7. USAGE
IMPORTANT
•
For hygiene reasons, it is essential to clean the atomiser
7
and the rest of the atomiser set after each treatment and to
disinfect them after the last treatment of the day.
•
The atomiser set parts may only be used by one person; use
by several people is not recommended.
•
If the therapy involves inhaling several dierent medications
one after the other, please be aware that the atomiser
7
must be rinsed under warm tap water following every usage.
See “Cleaning and maintenance” in this regard.
•
Please observe the notes on changing the filter in these in-
structions for use.
•
Check that the hose connectors are firmly attached to the
nebuliser
4
and the atomiser
7
before each use of the
device.
•
Before use, check that the device is functioning correctly. To
do this, briefly switch on the nebuliser (together with the con
-
nected atomiser, but without medication). If air comes out of
the atomiser
7
, the device is working.
7.1 Inserting the atomiser insert
•
Open the atomiser
7
by twisting the top anticlockwise
against the medication container
9
. Place the atomiser in-
sert
8
in the medication container
9
.
•
Ensure that the cone for administering medication fits well on
the cone for the airflow inside the atomiser
7
.
7.2 Filling the atomiser
•
Fill with an isotonic saline solution or pour the medication di-
rectly into the medication container
9
. Avoid overfilling. The
maximum recommended filling quantity is 6ml.
•
Use medication only as instructed by your doctor and ask
about the appropriate inhalation period and quantity for you.
•
If the prescribed quantity of medication is less than 2 ml, top
this up to at least 4 ml with isotonic saline solution. Dilution is
also necessary with viscous medications. Please observe the
instructions of your doctor in this case, too.
7.3 Closing the atomiser
•
Close the atomiser
7
by twisting the top clockwise against
the medication container
9
. Ensure that the connection is
correct.
7.4 Connecting the atomiser set to the atom-
iser
•
Connect the atomiser
7
to the desired atomiser set (mouth-
piece
10
, adult mask
11
or children’s mask
12
).
The most eective way of nebulising is by using the mouth-
piece. Nebulisation using a mask is only recommended if it
is not possible to use a mouthpiece (e.g. for children who
are not yet able to inhale using a mouthpiece).
When using a mask to inhale, take care to ensure the mask
fits well and the eyes are unobstructed.
•
Before the treatment, pull the atomiser upwards out of the
holder
5
.
•
Start the nebuliser using the On/O control
2
.
•
Spray mist pouring out indicates that the device is operating
correctly.
7.5 Treatment
•
When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and not in
an armchair to avoid compressing the airways and therefore
impairing the eectiveness of the treatment.
•
Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.
IMPORTANT
The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after 30 min-
utes of operation it must be switched o for 30 minutes.
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertically),
otherwise the atomisation will not work and faultless func
-
tionality is not guaranteed.
IMPORTANT
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and drops to be
used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly unsuitable for inha
-
lation using a nebuliser. These additives are often viscous and
can impair the correct functioning of the device and therefore the
eectiveness of the application in the long term. For individuals
with a hypersensitive bronchial system, medications containing
essential oils may under certain conditions cause an acute bron
-
chospasm (a sudden cramp-like restriction of the bronchi with
shortness of breath). Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about this.
7.6 Stopping the inhalation
Once the mist is only coming out in an irregular flow or if the
sound changes when inhaling, you can stop the treatment.
•
Switch o the nebuliser after treatment using the On/O con-
trol
2
and disconnect it from the mains.
•
Place the atomiser
7
back in its holder
5
after the treat-
ment.
7.7 Cleaning
See “Cleaning and maintenance”.
8. CHANGING THE FILTER
In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be replaced af-
ter approx. 200 operating hours or one year. Please check the
air filter regularly (after 10–12 nebulisation procedures). Replace
the used filter if it is very dirty or clogged. If the filter has become
damp, it must also be exchanged for a new filter.
IMPORTANT
•
Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse it.
•
Only use the manufacturer’s original filter, otherwise your
nebuliser may become damaged and suciently eective
treatment cannot be guaranteed.
•
Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is in use.
•
Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
IMPORTANT
•
First switch the device o and disconnect it from the mains.
•
Allow the device to cool down.
1. Remove the filter cap
3
upwards.
B
If the filter remains in the device after the cap has been
removed, take the filter out of the device, e.g. with twee
-
zers or similar.
2. Re-insert the filter cap
3
with a new filter.
3. Ensure that it is securely in place.
