6. Operation

Caution
• For hygiene reasons, the atomiser [9] and the ac-
cessories must be cleaned after each treatment and
disinfected after the last treatment of the day.
• If several different medicines are to be inhaled in suc-
cession during therapeutic use, the atomiser [9] must
be rinsed under warm tap water after each use. For
information about this, see "Cleaning and disinfec-
tion" on page 15.
• Follow the instructions for changing the filter con-
tained in these instructions.
• Before each use, check that the hose connections
on the nebuliser [6] and the atomiser [9] are tight.
• Before use, check that the device is functioning cor-
rectly. To do this, switch on the nebuliser (including
the connected atomiser, but without any medication)
for a short time. If the atomiser [9] expels air, the
device is functioning correctly.

Important
Essential oils, cough medicines, solutions designed
for gargling, and drops for application to the skin
or for use in steam baths are wholly unsuitable for
inhalation using a nebuliser. These substances are
often highly viscous and can impair the correct func-
tion of the device and hence affect the effectiveness
of its application in the long term.
In the case of oversensitivity of the bronchial
system, medicines containing essential oils can
sometimes cause acute bronchiospasm (a sudden,
