6. Operation

Caution

•

For hygiene reasons, the atomiser [9] and the ac

cessories must be cleaned after each treatment and

disinfected after the last treatment of the day.

•

The accessories may be used only by one person;

use by several people is not recommended.

•

If several different medicines are to be inhaled in

succession during therapeutic use, the atomiser [9]

must be rinsed under warm tap water after each

use. For information about this, see “Cleaning and

disinfection” on page 20.

•

Follow the instructions for changing the filter con-

tained in these instructions.

•

Before each use, check that the hose connections

on the nebuliser [6] and the atomiser [9] are tight.

•

Before use, check that the device is functioning cor-

rectly. To do this, switch on the nebuliser (including

the connected atomiser, but without any medication)

for a short time. If the atomiser [9] expels air, the

device is functioning correctly.

1. Inserting the nozzle attachment

•

To open the atomiser [9], twist the upper section

anti-clockwise against the medicine container [11].

Place the nozzle attachment [10] in the medicine

container [11].

•

Ensure that the cone for administering medication

fits well on the cone for the air duct inside the nebu-

liser.

2. Filling the atomiser

•

Pour an isotonic saline solu-

tion or the medicine directly

into the medicine container

[11]. Do not overfill! The max-

imum recommended fill level

is 8 ml !

•

Use medication only on the

advice of a physician, and

check the appropriate inhala-

tion duration and quantity for

your needs.

•

If the required volume of medication is less than 2 ml,

top up this quantity to at least 4 ml using an isotonic

saline solution. Viscous medicines may also require

dilution. Always follow the instructions of your doc

tor.

3. Closing the atomiser

•

To close the atomiser [9], twist the upper section

clockwise against the medicine container [11]. En-

sure the parts are connected correctly.

4. Connecting the accessories to the atomiser

•

onnect the required accessory part (mouthpiece

[12], adult mask [13] or child mask [14]) to the atom-

iser [9].

Note

The most effective form of nebulisation is by using the

mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only recom-

mended if it is not possible to use a mouthpiece (e.g.

for children who are not yet able to inhale medication

using a mouthpiece).

•

Before commencing treatment, pull the atomiser

upwards out of its holder [7].

•

Start the nebuliser using the on/off switch [3].

•

A flow of spray from the atomiser indicates that the

device is functioning properly.

5. Treatment

•

When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and

not in an armchair to avoid compressing the airways

and therefore impairing the effectiveness of the treat-

ment.

•

Inhale the nebulised medicine deeply.

Important

The device is not suitable for continuous operation;

after 30 minutes of operation it must be switched off

for 30 minutes.

Note

During treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertical),

otherwise the atomisation does not work and correct

function cannot be guaranteed.

Important

Essential oils, cough medicines, solutions designed

for gargling, and drops for application to the skin or

for use in steam baths are wholly unsuitable for inha-

lation using a nebuliser. These substances are often

highly viscous and can impair the correct function of

the device and hence affect the effectiveness of its

application in the long term.

In the case of oversensitivity of the bronchial system,

medicines containing essential oils can sometimes

cause acute bronchiospasm (a sudden, cramp-like

tightening of the bronchi accompanied by breathless-

ness). Always ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice!
