7. Changing the filter

In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be
replaced after approx. 500 operating hours or one year.
Please check the air filter regularly (after 10-12 nebu-
lisation procedures). Replace the used filter if it is very
dirty or clogged. If the filter has become damp, it must
also be exchanged for a new filter.
Important
• Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse it.
• Only use the manufacturer's original filter, otherwise
your nebuliser may become damaged and sufficient-
ly effective treatment cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is in use.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
Important
• First switch the device off and disconnect it from the
mains.
• Allow the device to cool down.
1. Pull off the filter cap [5] to-
wards the front.
Note
If the filter remains in the device after the cap has been
removed, take the filter out of the device, e.g. with
tweezers or similar.

3. Ensure that it is securely in place.

8. Cleaning and disinfection

Atomiser and accessories
Warning
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid
health risks.
• The atomiser [8] and accessories are designed for
multiple use. Please note that different areas of ap-
plication involve different requirements in terms of
cleaning and hygienic preparation.
Notes:
• Do not clean the atomiser or the accessories mecha-
nically using a brush or similar device, as this could
cause irreparable damage and it will mean that the
best treatment results can no longer be guaranteed.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional
requirements in terms of the hygienic preparation
required (hand care, handling of medication/inhala-
tion solutions) for high-risk groups (e.g. patients with
cystic fibrosis).
• Ensure thorough drying after each cleaning or disin-
fection process. Residual moisture or wetness can
represent an increased risk of bacterial growth.

all parts of the atomiser [8] and the
accessories used must be cleaned
of residual medication and contami-
nation.

sal douche [n/a] into their individual
parts.
