Inhalation

5.1 Important notes

- Before the patient starts inhaling, ensure that all parts are firmly connected
to each other.
- Ensure that the airflow control (10) is fully seated on the nozzle (9).
- Ensure that the air outlets are connected firmly to the air connection on the
PARI compressor or the PARI CENTRAL and on the nebuliser.
Nebulisation can be adversely affected by an incorrectly assembled nebuliser.
Babies, infants, children, and anyone who requires assistance must
be supervised constantly by an adult during inhalation therapy.
Otherwise, safe and effective treatment cannot be guaranteed.
Caution: Contains small parts which can be swallowed!

5.2 Performing the inhalation

• Sit in an upright position and relax (see Figure D).
• Switch the compressor on or attach the connection tubing to the
PARI CENTRAL and insert it in the compressed air outlet in the hospital
wall provided for this purpose.
• Take the mouthpiece between your teeth and surround it with your lips (see
Figure E) or hold the mask firmly over the mouth and nose.
• Press the interrupter button (see Figure F).
• Breathe in through the mouthpiece or mask as slowly and deeply as pos-
sible (see Figure G).
• Release the interrupter button and breathe in a relaxed manner through the
mouthpiece or mask. The exhaled air should pass through the expiratory
valve in the mouthpiece or the valve plate in the mask (expiratory valve will
open, see Figure H).
• Continue breathing in and out as described until a change in the sound of
the nebuliser signals that the medicine has been used up.
• Check whether a clearly visible aerosol is still flowing from the nebuliser
(press interrupter button).
• Stop treatment as soon as the aerosol emerges irregularly.
• For continuous nebulising, press the interrupter switch and turn it gently
clockwise to lock it in place.
