INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning

Cleaning / Disinfection
Cleaning / Disinfection
For cleaning disconnect the mouthpiece with
the valve hose from the curved tube and insert
the drying spatula through the mouthpiece into
the hose. Important: Throughout the cleaning
process, the drying spatula must keep the valve
hose open to prevent it from sticking together.
Wash the parts in a solution of lukewarm clean
water and standard liquid soap detergent. Rin-
se with clear water. After this cleaning, all parts
may be cleaned in a vaporiser or for approx. 5
minutes in boiling water. Maximum temperature
134°C. If used regularly, clean the device at least
twice weekly.
Further cleaning options with the RC-Clean
cleaning bag (see accessories).
TIP: For cystic fibrosis patients, we recommend
remove the valve tube from the mouthpiece for
cleaning.

Drying
Drying
During the drying process, the drying spatula is
designed to hold the valve tube open to prevent
the tube from sticking. Shake off any excess
water and let all parts dry completely. Remove
the drying spatula while turning it slightly.

ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONS
I
If you have removed the valve tube from the
mouthpiece, attach it to the mouthpiece again,
evenly up to the four elongated elevations.
For insertion of the valve tube to the mouthpiece,
V
use the insertion aid in the curved tube
II
Please be sure that the flat side and the grooves
Please be sure that the flat side and the grooves
align with the arrow indicator on valve tube.

The tube cannot have kinks or bulges in the
curve. For this reason, you should always use the
insertion aid to guide the valve tube (and mouth-
piece) back into the curved tube.
Important:
Do not forget to remove the insertion aid!
Keep all parts out of the reach of children.

Breath out through the RC-Cornet
Breath out through the RC-Cornet
creates positive pressure in the bronchial system
as well as vibrations and a muffled sound. As
you become used to breathing out through the
RC-Cornet

By turning the mouthpiece, you can find the
most comfortable and effective setting for exact
pressure and flow fluctuations. Put the RC-Cornet
in the mouth as described above and securely
hold the mouthpiece with one hand. With the
other hand, slowly turn the tube clockwise while
blowing into it. Through blowing and slowly tur-
ning, the required pressure builds up and the re-
sulting sound changes.

, try to continue exhaling as long

as you can. If you must cough, try and cough up
the mucus. Imagine you want to ‚fog up' a pane of
glass or a mirror. By exhaling in this way, by 'huffing'
as the medical term is called, it should be easier for
you to expel mucus from the bronchial airways.
Please do not expel phlegm into the device!

The recommended usage is 3 times daily for
2-5 minutes as well as when you notice mucus
obstruction. As with all types of physical therapy,
the RC-Cornet
is most effective with regular usage.

PURPOSE FOR USE
The RC-Cornet
is an aid to loosen and remove
®
bronchial secretions associated with: Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
bronchiectasis, mucoviscidosis (cystic fibrosis),
pulmonary emphysema, unproductive cough,
diminished retraction force of the pulmonary
tissue, and smoker's cough.
Possible effects:
• rids irritating phlegm
• prevents unproductive coughing
. This
• broadens airways to the pulmonary alveoli
®
• reduces shortness of breath
• improves gas exchange
• increases lung capacity
• lowers airway resistance
. Recom-
• prevents the number of stays in the hospital
®
and the need for antibiotics
Notes:
Always begin therapy with position 0 and change
to the desired position after 2 minutes. Patients
with COPD, pulmonary emphysema, and smoker's
®
cough prefer positions 0 and 2. Patients with
bronchiectasis, mucoviscidosis (CF), and much
viscous, firm phlegm prefer positions 3 to 4.
ADVICE: The use of the RC-Cornet
on gravity. The device may be used when lying,
sitting, and standing. After you become accus-
tomed to the RC-Cornet
breathing technique. Breathe in through your
nose and exhale slowly through the RC-Cornet
Important: Please expel all of your breath through

Physiological effects:
The RC-Cornet
works through vibrations in the
®
chest which loosen and fluidize mucous in the
bronchial tubes so that it is easier to expel.
Negative effects:
No negative effects are known from treatment
with the RC-Cornet
. Hyperventilation (rapid
®
breathing) may cause slight dizziness, or
numbness in the mouth or hands.
These occurrences are not dangerous and will
disappear when normal breathing resumes.
Contraindications:
Presence of pneumothorax, blood-expectorating
cough (massive hemoptysis), and intracranial
pressure symptoms > 20 mm Hg.
