Cleaning And Disinfection - Beurer IH 50 Mode D'emploi

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!
6. End of inhalation
• After treatment, switch off the device using the on/
off button (5).
• The LEDs (4) go out.
• Once the inhalant has been fully sprayed out, the
device switches off automatically.
For technical reasons, a small amount may still re-
main in the medicine container (2).
• Do not use it.
• If applicable, disconnect the power pack (13) from
the mains.
7. Clean the device
For information about this, see "Cleaning and disinfec-
tion" on page 17.

8. Cleaning and disinfection

Warning
Observe the following hygiene instructions in order to
avoid any health risks.
• The nebuliser and accessories are intended for mul-
tiple use. Please note that cleaning and hygienic re-
conditioning requirements differ according to the dif-
ferent areas of application.
Note
• Do not clean the mesh or accessories with brushes
or similar, as this may cause irreparable damage, and
this will mean that the intended result of the treat-
ment is no longer guaranteed.
• For additional requirements regarding the necessary
hygienic preparations (hand washing, handling of
medicines or inhalation solutions) in high-risk groups
(e.g. cystic fibrosis patients), contact your doctor.
Cleaning
The mesh atomiser and container, as well as acces-
sories such as mouthpiece, mask, connecting piece,
etc. must be cleaned with hot water after each use.
Carefully dry all components using a soft cloth. Once
all components are fully dry, reassemble the atomiser
and place the components in a dry, sealed container
or carry out disinfection.
• Remove the mouthpiece and any accessories from
the atomiser.
• Add 6 ml of clean water to the medicine container (2)
and switch on the device to first remove any medicine
residue from the mesh. (Please spray the entire liquid).
• Remove the batteries.
• Remove the detachable parts from the device, e.g.
mesh atomiser or medicine container and cover.
Disassembly
To continue with cleaning
its individual components,
disassemble the atomiser
(2, 3):
• Remove the medicine
container (2) and mesh
atomiser (3) by pressing
both brackets inwards
and drawing the unit
out.
• Remove the mesh
atomiser (3) from the
medicine container (2)
by turning it
anticlockwise and
drawing it out.
• The nebuliser is later
reassembled in the re-
verse order.
Important
Never hold the complete device under running wa-
ter to clean it.
When cleaning, ensure that all residues are removed.
Never use any substances that may be poisonous
when in contact with the skin or mucous membranes,
or when swallowed or inhaled.
If required, you can clean the device casing with a
lightly moistened cloth that has been soaked in mild
soapy water.
• If there is any residue from medical solutions or con-
tamination on the silver-coloured contacts of the de-
vice or atomiser, clean with a cotton bud moistened
with ethyl alcohol.
• Clean the outside of the mesh and outside of the
medicine container with a cotton bud dampened with
ethyl alcohol.
Important
• Before you clean the unit, always switch it off, unplug
it and let it cool off.
• Do not use abrasive detergents and never immerse
the unit in water.
