Wipe the compressor housing and the storage compartment
down with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Prepare all other parts for hygienic re-use in accordance with the
instructions for use of the nebuliser.
WARNING: Danger of electric shock or malfunction caused by
liquids getting into the compressor
Liquids can conduct electric current. If liquid has got into the com-
pressor, the housing may be live and a short circuit may occur in the
device.
Never spray any liquids onto the compressor or into the compres-
sor's ventilation slits.
Wipe the compressor down with a damp cloth, not a wet one.
Do not immerse the compressor in liquids such as water or disin-
fectant solution.
Always switch the compressor off and disconnect the power plug
from the socket before working on the device. Always pull on the
plug to disconnect it, not the cord.
If liquid does get into the compressor, contact the manufacturer (see
back of instructions for use) or your sales partner before you use the

Inhalator again.
CAUTION: Danger of infection from contaminated nebuliser/
mask
Read the chapter entitled "Hygienic re-use" in the instructions for
use of the nebuliser you are using, and carry out the procedures
for hygienic re-use described there.
With the exception of the filter, the compressor contains no parts
that are serviceable by the user.
If used twice daily for inhalation for a total of twice 20 minutes a day,
the expected life cycle of the compressor is four years. If the com-
pressor is still being used after four years, contact INQUA or a local
sales partner to have the device tested.
Filter change
The air filter in the compressor must be replaced after every
200 operating hours, but at least once a year or if it becomes visibly
dirty, discoloured or damp.
