perfectly helps in stopping the development of cough, the process of formation and removal of mucus from the respiratory tract. Medicines from the category of corticosteroids, antibiotics are prescribed by a pediatrician.
Caring for your medical inhaler
After each use, the medical inhaler requires care:
- if there are droplets of moisture left in the hose, then it needs to be dried - the inhaler is turned on without medicine and the inner surface of the tube is dried with air;
- the filter is pulled out and washed under running warm water;
- All parts must be dried naturally - you cannot wipe them with napkins or a towel.
Before each use, disinfection measures will need to be carried out - all parts (with the exception of the filter and hose) are washed with a solution of table vinegar (1: 3 with water, respectively) or any antiseptic drug (Chlorhexidine, Miramistin). After this, everything is washed again with running water.
Precautions for the children's locomotive inhaler
The children's locomotive inhaler is considered a safe device that does not cause burns to the mucous membranes and face. Parents just need to ensure the integrity of all parts of the equipment, including the power cord. The latter should not be twisted tightly so as not to damage the winding.
The hose through which the therapeutic aerosol is supplied must be kept straight and not twisted.
If, when you first turn on the device, it sprays too actively, splashes fly into your face, and the medicine runs out faster than necessary, most likely the device is faulty. You must contact the point of sale and ask for a replacement.
Price of locomotive inhalers
The price of Parovozik inhalers varies, but on average it is 2,500 rubles. Promotions are often held for such equipment, and then its cost does not exceed 2,000 rubles.
