6.3 Closing the atomiser
• Close the atomiser [9] by twisting the top clockwise
against the medication container [12]. Ensure that
the connection is correct.
6.4 Inserting the valve
• Press the blue valve [11] into the opening intended
for this purpose on the upper side of the atomiser
[9].
Note
The valve system ensures better delivery of the medi-
cation to the lungs. Only use the valve [11] with the
mouthpiece [13], never with the masks [14, 15] or the
nosepiece [16].
6.5 Connecting accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the atomiser [9] to the desired accessory
(mouthpiece [13], adult mask [14], children's mask
[15] or nosepiece [16]).
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).
If you are using the adult mask [14] you can secure it
to your head with the adult mask strap. There is also a
strap for the children's mask [15].
• Before the treatment, pull the atomiser upwards out
of the holder [6].
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch [2].
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that
the device is operating correctly.
6.6 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.
• Breathe in the atomised medication 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 the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (ver-
tically), otherwise the atomisation will not work and
faultless functionality is not guaranteed.
Important
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and
drops to be used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly
unsuitable for inhalation using a nebuliser. These ad-
ditions are often viscous and can impair the correct
functioning of the device and therefore the effectiveness
of the application in the long-term. For individuals with a
hypersensitive bronchial system, medications contain-
ing essential oils may under certain conditions cause an
acute bronchospasm (a sudden cramp-like restriction
of the bronchi with shortness of breath). Consult your
doctor or pharmacist in relation to this matter.
6.7 Stopping inhalation
Once the mist is only coming out in an irregular flow
or if the sound changes when inhaling, you can stop
the treatment.
• Switch off the nebuliser after treatment using the On/
Off switch [2] and disconnect it from the mains.
• Place the atomiser [9] back in its holder [6] after the
treatment.
6.8 Nasal douche

You can use the nasal douche to clean your nasal cavi-
ties. The nasal douche creates a fine jet of liquid for
treating respiratory tract problems or for moistening
the nasal mucous membranes.
We recommend using the nasal douche for colds, dry-
ness inside the nose, dust exposure, pollen allergies,
chronic inflammation of the sinuses or upon the advice
of your doctor.
Warning
• Do not use the nasal douche in combination with
other medication or essential oils.
Important
• The nasal douche should only be used with isotonic
saline solutions.
• Replace the nasal douche after a year.
The maximum volume of the nasal douche is 10 ml. If
you are unsure about the correct dilution of the saline
solution, please consult your doctor.
