– The compressor must not be operated and/or the power
plug must be unplugged from the socket immediately if the
compressor or the power cord is damaged, or if a fault is
suspected after the device has been dropped or suffered a
similar shock.
1.5 Treatment of babies, children and anyone
who requires assistance
Babies, children and anyone who requires assistance must be
supervised constantly by an adult during inhalation therapy.
This is the only way to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Such persons often underestimate the hazards involved (e.g.,
strangulation with the power cord or the connection tube), thus
resulting in a risk of injury.
The product contains small parts. Small parts can block the air-
ways and lead to a choking hazard. Therefore, make sure that
you always keep the compressor, the nebuliser and the ac-
cessories out of the reach of babies and infants.
The device and the connection tube at the compressor outlet
can become very warm during normal operation. Therefore,
particularly with individuals who require special assistance, en-
sure that the user's skin does not come into contact with the
compressor. Prolonged contact may cause burns, particularly
for patients with impaired temperature perception.
