6. Operation

Caution
• For hygiene reasons, the atomiser [9] and the ac-
cessories must be cleaned after each treatment and
disinfected after the last treatment of the day.
• If several different medicines are to be inhaled in suc-
cession during therapeutic use, the atomiser [9] must
be rinsed under warm tap water after each use. For
information about this, see "Cleaning and disinfec-
tion" on page 15.
• Follow the instructions for changing the filter con-
tained in these instructions.
• Before each use, check that the hose connections
on the nebuliser [6] and the atomiser [9] are tight.
• Before use, check that the device is functioning cor-
rectly. To do this, switch on the nebuliser (including
the connected atomiser, but without any medication)
for a short time. If the atomiser [9] expels air, the
device is functioning correctly.
1. Assembling the atomiser
• Insert the atomiser insert [10] into the
medication container [11] and turn
clockwise.
2. Filling the atomiser
• Open the lid of the atomiser [9].
• Fill with an isotonic saline solution
or pour the medication directly into
the atomiser [9]. Do not overfill! The
maximum recommended fill level is
8 ml !
• Use medication only on the advice of
a physician, and check the appropri-
ate inhalation duration and quantity
for your needs.
• If the required volume of medication is less than 2 ml,
top up this quantity to at least 4 ml using an isotonic
saline solution. Viscous medicines may also require
dilution. Always follow the instructions of your doctor.
3. Closing the atomiser
• Close the lid of the atomiser [9].
4. Connecting the accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the required accessory part (mouthpiece
[12], adult mask [13], child mask [14] or nosepiece
[15]) to the atomiser [9].
Note
The most effective method of nebulisation is by us-
ing the mouthpiece. 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 medica-
tion using a mouthpiece).
• Before commencing treatment, pull the atomiser
upwards out of its holder [7].
• Start the nebuliser using the on/off switch [3].
• A flow of spray from the atomiser indicates that the
device is functioning properly.
5. Treatment
• Inhale the nebulised medicine deeply.
Note
During treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertical),
otherwise the atomisation does not work and correct
function cannot be guaranteed.
