Clean the device using a damp cloth, to
which you can apply a little detergent if ne-
cessary.
Do not use abrasive detergents and never
immerse the unit in water.
Important
• Ensure that no water penetrates inside the
unit!
• Do not put the device or accessories in a
dishwasher.
• Do not touch the unit with wet hands while
it is plugged in; do not allow any water to
be sprayed onto the unit. The unit must be
operated only when it is completely dry.
• Do not spray any liquids into the ventilation
slots. Any liquid that penetrates into the
unit can damage the electrical parts or
other components of the nebuliser and im-
pair the function of the device.
Condensation, care of the hose
Depending on the environmental condi-
tions, condensation may collect in the
hose. To prevent against bacterial growth
and to ensure effective therapeutic use,
this moisture must always be removed. To
remove moisture from the hose, proceed
as follows:
• Remove the hose [8] from the atomiser
[9].
• Leave the hose plugged into the nebu-
liser [6].
• Run the nebuliser until all the moisture
has been displaced by the flow of air.
• In the event of significant contamination,
replace the hose.
Disinfection
Follow the steps listed below carefully in or-
der to disinfect your atomiser and the acces-
sories. It is advisable to disinfect the individ-
ual components after the last time they are
used each day at the latest. (For disinfection,
you will simply require a small amount of
clear vinegar and distilled water).
• First clean the atomiser and the accesso-
ries as described under "Cleaning".
• Make up a vinegar solution consisting of
¼ vinegar and ¾ distilled water. Ensure
that there is sufficient solution to fully im-
merse all parts such as the nebuliser,
mask, and mouthpiece.
• Leave the components in the vinegar solu-
tion for 30 minutes.
• Rinse the atomiser and the individual
components (mask/mouthpiece etc.) with
water.
• Carefully dry all components using a soft
cloth.
• Once all components are fully dry, reas-
semble the atomiser and place the com-
ponents in a dry, sealed container.
Note:
Ensure that all parts are thoroughly dried dur-
ing, and in particular after cleaning, otherwise
there is an increased risk of bacterial growth.
Drying
• Place the individual components on a
dry, clean and absorbent surface and al-
low to dry completely (for at least 4
hours).
