also require dilution. Always follow the instructions
of your doctor.
3. Closing the atomiser
Close the lid of the medicine container (2) and click
the clip in place, and then refit the cover (1).
4. Fitting accessories
When the required accessories (mouthpiece, adu lt
mask or child mask) have been attached to the de-
vice, attach the device firmly to the assembled medi-
cine container (2).
The adult mask and child mask must be fitted using
the connecting piece (12) (adapter).
Now place the device to your mouth and close your
lips firmly around the mouthpiece. When using either
of the masks, place it over the nose and mouth.
Start the device using the on/off button (5).
The spray mist coming from the device and the illu-
minated blue LEDs (4) show that the device is work-
ing perfectly.
5. Inhaling correctly
Breathing technique
The right breathing technique is important to ensure
that the particles are distributed as widely as pos-
sible into the air ways. So that they can enter the air
ways and lungs, you must inhale slowly and deeply,
hold your breath briefly (5 to 10 seconds) and then
exhale quickly.
You should only use nebulisers to treat respiratory
disorders if advised to do so by your doctor, who will
recommend the medicine, dose and application for
inhalation therapy.
Certain medicines are only available on prescription.
Note
You should hold the device as upright as possi-
ble. Tilting it slightly will not, however, affect its
function, since the container is leakproof. To en-
sure that the device functions correctly, make sure
that you do not tilt it more than 45 ° in any direction
and that the medicine is in contact with the mesh
while in use.
Important
Essential oils, cough medicines, solutions designed
for gargling, and drops for application to the skin or for
use in steam baths are wholly unsuitable for inhalation
using a nebuliser. These substances are often highly
viscous and can impair the correct function of the de-
vice and hence affect the effectiveness of its applica-
tion in the long term.
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 16.
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.
