Before using the device for the first time
Note
• Clean and disinfect the atomiser and accessories
before using them for the first time. See "Cleaning
and disinfection" on page 17.
• Connect the compressed air hose [8] to the bottom
of the medication container [12].
• Connect the other end of the compressed air hose
[8] to the nebuliser hose connection [4] by turning it
slightly.

The device must only be connected to the mains volt-
age that is specified on the type plate.

[3] into a suitable socket.
• To connect to the mains, fully insert the mains plug
into the socket.
Note
• Ensure that there is a mains socket close to the set-
up area.

6. Operation

Important
• For hygiene reasons, it is essential to clean the at-
omiser [9] and the accessories after each treatment
and to disinfect them after the last treatment of the
day.
• The accessories may be used only by one person;
use by several people is not recommended.
• If the therapy involves inhaling several different medi-
cations one after the other, please be aware that the
atomiser [9] must be rinsed under warm tap water
following every usage. See "Cleaning and disinfec-
tion" on page 17.
• Please observe the notes on changing the filter in
these instructions for use.
• Check that hose connectors are firmly attached to
the nebuliser [4] and the atomiser [9] before each use
of the device.
• Before use, check the device is working correctly, by
briefly switching on the nebuliser (together with the
connected atomiser, but without medication). If air
comes out of the atomiser [9], the device is working.
6.1 Installing the atomiser insert
• Open the atomiser [9] by twisting the top anticlock-
wise against the medication container [12]. Place
the atomiser insert [10] into the medication container
[12].
• Ensure that the cone for administering medication fits
well on the cone for the air duct inside the nebuliser.
6.2 Filling the atomiser
• Fill with an isotonic saline solution
or pour the medication directly in-
to the medication container [12].
Avoid overfilling. The maximum
recommended filling quantity is
8 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 medication is less than
2 ml, top this up to at least 4 ml with isotonic sa-
line solution. Dilution is also necessary with viscous
medications. Here too, please observe the instruc-
tions of your doctor.
