1.3 Using the compressor
Thecompressor isan electricaldevice thatis powered by supply
voltage. It has been designed so that no live parts are accessi-
ble. However, if ambient conditions are unfavourable or if the
compressor or power cord is damaged, this protection may no
longer be assured. Therefore, please follow the instructions be-
low to avoid damage to the device and the associated danger of
contact with live parts (e.g., electric shock):
– Thecompressor is not splashproof. Protectthe device and the
powercord from liquid and moisture.Never handle the device,
the power cord or the power plug with damp hands. In addi-
tion, the device must not be operated in a damp environment.
– Only use the PARI power cord to operate the compressor.
– Never leave the compressor unattended while it is in use.
– Forsafetyreasons,alwaysdisconnectthepowerplugfromthe
socket under the following circumstances:
- if a malfunction occurs during operation
- before cleaning and maintaining the device
- immediately after use
– Always pull the power plug, not the cable, to disconnect the
power cord from the socket.
– Make sure that the power cord is never kinked, pinched or
jammed. Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges.
– Keep the compressor and the power cord away from hot sur-
faces (e.g., stove top, electric fire, open fire). Direct heat may
damage the compressor housing or the power cord insulation.
– Keep the power cord away from domestic animals (e.g., ro-
dents). They may damage the power cord insulation.
– The compressor must not be operated and/or the power plug
must be unplugged from the socket immediately if the com-
pressororthepowercordis damaged, orifafaultis suspected

1.4 Treatment of babies, children and anyone
who requires assistance
Babies, children and anyone who requires assistance must be
supervisedconstantlyby anadultduring inhalationtherapy.This
is the only way to ensure safe and effective treatment. Such per-
sons often underestimate the hazards involved (e.g. strangula-
tion with the power cord or the connection tubing), thus resulting
in a risk of injury.
The product contains small parts. Small parts can block the res-
piratory tract and lead to a choking hazard. Therefore, make
surethatyou always keepthe compressor, thenebuliser and the
accessories out of the reach of babies and infants.
The compressor is an electrically powered device. Babies, in-
fants, children, and anyone who requires assistance must be
supervised constantly by an adult during inhalation therapy. Oth-
erwise, safe and effective treatment cannot be guaranteed.
The device and the connection tubing at the compressor outlet
can become very warm during normal operation. Therefore, par-
ticularlywhen dealingwith individuals who require special assist-
ance, ensure that their skin does not come into contact with the
compressor.Prolongedcontactmaycauseburns,particularlyfor
patients with impaired temperature perception.
