Warehousing
Do not store the nebuliser in a damp atmosphere
(e.g. in the bathroom) or transport it together with
damp objects.
Store and transport the nebuliser away from direct
sunlight.
Storage
The accessories can be safely stored in the acces-
sories compartment [4]. Store the device in a dry
place, if possible in its original packaging.
9. Disposal
In the interest of environmental protection, do not dis-
pose of the device in household waste.
Please dispose of the device in accordance with
EU directive 2002/96/EC – WEEE (Waste Elec-
trical and Electronic Equipment).
If you have any questions, please contact the
local authorities responsible for waste disposal.
10. Troubleshooting
Problem/
Question
Possible Cause/Remedy
The atomiser
produces
little or no
aerosol.
1. Too much or too little medicine in
the atomiser.
Minimum: 0.5 ml, Maximum: 6 ml.
2. Check that the nozzles are not
blocked If necessary, clean the
nozzle (e.g. by rinsing). Use the
atomiser again.
CAUTION: Only poke implements
through the fine holes from the un-
derside of the nozzle.
3. The atomiser is not held in an
upright position.
4. The medicine solution is unsuitable
for nebulising (e.g. too thick). The
medicine solution should be speci-
fied by the doctor.
Output is too
low.
Hose kinked, filter blocked, too much
inhalation solution.
Which
medicines are
suitable for
inhalation?
Consult your doctor.
Essentially all medicines that are suit-
able and approved for device-based
inhalation can be inhaled.
Some inhala-
tion solution
remains in the
atomiser.
This is normal and occurs for techni-
cal reasons. Stop inhalation if you
hear a notable difference in the noise
of the atomiser.
Problem/
Question
Possible Cause/Remedy
What special
steps should
be taken for
babies and
children?
1. In babies, the mask should cover
the mouth and nose to guarantee
effective inhalation.
2. In children, the mask should also
cover the mouth and nose. Nebu-
lisation next to a sleeping person
is not suitable because insufficient
medicine reaches the lungs.
Note: Children should only use the
device with help and under supervi-
sion of an adult. Never leave a child
alone with the nebuliser.
Inhalation
with the mask
takes longer.
This is for technical reasons. Less
medicine is inhaled per breath
through the mask holes than using
the mouthpiece. The aerosol is mixed
with ambient air through the holes in
the mask.
Why do I need
to replace the
atomiser at
regular inter-
vals?
There are two reasons for this:
1. To guarantee a therapeutically
effective particle spectrum, the
nozzle holes should not exceed
a certain diameter. Due to the
thermal and mechanical stresses,
the plastic is subjected to a certain
amount of wear. The nozzle attach-
ment [10] is particularly susceptible
to this wear. This can also cause
changes to the droplet composi-
tion of the aerosol, which has a
direct effect on the effectiveness of
the treatment.
2. You are also recommended to
replace the atomiser on a regular
basis for hygiene reasons.
Does each
person need
their own
atomiser?
This is absolutely necessary for
hygiene reasons.
