Operating
Possible areas of application for inhalation therapy are acute
diseases of the airways such as.:
Colds
Inflammations of the paranasal sinuses
or chronic diseases such as.:
Bronchial asthma
Bronchitis
NOTE
Before starting therapy, discuss the length, dosage
and frequency of use with your doctor. The method
of use should be appropriate to the aim of the
therapy (e.g. lung treatment = use of mouthpiece
and treatment of the nasal-pharyngeal area = use of
mask). Consult your doctor about this aspect as well.
Use only water-soluble preparations/medicines or product that are
alcohol based. All common inhalation solutions for ultrasound
inhalation devices can be used. Salt solution is often recom-
mended. Do not use oil-based inhalants. Ask your doctor which
preparations are suitable for you.
More detailed information on the topics of “Aerosols”, “Inha-
lation” or “Breathing Therapy” can be found in specialist books,
or obtained from study groups and associations, or from your
doctor.
Before operating for the first time or if the device has not been
used for some time, clean and disinfect the nebulizer unit as well
as the mouthpiece and mask including the connecting piece (also
refer to “Cleaning and maintenance”).
Remove the cover
from the device. Open the active ingredient
tank
and fill it with inhalant (maximum capacity 8 ml =
8 ccm). Please observe the dosage and instructions for use on
the information leaflet enclosed with the medicine you are using.
Close the active ingredient tank lid again and place the cover
on the device. Make sure the cover is correctly seated and sealed,
i.e. that it is latched in place. Then plug the mouthpiece
or the
connecting piece
and mask
into the attachment port of
the nebulizer unit
.
