Impaired treatment due to escaping aerosol
If the mask does not form a seal on the face, aerosol may escape. This may result in
medication underdosage.
• Make sure that the mask completely covers both corners of the mouth and the nose.
• Take note of possible side effects caused by escaping aerosol. These are described in
the information for use of the respective medication.

• Check whether the exhalation valve is pressed out-
wards, to ensure that the user can breathe out freely
during the inhalation session.

mouth and nose.
Ensure that the nebuliser is positioned vertically.
