• Please observe the notes on changing the filter in
these instructions for use.
• Check that hose connectors are firmly attached to the
nebuliser [6] and the atomiser [9] before each use of
the device.
• Before use, check the device is working correctly by
briefly switching on the nebuliser (together with the
connected atomiser, but without medication). If air
comes out of the atomiser [9], the device is working.
6.1 Inserting the atomiser insert
• Open the atomiser [9] by twisting the top anticlock-
wise against the medication container [10]. Place the
atomiser insert [11] into the medication container [10].
• Ensure that the cone for administering medication fits
well on the cone for the air duct inside the nebuliser.
6.2 Filling the atomiser
• Fill with an isotonic saline solution
or pour the medication directly
into the medication container [10].
Avoid overfilling. The maximum rec-
ommended filling quantity is 6 ml.
• Use medication only as instructed
by your doctor and ask about the
appropriate inhalation period and
quantity for you.
• If the prescribed quantity of medi-
cation is less than 2 ml, top this up
to at least 2 ml with isotonic saline solution. Dilution
is also necessary with viscous medications. Here too,
please observe the instructions of your doctor.
6.3 Closing the atomiser
• Close the atomiser [9] by twisting the top clockwise
against the medication container [10]. Ensure that the
connection is correct.
6.4 Connecting accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the atomiser [9] to the desired accessory
(mouthpiece [12], adult mask [13], children's mask [14]
or nosepiece [15]).
The most effective form of nebulisation is by using the
mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only recom-
mended if it is not possible to use a mouthpiece (e.g.
for children who are not yet able to inhale medication
using a mouthpiece).
If you are using the adult mask [13], you can secure it
to your head with the adult mask strap. There is also a
strap for the children's mask [14].
• Before the treatment, pull the atomiser upwards out
of the holder [4].
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch [1].
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that
the device is operating correctly.
6.5 Treatment
• When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and
not in an armchair to avoid compressing the airways
and therefore impairing the effectiveness of the treat-
ment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.

The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after
11
30 minutes of operation it must be switched off for 30
minutes.
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertical-
ly), otherwise the atomisation will not work and faultless
functionality is not guaranteed.
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and drops
to be used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly unsuit-
able for inhalation using a nebuliser. These additions are
often viscous and can impair the correct functioning of
the device and therefore the effectiveness of the applica-
tion in the long-term. For individuals with a hypersensitive
bronchial system, medications containing essential oils
may under certain conditions cause an acute bronchos-
pasm (a sudden cramp-like restriction of the bronchi with
