Drying
Carefully dry all components using a soft cloth.
Shake the mesh atomiser (3) lightly backwards and
forwards (5 to 10 times), so that the water inside the
mesh is removed from the small holes.
Place the individual components on a dry, clean and
absorbent surface and allow to dry completely (for
at least 4 hours).
Note
Ensure that all parts are thoroughly dried after cleaning,
otherwise there is an increased risk of bacterial growth.
Once all components are fully dry, reassemble the
nebuliser and place the components in a dry, sealed
container.
Ensure that the mesh atomiser (3) has dried completely
by shaking it. Otherwise, nebulisation may not function
properly after reassembling the device.
If this is the case, disassemble the mesh atomiser (3)
again and shake it so that the water can escape. Once
it has been reassembled, the nebuliser should function
properly again as usual.
Material resistance
When choosing a cleaning or disinfecting agent, note
the following: Only use mild cleaning or disinfectant
agents in the quantities recommended by the manu-
facturer.
As with all plastic components, frequent use and
cleaning of the atomiser and the accessories can
lead to a certain amount of wear. Over time, this can
alter the aerosol properties and may eventually af-
fect the efficiency of therapy. We therefore recom-
mend that you replace the atomiser and accessories
at least once a year.
Storage
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.
Troubleshooting
Problem/
Question
Possible Cause/Remedy
The nebuliser
produces little
or no aerosol.
1
. Insufficient medicine in the
atomiser.
2
. The atomiser is not held in an up-
right position.
3
. The medicine used is unsuitable
for spraying (e.g. too thick, viscos-
ity must be less than 3).
The medicine solution should be
specified by the doctor.
Problem/
Question
Possible Cause/Remedy
Output is too
low.
1
. The batteries are flat. Replace the
batteries or connect the power
supply unit and try again.
2
. There are air bubbles inside the
medicine container which are pre-
venting the medicine from coming
into continuous contact with the
mesh. Please check and remove
any air bubbles.
3
. Particles on the mesh are imped-
ing output. To remove the par-
ticles, fill the nebuliser with 2 to
3 drops of vinegar and 3 to 6 ml
of water, then nebulise this solu-
tion completely. Do not inhale this
spray and ensure that you clean
and disinfect the medicine con-
tainer afterwards (see page 16).
If the output does not improve, re-
place the mesh.
4. The mesh is worn out.
Which medi-
cines are suit-
able for inhala-
tion?
Only the doctor can advise you
which medicine to use to treat your
condition. Consult your doctor.
With the IH 50, you can atomise
medicines with a viscosity lower
than 3.
Some inhala-
tion solution
remains in the
nebuliser.
This is normal and occurs for techni-
cal reasons. Stop inhaling as soon
as you can hear a marked differ-
ence in the sound made by the at-
omiser, or when the device switches
off automatically due to insufficient
inhalant.
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 us-
ing the mouthpiece. The aerosol is
mixed with ambient air through the
holes in the mask.
Does each user
need their own
accessories?
This is absolutely necessary for hy-
giene reasons.
