Hygienic Preparation - Flaem Rf9 Bedienungsanleitung

SoftTouch masks
Soft
SoftTouch masks have an outer edge made of soft, biocompatible ma-
biocompatible
terial that ensures an optimal fit on the face, and are also equipped with
material
theinnovative Dispersion Limiter. These characteristic features allow
for greater sedimentation of the drug in the patient, and again limit its
dispersion.
Dispersion
Limiter
Upon inhalation, the tab, which acts as
a Dispersion Limiter, bends inwards in
the mask.
USE OF MANUAL NEBULISATION CONTROL
In order to achieve continuous nebulisation, it is advisable not to apply the manual nebulisation con-
trol (B9), especially in the case of children or care-dependent persons. The manual nebulisation control
helps limit the dispersion of the drug into the surrounding environment.
To activate nebulisation, plug
the hole of the manual
nebulisation control (B9) with
a finger and inhale gently and
deeply; it is recommended
that after inhaling you hold
your breath for a moment so
that the inhaled aerosol
droplets can settle,

HYGIENIC PREPARATION

Hygienic preparation must be performed away from electrical connections or sources.
Outside of the hose (B1)
Use only a cloth moistened with antibacterial detergent (non-abrasive and free of solvents of any kind).
Nebuliser and accessories
Open the nebuliser by turning the upper part (B2.3) anticlockwise, detach the nozzle (B2.2) and the
speed selector (B2.4) from the upper part (B2.3) as shown in the "Connection diagram" in B2.
Then proceed according to the instructions below.
Sanitisation
Before and after each use, sanitise the nebuliser and accessories by choosing one of the methods
provided in the table and described below.
method A: Sanitise the accessories under warm drinking water (approx. 40°C) with mild dishwashing
detergent (non-abrasive).
method B: Sanitise the accessories in the dishwasher with the hot cycle (70°C).
method C: Sanitise the accessories by soaking in a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar, then
rinse thoroughly with warm drinking water (approx. 40°C).
After sanitising the accessories, shake them vigorously and place them on a paper towel, or
alternatively dry them with a hot air jet (e.g. hair dryer).
Disinfection
After sanitising the nebuliser and accessories, disinfect them using one of the methods provided in the
table and described below. Each method can be performed for a limited number of times (see figure
in table).
method A: Obtain a disinfectant of the electrolytic chloride type (active ingredient: sodium
hypochlorite), specifically for disinfection, available in all pharmacies.
Execution:
Upon exhalation, the tab, which acts as
a Dispersion Limiter, bends outwards
from the mask.
In the meantime, to stop
nebulisation, remove your finger
from the hole of the manual
nebulisation control, thus
preventing the waste of
medication and optimising its
administration. Then exhale slowly.
