1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION "
1.1 General
Please read these instructions for use carefully and completely. Do not
discard, so you can consult them at a later date. If you fail to comply with the
instructions for use, injury or damage to the device cannot be ruled out. "
If symptoms persist or if your condition worsens, discontinue the
application and contact your doctor immediately. "
1.2 Information about the instructions for use
These instructions for use are intended for the user at home. "
1.3 Structure of safety instructions
Safety-critical warnings are categorised according to hazard levels in these
instructions for use: "
– $The signal word CAUTION is used to indicate hazards which, without
precautionary measures, can result in minor to moderate injury or
impair treatment. "
– $The signal word NOTICE is used to indicate general pre-cautionary
measures which are to be observed to avoid damaging the product
during use. "
1.4 Treatment of babies, children and anyone who requires
assistance
Babies, children and anyone who requires assistance must be supervised
constantly by an adult during inhalation therapy. This is the only way to
ensure safe and effective treatment. Individuals in this group often
underestimate the hazards involved (e.g. strangulation 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 airways and lead
to a choking hazard. Therefore, make sure that you always keep the
compressor, the nebuliser and the accessories out of the reach of babies
and infants. "
Special masks may be obtained for treating babies and infants who are not
yet able to inhale using the mouthpiece. "
The nebulisers are only designed for patients who are able to breathe by
themselves and are conscious. This is the only way to ensure effective
treatment and avoid a choking hazard. "

nozzle attachment.
Be sure to follow the instructions regarding the minimum and maximum fill
volumes [see: Technical data, !
of 7 13

page 13]. If the nebuliser contains too little
or too much medication, nebulisation, and
thus also the treatment, will be greatly
impaired.
•Close the nebuliser cap.!
Make sure that the cap snaps into place. !
!
If you are to inhale several medications
one after the other in one application,
rinse out the nebuliser with tap water
between inhalations. Remove excess
water by shaking the nebuliser and then
fill with medication as described. !

•Take the nebuliser out of its holder and hold it upright. "
•Take the mouthpiece between your teeth and close your lips around it or
press the mask lightly over the mouth and nose. "
•Breathe in through the mouthpiece or mask as slowly and deeply as
possible, and then breathe out in a relaxed manner. "

the sound of the nebuliser)"
of 8 13

•Replace the nebuliser in the holder as soon as you have finished inhaling."

4 CLEANING AND DISINFECTION AT HOME "
The nebuliser and the accessories used must be cleaned thoroughly after
each application and disinfected at least once a day. "
The connection tubing cannot be cleaned or disinfected. "
4.1 Preparation
#•#Detach the connection tubing from the nebuliser. "
# •# Make sure that all medication residues are removed from the nebuliser. "
# •# Dismantle the nebuliser into its individual parts. "
# •# Carefully pull the blue expiratory
valve out of the slot in the
mouthpiece. The valve must still be
attached to the mouthpiece. "
# •# Rinse all components of the
nebuliser under running tap water.
This must be done especially
thoroughly if cleaning and disinfection are not carried out straight
away. "
4.2 Care of the connection tubing
#•#Connect the connection tubing to the compressor. "
# •# Switch the compressor on. "
# •# Leave the compressor running until any condensation in the
connection tubing has been removed by the air flowing into it. "
"
4.3 Cleaning
"
# •# Place all disassembled components in
warm tap water with a little
dishwashing liquid for at least 5 min. If
necessary, use a clean brush to
remove loose dirt (the brush must be
reserved exclusively for this purpose). "
of 9 13

# •# Rinse all parts thoroughly in running water. "
# •# You can remove excess water more quickly by shaking all parts. "
4.4 Disinfection
&
After cleaning, disinfect the dismantled nebuliser and accessories used
(except for the connection tubing). Effective disinfection is only possible if
the nebuliser has been cleaned. "
Information when using masks with rubber bands: "
The rubber band can only be cleaned as it might be damaged by the high
temperatures used during disinfection.
!
CAUTION !
A damp environment may encourage the growth of bacteria. Therefore,
remove all parts from the pot or disinfector as soon as disinfection has
finished. Dry the parts. The risk of infection is reduced when the parts are
dried completely.
In boiling water "
# •# Place all the individual parts in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. &
Use a clean pot and fresh water with reduced calcium content, if
possible. "
Plastic will melt if it comes into contact with the hot base of the pot.
Therefore, make sure there is plenty of water in the pot. This way you
will avoid damaging the components. "
# •# You can remove excess water more quickly by shaking all parts. "
Using a standard thermal disinfector for baby bottles (not a microwave
oven)
For effective disinfection, use a disinfector with a runtime of at least 6
minutes. Regarding disinfection, the duration of the disinfection procedure
and the quantity of water required for this, follow the instructions for use of
the disinfector you are using."
