Fitting Accessories; Inhaling Correctly; Cleaning And Disinfection - Beurer Janosch JIH 50 Manual De Instrucciones

3. Closing the atomiser
• Close the lid of the medicine container (2) and click
the clip in place, and then refit the cover (1).

4. Fitting accessories

• When the required accessories (mouthpiece, adu
lt mask or child mask) have been attached to the
device, attach the device firmly to the assembled
medicine container (2).
• The adult mask and child mask must be fitted us-
ing the connecting piece (12) (adapter).
• Now place the device to your mouth and close your
lips firmly around the mouthpiece. When using ei-
ther of the masks, place it over the nose and mouth.
• Start the device using the on/off button (5).
• The spray mist coming from the device and the il-
luminated blue LEDs (4) show that the device is
working perfectly.

5. Inhaling correctly

• Breathing technique
The right breathing technique is important to en-
sure that the particles are distributed as widely as
possible into the air ways. So that they can enter
the air ways and lungs, you must inhale slowly and
deeply, hold your breath briefly (5 to 10 seconds)
and then exhale quickly.
• You should only use nebulisers to treat respiratory
disorders if advised to do so by your doctor, who
will recommend the medicine, dose and applica-
tion for inhalation therapy.
• Certain medicines are only available on prescription.
Note
You should hold the device as upright as possi-
ble. Tilting it slightly will not, however, affect its
function, since the container is leakproof. To en-
sure that the device functions correctly, make sure
that you do not tilt it more than 45 ° in any direction
and that the medicine is in contact with the mesh
while in use.
Important
Essential oils, cough medicines, solutions designed
for gargling, and drops for application to the skin or for
use in steam baths are wholly unsuitable for inhalation
using a nebuliser. These substances are often highly
viscous and can impair the correct function of the de-
vice and hence affect the effectiveness of its applica-
tion in the long term.
In the case of oversensitivity of the bronchial system,
medicines containing essential oils can sometimes
cause acute bronchiospasm (a sudden, cramp-like
tightening of the bronchi accompanied by breathless-
ness). Always ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice!
6. End of inhalation
• After treatment, switch off the device using the on/
off button (5).
• The LEDs (4) go out.
• Once the inhalant has been fully sprayed out, the
device switches off automatically.
For technical reasons, a small amount may still re-
main in the medicine container (2).
• Do not use it.
• If applicable, disconnect the power pack (13) from
the mains.
7. Clean the device
For information about this, see "Cleaning and disinfec-
tion" on page 16.

8. Cleaning and disinfection

Warning
Observe the following hygiene instructions in order to
avoid any health risks.
• The nebuliser and accessories are intended for
multiple use. Please note that cleaning and hygien-
ic reconditioning requirements differ according to
the different areas of application.
Note
• Do not clean the mesh or accessories with brushes
or similar, as this may cause irreparable damage,
and this will mean that the intended result of the
treatment is no longer guaranteed.
• For additional requirements regarding the neces-
sary hygienic preparations (hand washing, han-
dling of medicines or inhalation solutions) in high-
risk groups (e.g. cystic fibrosis patients), contact
your doctor.
Cleaning
The mesh atomiser and container, as well as acces-
sories such as mouthpiece, mask, connecting piece,
etc. must be cleaned with hot water after each use.
Carefully dry all components using a soft cloth. Once
all components are fully dry, reassemble the atomiser
and place the components in a dry, sealed container
or carry out disinfection.
• Remove the mouthpiece and any accessories from
the atomiser.
• Add 6 ml of clean water to the medicine container
(2) and switch on the device to first remove any
medicine residue from the mesh. (Please spray the
entire liquid).
• Remove the batteries.
• Remove the detachable parts from the device, e.g.
mesh atomiser or medicine container and cover.
