6. Operation

Important
• For hygiene reasons, it is essential to clean the atom-
iser [7] and the accessories after each treatment and
to disinfect them after the last treatment of the day.
• 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 [7] must be rinsed under warm tap water
following every usage. See "Cleaning and disinfection"
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 [5] and the atomiser [7] 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 [7], the device is working.
6.1 Inserting the atomiser insert
• Open the atomiser [7] by twisting the top anticlock-
wise against the medication container [8]. Place the
atomiser insert [9] into the medication container [8].
• Ensure that the cone for administering medication fits
well on the cone for the air duct inside the atomiser.
6.2 Filling the atomiser
• Fill with an isotonic saline solution
or pour the medication directly into
the medication container [8]. Avoid
overfilling. The maximum recom-
mended filling quantity is 6 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 medi-
cation is less than 2 ml, top this up
to at least 2 ml with isotonic saline solution. Dilution
is also necessary with viscous medications. Here too,
please observe the instructions of your doctor.
6.3 Closing the atomiser
• Close the atomiser [7] by twisting the top clockwise
against the medication container [8]. Ensure that the
connection is correct.
6.4 Connecting accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the atomiser [7] to the desired accessory
(mouthpiece [10], adult mask [11], children's mask [12]
or nosepiece [13]).
In addition to the accompanying adult [11] and children's
mask (from 2 years of age) [12], you also have the option
of using baby mask (from ages 0-3 years) with your ne-
buliser. The baby mask is not included in delivery with the
IH 58. You can find an overview of all replacement items
in chapter "12. Replacement parts and wearing parts".
Note
The most effective form of nebulisation is by using the
mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only recom-
mended if it is not possible to use a mouthpiece (e.g.
for children who are not yet able to inhale medication
using a mouthpiece).
