2.3 General safety notes
For safe handling of the unit you should comply with the
following general safety notes:
►Do NOT operate the unit in the presence of explosive gases
or in an explosion endangered environment.
►Before start-up check the proper condition of the unit (mains
cable, housing, chamber, hoses, filter, etc.).
►Aerosol and ventilation hoses free of loops, creases and
buckling.
►Stand the unit horizontally; inclination of the support area ≤3%.
►Do not cover the unit; the underside is provided with
ventilation slots, the air intake for aerosol transport is located
on the back of the unit.
►Ensure an adequate water level in the nebulizer chamber.
►Only aqueous solutions are permitted to be nebulized.
►Do not use any combustible fluids or carrier gases.
►Do not reach into the nebulizer chamber during operation.
►The nebulizer chamber must only be filled in assembled
condition.
►Operate the unit only with an appropriate water level.
►Remove the nebulizer chamber only when the unit is
switched off.
►After removing the nebulizer chamber the user should not
touch the uncovered contacts on the unit for safety reasons.
►When removing the nebulizer chamber the user should

Safety
HICO-ULTRASONAT 810 13
►The HICO-ULTRASONAT 810 is not intended for direct
inhalation via mouthpiece or face mask. The distance
between patient and aerosol hose should be at least 10 cm.
►Under hygienic aspects a cleaned, disinfected or (when
using disposable products) new nebulizer system must be
used when changing patients and/or nebulizer medium.
►Strictly comply with the ambient temperature range
(10 - 30 °C) and storage temperature range (10 - 40 °C).
►An ambient temperature of 30 °C must not be exceeded
when operating with a heated aerosol hose (danger of too
high aerosol temperature).
►The unit must only be operated with original HICO
accessories and an original bacteria filter.
►In operation do not use or combine the unit with other heat
sources, which may be available as accessories.
►Do not operate the unit in the vicinity of heat sources
(spotlights, direct insolation, radiators/
radiant heaters, etc.).
►Perform maintenance and operation related inspections by
following these operating instructions.
2.4 Danger sources
2.4.1 Danger of drowning
There is a risk that the patient may drown.
►In case of too direct and too long aerosol administration the
patient may suffer under drowning symptoms. Monitor the
type and duration of administration when using the unit on a
patient.
►Maintain a minimum distance of approx. 10 cm between
aerosol outlet and patient.
Transport and placement
HICO-ULTRASONAT 810 14

Transport and placement
HICO-ULTRASONAT 810 15
3.2 Unpacking
To unpack the device:
•Take the unit out of its box and remove the packaging
material.
•Stand the unit on a level and horizontal base with sufficient
load bearing capacity.
3.3 Waste disposal of packaging material
The packaging material protects the unit against transport
damage. The packaging material has been chosen under
environmental and waste disposal related aspects and is
therefore recyclable.
Returning packaging material to the material circulation system
saves raw materials and reduces the amount of waste. Return
packaging material, that is no longer needed, to the collecting
locations for the recycling system in your country.
►If possible keep the original packaging over the warranty
period, to be able to pack the unit again properly in case of a
warranty claim.

►When setting up the unit make sure you use a sterile, new or
cleaned nebulizer system, fresh filters (bacteria filter with
CE-sign) and coarse air filter.
4.2 Placement and setting up
4.2.1 Requirements on the set up place
For safe and fault-free operation of the unit the set up place
•must have sufficient load bearing capacity (weight of unit
approx. 4.5 kg).
•must be level.

Commissioning
HICO-ULTRASONAT 810 17
The optionally available five-foot rack meets these
prerequisites.
►If the unit is not exactly horizontal, the aerosol intensity may
be impaired.
Personal injuries and material damage may occur when
commissioning the unit!
►If the unit is not in a horizontal position, the oscillator may be
damaged during dry running.
►Placing the unit too far away from the patient may impair the
stability.

4.2.4 Standard setup as table unit
a) Press the nebulizing chamber (6) with the distance ring (5)
and the lid (4) slightly so that it engages in the bayonet lock
of the device (7), then turn slightly clockwise against the
stop.
b) Insert the coarse air filter (18) into the corresponding recess
(18a) on the device (7).
c) Plug ventilation hose (8), bacteria filter (11) and angle
adapter (12) together and connect the assembly to the
adapter connection (12a) on the device (7). Route the
ventilation hose along the front under the unit and connect it
to the lid (4).
d) Fasten the holding bar with blind plug (9b) to the device (7)
using the grip screw (13). For reasons of stability the stand
should touch the ground.
e) Fasten the supporting arm (1) for the aerosol hose (3) on
the holding bar with thread(9b) using clamping ring and grip
screw.(13)
f) Use clamps (2) to fasten the aerosol hose (3) on the
supporting arm.
g) Insert the end socket of the aerosol hose (3) into the second
opening of the lid on the nebulizer chamber (6), making
sure that the supporting arm (1) is adjusted in such a way,
that the aerosol hose (3) always remains stretched and has
a continuous descent towards the nebulizer chamber (6), so
that the condensed mist will flow back into the nebulizer
chamber.
h) Plug the mains cable into the unit and into a wall socket.
The unit is ready for operation. This is indicated by the
flashing LED to the left of the start button.
