Pari VELOX Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 47

How long should an inhalation session last?
The VELOX generates an aerosol
tion treatment from the medication that is ad-
ded to the reservoir. During an inhalation ses-
sion, the aerosol escapes from the valve as a
mist when it is exhaled through the mouth-
piece. This continues until no more medication
can be nebulised. Inhalation can be stopped
as soon as no more mist comes out.
For technical reasons, a small portion of the medication cannot be nebulised and
collects in the aerosol chamber. The amount of residual medication varies ac-
cording to the quantity of medication poured into the reservoir. The quantity of
medication that must be added to the reservoir is adjusted so that sufficient med-
ication can be nebulised even after taking the residue into account.
The residue should be disposed of as soon as the inhalation session is finished,
to prevent it from being spilled.
Interrupting the inhalation session
Always switch the VELOX off whenever you want to interrupt the inhalation session
briefly.
If the device continues to nebulise medication that is not being inhaled, unused med-
ication escapes into the atmosphere and the quantity left in the aerosol chamber in-
creases. This creates the risk that too little medication will be inhaled.
