The VOLCANO MEDIC 2 Vaporization
System is intended for vaporizing and
then inhaling dronabinol (THC) dis-
solved in alcohol or cannabinoids from
hempowers(cannabisos).
The goal is the application of the ac-
tive ingredients in the human body via
the alveoli for the appropriate medical
indication.
It is suitable for the temporary inhala-
tive application of cannabinoids pre-
scribed by a physician for use at home,
inahospital,ordoctor‘soce.
3. INTENDED USE

2120
The VOLCANO MEDIC 2 Va-
porization System ensures
the highly effective, safe, and
fast-acting application of cannabi-
noids. The patient must undergo a
medical examination before the begin-
ning of treatment.
The VOLCANO MEDIC 2 Vaporiza-
tion System is not intended for use
in children and youth under age 18.
Adults may use the device following
the Instructions for Use or physician‘s
instructions.
The device is not to be used, if
the user has respiratory tract
or lung conditions. Depend-
ing on the density, the vapor could irri-
tate respiratory tracts or lungs, which
can lead to coughing.
The application and inhalation are
described in Chapters 6.2. and 7.3.
“MEDIC VALVE Valve Balloon” (page
30 and 39) as well as 6.3. and 7.4.
“Application Part: Tube Kit” (page 34
and 44).
The Valve Balloon with
Mouthpiece and/or the Tube
with Mouthpiece are intend-
ed for only one user and may not be
shared among patients.
The Mouthpiece of the Valve
Balloon and the Mouthpiece
of the Tube Kit must be clea-
nedpriortotherstuseinaccordance
with the instructions in Chapter 9.3.
“Filling Chamber as well as Tube Flexer
and Mouthpiece of the Tube Kit”, page
50.
The Valve Balloon and Tube Kit can be
re-used several times, but only by one
person (see Chapter 9. “Hygiene”, page
49).
The Valve Balloon with Mouthpiece or
Tube Kit may be used for a maximum
of 2 weeks.
At a certain dosage, dronabi-
nol (THC) and cannabis can
have a psychotropic (mind-
altering) effect.
There is thus a potential for abuse,
which governments in nearly all coun-
tries of the world counteract with cor-
responding laws.
Use only dronabinol (THC) or me-
dicinal hemp owers (cannabis os)
prescribed by your physician and pur-
chased from a pharmacy. Otherwise
you may be at risk of breaking the law.
In case of doubt, ask your physician,
pharmacist, or the responsible au-
thorities about the current laws at your
place of residence.
Dronabinol is the international non-
proprietary name for Delta-9-tetrahy-
drocannabinol (THC) which is known
as the most effective cannabinoid for
medical use.
4. IMPORTANT REMARKS 4. IMPORTANT REMARKS
Cannabinoids vaporize at tempera-
tures over 180°C (356°F) and then
form an aerosol with an average drop-
let size (MMAD) of 0.64 µm (microm-
eter) that can be inhaled and respired.
The droplets are absorbed in the alveo-
li and enter the bloodstream (systemic
absorption).
When cannabinoids are inhaled, the
onset of the effect takes approx. 1-2
min. and the effects last for 2-4 hours.
For application, a distinction must be
made between the vaporization of
dronabinol (THC) dissolved in alcohol
and the vaporization of cannabinoids
fromhempowers(cannabisos).
Our Service Centre is available to an-
swer your questions and receive your
comments and suggestion concern-
ing the VOLCANO MEDIC 2 Vaporiza-
tion System.
You may download the cur-
rent Instructions for Use for
the VOLCANO MEDIC 2 Va-
porization System on www.vapormed.
com.Hereyouwillndtheup-to-date
information to the current state of re-
search.
If questions occur about the medi-
cal use of cannabinoids or cannnabis
please contact your doctor, pharma-
cist or manufacturer of medical hemp
owers(Cannabisos).

5. THE VOLCANO MEDIC 2 HOT AIR GENERATOR
5.4. Commissioning
Do not leave the device unat-
tended while it is being opera-
ted. Put the Hot Air Generator
onaatandstablesurface.
Check whether the mains voltage cor-
responds to the voltage rating stated
on the device. The Power Cord and
the plug must be in perfect condition.
Only connect the Hot Air Generator to
a properly installed socket.
The device is safely disconnected
from the mains only when the plug is
removed from the socket.
When the power plug is plugged in, all
sequences of the LED display will il-
luminate brieybeforedisplayingthe
rmware number. The mains opera-
tion display which then appears on the
display shows that the Hot Air Genera-
tor is connected to the power supply.
5.5. Heating Up
To switch on the heater, press the
touch button labeled ‘HEAT’. The set/
actual temperature will light up, signal-
ing that the heater is switched on. The
upper, orange display shows the ac-
tual temperature in the Filling Chamber
with the air pump switched on, and the
lower, white display shows the desired
set temperature. The heating process
is completed when the set value is
equal to the actual value. This is also
indicated acoustically when the pump
isswitchedonbriey.Heatingupcan
take up to two minutes depending
upon the chosen temperature. After
the heating process is completed, the
temperature is constantly maintained
at the set value.
For technical reasons the tem-
perature in the Filling Chamber
cannot be measured during
vaporization. During operation the
temperature is measured at the heat
exchanger. The display indicates the
reference values for the attached Fill-
ing Chamber with the air pump
switched on.
5. THE VOLCANO MEDIC 2 HOT AIR GENERATOR
Whenyoubrieytaponthetouchbut-
ton Temperature Plus or Minus, the set
values are increased or decreased in
the respective direction in 1-degree
increments.
If you keep the touch button Tempera-
ture Plus or Minus pressed, the set val-
ues start running continuously in the
corresponding direction. If the touch
button Temperature Plus and Minus is
activated simultaneously, the display
changes from degree Celsius to de-
gree Fahrenheit and vice versa.
If the actual value is higher
than the set value, you can
speed up the cooling down
process by switching on the air pump.
30 minutes after the last time a
button is pressed, the devi-ce
automatically switches off.
As long as the heater has a substan-
tial amount of residual warmth, the
temperature is displayed until it drops
below +40°C (+104°F).
Then the display turns off, and the on
the mains operation display indicates
that the Hot Air Generator is connect-
ed to the mains supply.
The device is safely discon-
nected from the mains only
when the plug is removed
from the socket.

6. THE USE OF DRONABINOL
Use only approved dronabinol (THC)
that is sold to pharmacies for making
up prescriptions.
The pharmacy produces an alcohol
solution according to your physician‘s
prescription (generally 2.5% THC) for
inhalation with the VOLCANO MEDIC 2
Vaporization System.
Preparation to use the Drip Pad
Dronabinol (THC) dissolved
in oil is not suitable for vapori-
zation and is intended for oral
administration.
6.1. Preparation
Turn the Filling Chamber Cap counter-
clockwise in order to remove it from
the Filling Chamber.
Remove Filling Chamber Cap
When using dronabinol (THC) dis-
solved in alcohol, the Screens in the
Filling Chamber are not needed and
should be removed.
The Drip Pad is inserted in the Filling
Chamber instead of the lower Screen.
Turn the Filling Chamber upside down
and use a pipette to drop the dronabi-
nol (THC) dissolved in alcohol onto the
center of the bottom of the Drip Pad.
The Drip Pad can hold up to 20 drops.
At the beginning of treatment, apply a
maximum of two drops and carefully
increase to the appropriate dosage.
Always follow your doctor’s recom-
mendations!

6. THE USE OF DRONABINOL
The Dosing Capsule Adapter,
available as an accessory, is
suitable for vaporizing small
amounts of dronabinol (THC) (up to
ve drops) along with the small Drip
Pads and the Dosing Capsules. The
Dosing Capsule Adapter is inserted in-
stead of the Filling Chamber Cylinder
(see Chapter 9.4. “Disassemby and As-
sembly of the Filling Chamber”, page
53).
Either the small Drip Pad (measure-
ments Ø 15 x h 5 mm) or the Dosing
Capsule containing a Drip Pad (meas-
urements Ø 13 x h 6 mm) are to be
inserted into the Dosing Capsule
Adapter.
Insert either a small Drip Pad directly into the
Dosing Capsule Adapter or a Dosing Capsule
equipped with a Drip Pad
Please make sure to not over-
lltheDripPad.Itcancontain
uptovedrops.
Dronabinol (THC) is available as an al-
coholic solution.
The advantage of this is that the liquid
is distributed more equally around the
stainless steel wire of the Drip Pad,
yielding a larger surface area that can
be vaporized.
However,thealcoholmustrstbesep-
arated from the dronabinol, as alcohol
should not be inhaled.
Press the touch button labeled ‘HEAT’,
set temperature to 100°C (212°F) and
allow the device to heat up.
When the actual temperature of 100°C
(212°F) has been reached, position the
Filling Chamber with Cap on the Hot
Air Generator and rotate clockwise
until it stops.
Then press the touch button labeled
‘AIR’ to pump air through the Drip Pad.
The dronabinol does not vaporize
at this temperature, but the alcohol
evaporates quickly (within 30 sec.).
Since alcohol has a characteristic
odor, you can easily determine by
smelling whether the Filling Chamber
is alcohol free. Dronabinol has neither
odor nor taste.
Separate alcohol
When the Filling Chamber is free of al-
cohol, press the touch button labeled
‘AIR’againtoswitchofftheairow.
The dronabinol, which evaporates only
at higher temperatures – over 157°C
(315°F), remains in the Drip Pad.
Next remove the Filling Chamber,
press the touch button labeled ‘HEAT’
again and set the temperature to
210°C (410°F) and continue heating.

loon deates, it may be com-
pletely emptied by stretching
the Valve Balloon taut and subse-
quently inhaling the content.
6. THE USE OF DRONABINOL
To avoid residual moisture
deposition in the Valve Bal-
loon, and to minimize the risk
of possible contamination, do
not blow into the Valve Bal-
loon.
Stretch Valve

6.4. Breathing Technique
Inhale only half as much as possible.
Hold your breath a few seconds and
then breathe out slowly. We recom-
mend consciously concentrating on
your inhalation.
The cannabinoid aerosol is absorbed
by the alveoli and into the blood-
stream. The onset of the effect takes
approx. 1-2 min.
6.5. End of Inhalation
Disconnect the power plug from the
socket after inhalation.
When observing the Instructions for Use and with a vaporization temperature of
210°C (410°F) the following reference values are validated in studies:
If dosage is too low increase the amount of dronabinol.
If dosage is too high reduce the amount of dronabinol.

7. THE USE OF HEMP FLOWERS
Use only standardized, medicinal
hemp owers (cannabis os) that
have been tested by licensed produc-
ers for authenticity, purity, and patho-
gens according to the directives of the
competent authorities in your country.
Under no circumstances
should you use cannabis
from the illegal black market
or any other cannabis that has not
been subjected to recognised quality
controls.
The amount of active ingredients in
these products is generally unknown,
may uctuate considerably, and they
often contain herbicides, fertilizers,
bacteria, etc.
7.1. The Eciency of Cannabinoids
vaporized from Hemp Flowers
(Cannabis Flos)
If these Instructions for Use are fol-
lowed, the systemic bioavailability of
vaporized cannabinoids from hemp
blossoms is approx. 50% in the Valve
Balloon and approx. 43% in the Tube.
For comparison: The systemic bioa-
vailability of cannabinoids aministered
orally is below 15%.
The following factors determine the
cannabinoid content in the Valve Bal-
loon or Tube:
Temperature - Higher vaporiza-
tion temperatures cause a higher
cannbinoid concentration in the
Valve Balloon, lower vaporization
7.2. Preparation
Turn the Filling Chamber Cap counter-
clockwise in order to remove it from
the Filling Chamber.

temperatures cause a lower can-
nabinoid concentration.
Quantity - Higher quantities in the
Filling Chamber cause a higher
cannbinoid concentration, lower
quantities in the Filling Chamber
cause a lower cannabinoid concen-
tration.
Quality - Higher cannabinoid
concentrations in the plant mate-
rial cause a higher cannabinoid
concentration, lower cannabinoid
concentrations in the plant mate-
rial cause a lower cannabinoid
concentration.
In order to obtain a reproducible dose
withgoodeciency,itisrecommend-
ed to vaporize small lling quantities
(100 mg) once in the Filling Chamber
at a maximum temperature of 210°C

7. THE USE OF HEMP FLOWERS
For consistent and reproduci-
ble dosage with e. g. 100 mg,
use each Filling Chamber por-
tiononlyoncetollaValveBalloon.
Other conditions for a reproducible
dosage are: using standardized can-
nabis, consistent amount, consistent
temperature, consistent Valve Balloon
Size (standard size 1.25 l) and same
breathing technique when inhaling.
Next screw on the Filling Chamber Cap
again.

7. THE USE OF HEMP FLOWERS
Take care that the Screens are
not obstructed with plant ma-
terial. To guarantee optimal re-
sults, we recommend cleaning the
Screens after each vaporization cycle
with the Cleaning Brush supplied with
the device.
Suitable for vaporizing small
amounts of hemp owers, is
the Dosing Capsule Adapter,
which is available as an accessory,
along with the Dosing Capsules.
The Dosing Capsule Adapter is insert-
ed instead of the Filling Chamber Cyl-
inder (see Chapter 9.4. “Disassembly

7.3. MEDIC VALVE Balloon
7. THE USE OF HEMP FLOWERS
After consulting your physician, if your
doctor recommends that you are able
to determine your requirement for ac-
tive ingredients yourself (titration), due
to the relatively rapid effect (approx.
1-2 minutes), you may put higher quan-
tities cannabis (up to 500 mg) into the
Filling Chamber and vaporize at lower
temperatures.
Thus, you can ll mutiple Valve Bal-
loons with vapors of active ingredients
withasingleFillingChamberlling.
With this method no reproducible
doses are achieved; for this reason, it
is only appropriate for experienced
users.
When observing the Instructions for Use and with a vaporization temperature of
210°C (410°F) the following reference values are validated in studies:
If dosage is too low increase the amount of cannabis.
If dosage is too high reduce the vaporization temperature.
