HOW TO USE THE RF9 NEBULISER WITH PARTICLE SIZE REGULATOR AND
VALVE SYSTEM
It is professional, quick, recommended for administering all types of medicinal prod-
ucts, even in patients with chronic diseases. The valve system optimises the dispens-
ing of the nebulised medicinal product to the patient and limits its dispersion in the
environment. Moreover, thanks to the particle size regulator, the size of nebulised
particles can be selected based on the respiratory system area where the medica-
tion is to be delivered. Indeed, with the 4 available modes, the bowl can dispense
particles of different sizes:

(1) In vitro testing performed by TÜV Rheinland Italia S.r.l. in collaboration with the University of Parma and in
compliance with the EN 13544-1: 2007 + A1 European Standard for aerosol therapy devices Standard. More
details are available on request.
(2) Data measured according to Flaem I29-P07.5 internal procedure Dispensing speed values may vary accord-
ing to the patient's respiratory capacity. More details are available on request.
(3) Data calculated on the basis of the values obtained with Malvern Spraytec, and compared with the values
of the tests performed at the University of Parma.
Select the desired position by means of the particle size
regulator C1.1.
By turning the regulator clockwise, the selector (C1.1c)
moves and closes the opening, while it opens if the
regulator is turned anti-clockwise.
