6. Operation

Caution
• For hygiene reasons, the atomiser [7] 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 [7] 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 [4] and the atomiser [7] 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 [7] expels air, the
device is functioning correctly.
1. Inserting the nozzle attachment
• To open the atomiser [7], twist the upper section anti-
clockwise against the medicine container [9]. Place
the nozzle attachment [8] in the medicine container
[9].
2. Filling the atomiser
• Pour an isotonic saline solution or
the medicine directly into the med-
icine container [9]. Do not overfill!
The maximum recommended fill
level is 6 ml !
• Use medication only on the advice
of a physician, and check the ap-
propriate inhalation duration and
quantity for your needs.
• If the required volume of medi-
cation is less than 2 ml, top up this quantity to at
least 4 ml using an isotonic saline solution. Viscous
medicines may also require dilution. Always follow
the instructions of your doctor.
3. Closing the atomiser
• To close the atomiser [7], twist the upper section
clockwise against the medicine container [9]. Ensure
the parts are connected correctly.
4. Connecting the accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the required accessory part (mouthpiece [10],
adult mask [11] or child mask [12]) to the atomiser [7].
• Before commencing treatment, pull the atomiser
upwards out of its holder [5].
• Start the nebuliser using the on/off switch [3].
• A flow of spray from the atomiser indicates that the
device is functioning properly.
Note
The most effective method of nebulisation is by us-
ing the mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only
recommended if it is not possible to use a mouthpiece
(e.g. for children who are not yet able to inhale medica-
tion using a mouthpiece).
• Before commencing treatment, pull the atomiser
upwards out of its holder [5].
• Start the nebuliser using the on/off switch [3].
• A flow of spray from the atomiser indicates that the
device is functioning properly.
5. Treatment
• Inhale the nebulised medicine deeply.
Note
During treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertical),
otherwise the atomisation does not work and correct
function cannot be guaranteed.
