Material Resistance - Beurer JIH 50 Gebrauchsanweisung

Drying
• Carefully dry all components using a soft cloth.
• Shake the mesh atomiser (3) lightly backwards and
forwards (5 to 10 times), so that the water inside
the mesh is removed from the small holes.
• Place the individual components on a dry, clean
and absorbent surface and allow to dry completely
(for at least 4 hours).
Note
Ensure that all parts are thoroughly dried after cleaning,
otherwise there is an increased risk of bacterial growth.
Once all components are fully dry, reassemble the
nebuliser and place the components in a dry, sealed
container.
Ensure that the mesh atomiser (3) has dried completely
by shaking it. Otherwise, nebulisation may not function
properly after reassembling the device.
If this is the case, disassemble the mesh atomiser (3)
again and shake it so that the water can escape. Once
it has been reassembled, the nebuliser should function
properly again as usual.

Material resistance

• When choosing a cleaning or disinfecting agent,
note the following: Only use mild cleaning or disin-
fectant agents in the quantities recommended by
the manufacturer.
• 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 rec-
ommend that you replace the atomiser and acces-
sories at least once a year.
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.
