6. Operation

Caution
• For hygiene reasons, the atomiser [8] and the ac-
cessories must be cleaned after each treatment and
disinfected after the last treatment of the day.
• If several different medicines are to be inhaled in suc-
cession during therapeutic use, the atomiser [8] must
be rinsed under warm tap water after each use. For
information about this, see "Cleaning and disinfec-
tion" on page 14.
• Follow the instructions for changing the filter con-
tained in these instructions.
• Before each use, check that the hose connections
on the nebuliser [4] and the atomiser [8] 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 [8] expels air, the
device is functioning correctly.
1. Filling the atomiser
• Open the lid of the atomiser [8].
• Fill with an isotonic saline solution
or pour the medication directly into
the atomiser [8]. Do not overfill! The
maximum recommended fill level is
8 ml !
• Use medication only on the advice of
a physician, and check the appropri-
ate inhalation 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 doctor.
2. Closing the atomiser
• Close the lid of the atomiser [8].
3. Connecting the accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the required accessory part (mouthpiece [11],
nosepiece [12], adult mask [13] or child mask [14]) to
the atomiser [8].
• Before commencing treatment, pull the atomiser up-
wards out of its holder [6].
• Start the nebuliser using the on/off switch [2].
• A flow of spray from the atomiser indicates that the
device is functioning properly.
4. Treatment
• Inhale the nebulised medicine deeply.
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!
5. End of inhalation
If the spray is only output sporadically or if the noise
changes during inhalation, you can end the treatment.
• After treatment, turn off the nebuliser at the switch
[2] and disconnect it from the mains.
• After use, replace the atomiser [8] in its holder [6].
