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 inha-
lation using a nebuliser. These substances are often
highly viscous and can impair the correct function 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, cramp-like
tightening of the bronchi accompanied by breathless-
ness). Always ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice!
6. End of inhalation
If the spray is only output sporadically or if the noise
changes during inhalation, you can end the treatment.
• After treatment, turn off the nebuliser at the switch
[3] and disconnect it from the mains.
• After use, replace the atomiser [7] in its holder [5].
7. Clean the device
For information about this, see "Cleaning and disinfec-
tion" on page 15.

7. Changing the filter

Check the filter regularly (e.g. after every tenth use).
Replace the used filter if it is very dirty or blocked, but
at the latest after 30 days. If the filter has become wet,
it must also be replaced with a new one.
Caution
• Do not try to clean and re-use the used filter!
• Only use original filters supplied by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, your nebuliser may become damaged or
effective therapy can no longer be guaranteed.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
Caution
• First switch off the unit and unplug it.
• Allow the unit to cool down.
1. Remove filter cap [2] as
indicated by the arrow.
Note
If the filter remains in the unit when the cap is removed,
remove the filter from the unit using tweezers or similar.
2. Replace the filter cap [2] containing the new filter.
3. Check that the filter cap is firmly in place.

8. Cleaning and disinfection

Atomiser and accessories
Warning
Observe the following hygiene instructions in order to
avoid any health risks.
• The atomiser [7] and accessories are intended for
multiple use. Please note that cleaning requirements
differ according to the different application areas.
Notes:
• The atomiser and accessories must not be me-
chanically cleaned with brushes or similar as this
can cause irreparable damage and the success of
the treatment can no longer be guaranteed.
• For additional requirements regarding the necessary
hygienic preparations (hand washing, handling of
medicines or inhalation solutions) in high-risk groups
(e.g. cystic fibrosis patients), contact your doctor.
• Ensure that all parts are properly dried following all
cleaning and disinfection. Residual moisture or water
droplets can result in an increased risk of bacterial
growth.
Preparation
• Directly following each treatment, all parts of the
atomiser [7] and any accessories used must be
cleaned of medicine residues and contamination.
• To do this, dismantle the atomiser [7] into its indi-
vidual parts.
• Remove the mouth piece [10] or mask [11, 12] from
the atomiser.
• Dismantle the atomiser by twisting
the upper section anti-clockwise
against the medicine container [9].
• Remove the nozzle attachment [8]
from the medicine container [9].
• The nebuliser is later reassembled
in the reverse order.
Cleaning
Important
Before you clean the unit, always switch it off, unplug
it and let it cool off.
The atomiser and any accessories used, such as the
mouthpiece, mask, nozzle attachment, etc., must be
cleaned with hot water.
Carefully dry all components using a soft cloth. Once
all components are fully dry, reassemble the atomiser
and place the components in a dry, sealed container
or carry out disinfection.
When cleaning, ensure that all residues are removed.
Never use any substances that may be poisonous
