Overview
The A&D UN-014 Compact Compressor Nebuliser takes the core functionality of a full-sized home nebuliser and packages it in a smaller, lighter format that is considerably easier to live with day to day. For anyone managing a respiratory condition who needs reliable, consistent nebulised medication delivery without a bulky device sitting permanently on the bedside table, the compact design of the UN-014 makes practical sense. It is discreet enough to travel with, straightforward enough to set up without frustration, and built to A&D's established standards for home health monitoring devices.
Like all compressor nebulisers, the UN-014 works by driving pressurised air through a liquid medication chamber to produce a fine, inhalable mist. This mist is small enough in particle size to travel into the lower airways, making it effective for managing conditions such as asthma and COPD where medication needs to reach deeper into the respiratory system than a standard inhaler may achieve for some patients. The device is suitable for use with a mask or mouthpiece, accommodating both adults and children when directed by a healthcare professional.
Compact does not mean compromised here. The UN-014 delivers on the essentials — reliable nebulisation performance, easy disassembly for cleaning, and durable components built for regular home use. For anyone who has been prescribed inhaled nebulised therapy and wants a device that fits more naturally into daily life rather than dominating it, this is a thoughtful choice. Explore our full range of home health monitoring and treatment devices and our respiratory health products for complementary support.
How to Use the A&D UN-014 Compact Compressor Nebuliser
Before first use
- Read the instruction manual supplied with the device in full before using it for the first time.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the nebuliser components or preparing medication.
- Assemble the tubing, medication cup, and mask or mouthpiece as described in the manual. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Clean all components that will contact medication or the patient's airways according to the cleaning guidance in the manual before the first treatment.
Preparing and administering a treatment
- Prepare your medication as directed by your GP or prescribing healthcare professional. Only use the medication and dose that has been prescribed for nebulised delivery. Pour the prescribed amount into the medication cup. Do not alter doses or substitute medications without medical guidance.
- Assemble the nebuliser components. Attach the medication cup securely to the mask or mouthpiece. Connect the tubing between the medication cup and the compressor unit, ensuring all connections are firm and correctly seated.
- Sit upright in a comfortable position. Sitting upright allows medication to reach deeper into the airways more effectively than a reclined position.
- Apply the mask or mouthpiece. For adults, a mouthpiece is generally preferred where possible, as it delivers more medication directly to the airways. A mask is more appropriate for young children or patients who cannot maintain a seal around a mouthpiece. Ensure the mask fits snugly over the nose and mouth.
- Switch on the compressor. Turn on the device using the power switch. A fine mist should appear in the mask or mouthpiece within seconds of switching on.
- Breathe calmly and normally. Inhale and exhale at a relaxed, steady pace. Avoid rapid or shallow breathing. Continue until the mist stops, indicating the medication cup is empty and the treatment is complete.
- Switch off the device. Turn the compressor off once the treatment is complete. Do not leave the device running unattended.
- Clean components after every use. Disassemble the medication cup, mask or mouthpiece, and tubing connector. Wash in warm water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely. Never share nebuliser components between patients.
Important notes
- Use only medications specifically prescribed or recommended for nebulisation by your GP or specialist.
- Use only sterile saline or the diluent specified by your prescriber when diluting nebulised medication — do not use tap water.
- Do not use the device near open flames or in areas where smoking is taking place.
- If symptoms do not improve or worsen during or after treatment, contact your GP or call 999 in an emergency.
If you are setting up and using a nebuliser for the first time, a Pearl Chemist Group pharmacist can offer guidance to ensure you feel confident before your first treatment.

How to Store the A&D UN-014 Compact Compressor Nebuliser
- Cleanliness: Store all components fully dry after cleaning. Damp components stored away promote bacterial and mould growth, which presents a significant risk for the next user.
- Temperature: Store at normal room temperature away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and cold or damp environments.
- Compressor unit: Store on a flat, stable surface. Do not stack heavy items on top of it or subject it to impact, which can damage the compressor mechanism.
- Tubing and accessories: Store tubing loosely coiled without sharp kinks. Keep the mask and mouthpiece in a clean, sealed bag between uses to protect from dust.
- Air filter: Inspect and replace the air filter according to the schedule in the instruction manual. A blocked filter reduces airflow and treatment effectiveness.
- Travel: The compact design makes the UN-014 suitable for travel. Store in the original carry case or a suitable protective bag when transporting.
- Keep out of reach of children when not in use.
- Disposal: Dispose of at the end of its useful life via your local electrical waste recycling facility, not in general household waste.

FAQs
What is the difference between the UN-014 and the A&D Essential Compressor Nebuliser?
Both devices are compressor nebulisers designed for home use that deliver inhaled medication via a fine mist, and both are built to A&D's standard for home health devices. The primary difference is physical — the UN-014 is a more compact, lightweight model designed for those who want a smaller device that is easier to store and travel with. Performance, nebulisation method, and correct usage are broadly the same across both models. If you are unsure which model is right for your needs, a Pearl Chemist Group pharmacist is happy to advise.
Can I take the UN-014 when travelling?
Yes. The compact design of the UN-014 makes it more practical for travel than a standard-sized nebuliser. If you are travelling by air, check current airline regulations regarding medical devices in hand luggage, and carry your prescription documentation for the medications you are transporting. Ensure you also pack the correct power adaptor if travelling abroad, as mains voltage and socket types vary. Your GP or specialist can provide a letter confirming the medical necessity of the device if required by airline or border security staff.
Does the compact size affect how well the nebuliser works?
A compact compressor nebuliser achieves the same fundamental function as a larger model — converting liquid medication into an inhalable mist through compressed air. The nebulisation rate and particle size achieved may vary between models, which can affect treatment duration and medication delivery efficiency. For confirmed performance specifications of the UN-014, refer to the A&D product data sheet. NOT FOUND — please confirm nebulisation rate and MMAD particle size from A&D technical documentation and update this answer if relevant data is available.
Is this nebuliser suitable for children?
The UN-014 can be used with children, but only under the direction of a GP or paediatrician who will specify the appropriate medication, dose, treatment duration, and mask size for the child's age and condition. Children should always use a nebuliser under direct adult supervision. NOT FOUND — please confirm whether a paediatric mask is included in the pack or available as an accessory, and update this answer accordingly.
How often should I clean the nebuliser components?
The medication cup, mask or mouthpiece, and any connectors that come into contact with medication or the airways should be cleaned after every single use without exception. Wash in warm water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue, and allow to air dry completely before the next use or storage. The instruction manual may also specify a periodic deeper cleaning or sterilisation schedule. Never share components between different patients, as this presents a significant cross-contamination risk.
What medications can I use in the UN-014?
Only medications that have been specifically prescribed for nebulised delivery by your GP or respiratory specialist should be used in this device. Common nebulised medications include bronchodilators such as salbutamol and ipratropium, corticosteroids, and saline solutions for airway clearance, but the appropriateness of any medication for nebulisation depends entirely on your individual clinical situation. Never transfer medication from a standard inhaler into a nebuliser cup, and never alter your prescribed dose without consulting your prescribing healthcare professional first.
What should I do if symptoms do not improve after treatment?
If your breathing does not improve following a nebulised treatment, or if it worsens, contact your GP promptly or call 111 for urgent advice. Do not administer additional doses of nebulised medication without medical guidance. If you are experiencing severe breathlessness, a significant worsening of wheeze or chest tightness, or feel that your condition is deteriorating rapidly, call 999 or get to A&E immediately. A home nebuliser is a management tool — it is not a substitute for emergency medical care when your condition is not responding to treatment.
