Principle of nebulisation and main features
Principle of nebulisation
1. PROFI SONIC H transmits the energy of ultrasonic
vibrations from the vibrator located at the bottom of
the water tank into water.
2. The ultrasonic vibrations are transmitted to the me-
dication cup through the water in the water tank.
3. The ultrasonic vibrations emit medication from the
medication cup (like a fountain) and it is dispersed as
aerosol.
4. Air from the fan carries this nebulised medication out
of the medication cup.
Main features of the product
1. Easy to use large LCD displays air volume, nebulisation rate, remaining time, and error
location. The back-light illumination featured in the unit enables checking of the
display in the dark.
2. LCD screen is touch sensitive which enables interactive operation. The unit has a
notification buzzer which produces a short sound each time a user touches a co-
mmand on the screen.
3. The buzzer produces characteristic sounds when the time set by the timer is comple
ted or when an error occurs.
4. With the use of a touch screen display, the air volume, nebulisation rate, heating level
and time can be set easily and quickly. The unit can handle various inhalation therapies
with the use of various optional parts.

How to prepare before inhalation
1. Disassembling the nebulisation unit
Rotate the medication cup cover fixing lever
clockwise. Take the medication cup holder (plastic
ring) located below the cup cover and lift it up. In this
way, the nebulisation section is removed.
Note: Medication cup holder is a three-legged part
which keeps it steady on the table.
2. Filling the cooling water
Fill the cooling water in the water tank . The proper
amount is approximately 300ml. Pour some water
until the sensor level float in the water tank rises to its
upper position. Recommended water temperature is
approximately 25°C. To prevent scale buildup in the
water tank, use distilled or demineralised water instead
of tap water.
3. Attaching the nebulisation unit
Attach the nebulisation unit to the water tank . Be
sure that the air duct on the rear side of the nebulisation
unit is adjusted properly to the air filter cover .

time as set before will appear below. The button will disappear and the button
will turn into . The inhalation session will then start automatically when desired
inhalation starting time is reached. From that moment on, the unit is to be handled as
with manually started inhalation.
When completed or interrupted (inhalation) the inhalation time will disappear, e.g.
inhalation time may be set for a single inhalation session only.
Note: If you need to immediately start an inhalation session, press the button to erase
the time previously set, and then press the button. Inhalation will start immediately
and the time previously set will be deleted.
