6. Operation

Caution
• For hygiene reasons, the atomiser [7] and the ac-
cessories must be cleaned after each treatment and
disinfected after the last treatment of the day.
• The accessories may be used only by one person;
use by several people is not recommended.
• If several different medicines are to be inhaled in suc-
cession during therapeutic use, the atomiser [7] must
be rinsed under warm tap water after each use. For
information about this, see "Cleaning and disinfec-
tion" on page 15.
• 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 [7] are tight.
• Before use, check that the device is functioning cor-
rectly. To do this, switch on the nebuliser (including

propriate inhalation duration and
quantity for your needs.

cation is less than 2 ml, top up this quantity to at
