Beurer IH 26 Kids Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 18

• The accessories may only be used by one person;
use by several people is not recommended.
• If the treatment involves inhaling several different
medications one after the other, please be aware
that the atomiser [8] must be rinsed under warm tap
water following every usage. See "Cleaning and dis-
infection" on page 20.
• Please observe the notes on changing the filter in
these instructions for use.
• Check that hose connectors are firmly attached to
the nebuliser [4] and the atomiser [8] 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 [8], the device is working.
6.1 Installing the atomiser insert
• Open the atomiser [8] by twisting the top anticlock-
wise against the medication container [11]. Place the
atomiser insert [9] into the medication container [11].
• Ensure that the cone for administering medication fits
well on the cone for the air duct inside the atomiser
[8].
6.2 Filling the atomiser
• Fill with an isotonic saline solution
or pour the medication directly in-
to the medication container [11].
Avoid overfilling. The maximum
recommended filling quantity is 8
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 medication is less than
2 ml, top this up to at least 4 ml with isotonic saline
solution. Dilution is also necessary with viscous me-
dications. Here too, please observe the instructions
of your doctor.
6.3 Closing the atomiser
• Close the atomiser [8] by twisting the top clockwise
against the medication container [11]. Ensure that
the connection is correct.
6.4 Inserting the valve
• Press the blue valve [10] into the opening intended
for this purpose on the upper side of the atomiser
[8].
Note
The valve system ensures better delivery of the me-
dication to the lungs. Only use the valve [10] with the
mouthpiece [12], never with the masks [13, 14] or the
nosepiece [n/a.].
6.5 Connecting accessories to the atomiser
• Attach the desired accessory to the atomiser [8]. The
mouthpiece [12] or nosepiece [n/a] can be directly
attached. The children's mask [13] and baby mask
[14] must be attached to the atomiser using the an-
gled fitting [15].
Note
The most effective form of nebulisation is by using
the mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only re-
commended if it is not possible to use a mouthpiece
(e.g. for children who are not yet able to inhale using
a mouthpiece).
When using a mask to inhale, take care to ensure the
mask fits well and the eyes are unobstructed.
• Before the treatment, pull the atomiser [8] upwards
out of the holder [6].
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch [2].
10
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that
the device is operating correctly.
6.6 Treatment
• Hold or place the baby or infant to be treated in the
most upright position possible. Do not use the device
9
when the baby or infant to be treated is lying down.
11
• When inhaling, older children and adults should sit
upright and relaxed at a table and not in an armchair
to avoid compressing the airways and therefore im-
pairing the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.
Important
The device is not suitable for continuous operation;
after 30 minutes of operation it must be switched off
for 30 minutes.
Note
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (ver-
tically), otherwise the atomisation will not work and
faultless functionality is not guaranteed.
