• Ensure that the cone for administering medication fits
well on the cone for the air duct inside the nebuliser.
5.2 Filling the atomiser
• Fill with an isotonic saline solution
or pour the medication directly into
the medication container [10]. Avoid
overfilling. The maximum recom-
mended filling quantity is 6 ml.
• Use medication only as instructed
by your doctor and ask about the
appropriate inhalation period and
quantity for you.
• If the prescribed quantity of medi-
cation is less than 2 ml, top this up
to at least 2 ml with isotonic saline solution. Dilution
is also necessary with viscous medications. Here too,
please observe the instructions of your doctor.
5.3 Closing the atomiser
• Close the atomiser [9] by twisting the top clockwise
against the medication container [10]. Ensure that the
connection is correct.
5.4 Connecting accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the atomiser [9] to the desired accessory
(mouthpiece [12], adult mask [13], children's mask [14]
or nosepiece [15]).
Note
The most effective form of nebulisation is by using the
mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only recom-
mended if it is not possible to use a mouthpiece (e.g. for
children who are not yet able to inhale medication using
a mouthpiece).
If you are using the adult mask [13], you can secure it to
your head with the adult mask strap. There is also a strap
for the children's mask [14].
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 [4].
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch [1].
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that
the device is operating correctly.
5.5 Treatment
• When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and not
in an armchair to avoid compressing the airways and
therefore impairing the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.

The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after
30 minutes of operation it must be switched off for 30
11
minutes.
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertical-
ly), otherwise the atomisation will not work and faultless
functionality is not guaranteed.
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and drops
to be used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly unsuit-
able for inhalation using a nebuliser. These additions are
often viscous and can impair the correct functioning of
the device and therefore the effectiveness of the applica-
tion in the long-term. For individuals with a hypersensitive
bronchial system, medications containing essential oils
may under certain conditions cause an acute bronchos-
pasm (a sudden cramp-like restriction of the bronchi with
shortness of breath). Consult your doctor or pharmacist
in relation to this matter.
5.6 Stopping 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 off the nebuliser after treatment using the On/
Off switch [1] and disconnect it from the mains.
• Place the atomiser [9] back in its holder [4] after the
treatment.
