USE
The 28085 ultrasound aerosol is used to treat asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders and other
breathing problems in which a therapy with aerosol is required. It is suitable for use in one single patient.
CLEANING AND ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
It is important to clean the Aerosol before use and after every use, drying it well in every part.
Remember: remove the plug and do not plunge in water
1. Remove the cover
2. Remove any medicine left in the container
3. Remove the water from the tank
4. Rinse the air nozzle, the extension tube and the mask in warm running water for 30 seconds
5. Clean the main element, the cover and the lower air cover as well as the water tank using a damp
cloth and a normal detergent
6. Dry using a clean cloth
Once or twice a week
1. Clean the air nozzle, the extension tube and the mask in a much more in-depth manner. Plunge them
in a solution containing 1 glass of white vinegar and 2 glasses of warm water for 30 minutes.
2. Remove and rinse them.
3. Clean the main unit, the cover, the small air cover and the water tank using a soft cloth with water
and a normal detergent.
4. Dry using a clean cloth.
OPERATION OF THE AEROSOL
Following the instructions provided above for cleaning before using the ultrasound Aerosol for the rst
time or after a long period in which the device is not used.
Remember: Always remove the plug before carrying out cleaning operations and lling with
every use.
1. The operator should sit in a comfortable and erect position.
2. Connect the aerosol to the plug
3. Press the ignition button at the back of the device in order to activate the stand-by mode. The green
light will turn on.
First step: ll the water tank
1. Remove the cover by lifting it, pull out the medicine container if available
2. Use water at a temperature of between 20°C and 30°C (68°F and 86°F), otherwise nebulisation will
be affected. The use of distilled water or a physiological solution is preferred as these liquids prevent
the formation of limestone inside the device that may be ruined if limestone is formed at the base of the
device, a base that allows for the activation of ultrasounds.
3. Fill the tank with 70 ml of water as described above, until reaching the black plastic base.
NB: -The use of cold water (below 20°C or 68°F) would generate a low level of nebulisation
-The use of hot water (more than 30°C or 86°F) would generate greater nebulisation
Second step: Fill the medicine container
1. Place the medicine container inside the water tank
2. Pour the medicine directly into the relative container
3. Put the cover back on as well as the air cover and press the stand-by button to start nebulisation
Remember:
- The maximum capacity of the medicine container is 10 ml and this level should not be
exceeded
- Only use medicinal products recommended by your doctor

The aerosol is programmed initially for level 1 (low level of nebulisation).
According to indications given by a therapist, the operator may select level 2 or level 3 (the maximum level
of nebulisation) by pressing the respective nebulisation commands. By pressing the button repeatedly,
level 2 or 3 may be selected or level 1.
After use press the stand-by button in order to stop nebulisation. The switch on the side is used to turn
the aerosol off.
Warning: Do not put the air nozzle directly in your mouth. Use the accessories recommended
with the air nozzle.
Third step: after each use
1. Remove the plug of the aerosol
2. Carefully remove the medicine container and dispose of the medicine left over
3. Empty the water tank
4. Dry the product in the best possible way
