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 [7] from the atomiser [8].
• Leave the hose plugged into the nebuliser [4].
• Run the nebuliser until all the moisture has been dis-
placed by the flow of air.
• In the event of significant contamination, replace the
hose.
Disinfection
Follow the steps listed below carefully in order to disin-
fect your atomiser and the accessories. It is advisable
to disinfect the individual components after the last
time they are used each day at the latest.
• First clean the atomiser and the accessories as de-
scribed under "Cleaning".
• The atomiser should be taken apart and placed to-
gether with the mouthpiece and nosepiece in boiling
hot water for at least 10 minutes. Avoid the parts
coming into contact with the hot base of the pot.
• You can also disinfect the atomiser, the mouthpiece
and the nosepiece with a standard vaporizer. Ob-
serve the manufacturer's instructions for use for the
vaporizer when doing this.
Note
The face masks and air hose must not be placed in
hot water!
• Carefully dry all components using a soft cloth.
• We recommend disinfecting the masks using a retail
disinfectant.
• Once all components are fully dry, reassemble the
atomiser and place the components in a dry, sealed
container.
Note
Ensure that all parts are thoroughly dried during, and
in particular after cleaning, otherwise there is an in-
creased risk of bacterial growth.
Drying
• Place the individual components on a dry, clean and
absorbent surface and allow to dry completely (for
at least 4 hours).
Material resistance
• As with all plastic components, frequent use and
cleaning of the atomiser and the accessories can lead
to a certain amount of wear. Over time, this can alter
the aerosol properties and may eventually affect the
efficiency of therapy. We therefore recommend that
you replace the atomiser after no more than a year.
• When choosing a cleaning or disinfecting agent, note
the following: Only use mild cleaning or disinfect-
ant agents in the quantities recommended by the
manufacturer.
Storage
• Do not store the nebuliser in a damp atmosphere
(e.g. in the bathroom) or transport it together with
damp objects.
• Store and transport the nebuliser away from direct
sunlight.
Storage
• The device and all accessories, e.g. the nebuliser
and masks, can be stored together in the storage
bag provided.

9. Disposal

In the interest of environmental protection, do not dis-
pose of the device in household waste.
Please dispose of the device in accordance with
EC Directive – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Elec-

propriate local authorities.
