irreparable damage and it will mean that the best treat-
ment results can no longer be guaranteed.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional require-
ments in terms of the hygienic preparation needed (hand
care, handling of medication/inhalation solutions) for
high-risk groups (e.g. patients with cystic fibrosis).
Cleaning
The mesh atomiser with container and the used acces-
sories such as mouthpiece, mask, etc. must be washed
with hot water after each use. Dry the parts carefully us-
ing a soft cloth. Put the parts together again if they are
completely dry and place them in a dry, sealed container
or disinfect them.
• Remove the mouth piece and the relevant accessory
from the atomiser.
• Pour 6 ml of clean water into the medication container
(1) and switch the device on to first clean the mesh of
any medication residue (please nebulise all of the liquid).
• Remove the batteries.
• Remove the add-on parts such as the mesh atomiser or
the medication container and the cover from the device.
Disassembling
• Remove the medication
container (1) with mesh
atomiser (2), by pressing
the button on the back
of the device and pulling
the unit off horizontally
towards the front.
• Reassembly is carried
out in reverse order.
Important
Never hold the whole device under running water to clean it.
When cleaning, ensure that any residue is removed and
dry all parts carefully.
Never use any substances for cleaning that could poten-
tially be toxic if they came into contact with the skin or
mucous membranes, or if they were swallowed or inhaled.
If required, clean the housing of the device using a slight-
ly damp cloth, which you can moisten with a mild soapy
solution.
• If there is any residue from medical solutions or contam-
ination on the silver-coloured contacts of the device or
atomiser, clean with a cotton bud moistened with ethyl
alcohol.
• Also clean the outer sides of the mesh and the medication
container with a cotton bud moistened with ethyl alcohol.
Important
• The device must be switched off and allowed to cool
down each time before cleaning.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and never
submerge the device in water.
• Ensure that no water gets inside the device!
• Do not clean the device or accessories in the dish-
washer!
• Do not allow water to spray onto the device. Only oper-
ate the device if it is completely dry.
• Do not spray any liquid into the vents. If liquid penetrates
the device this could cause damage to the electrics or
other nebuliser parts and lead to a malfunction.
Important
We recommend carrying out inhalation without interrup-
tions since the inhalant may clog the mesh atomiser dur-
ing a long pause in treatment, and the effectiveness of the
application may be impaired as a result.
Self-cleaning function
To completely remove medication residue and eliminate
any blockages, you can use the device's self-cleaning
function.
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Pour 0.5 to 1.0 ml of tap wa-
ter or distilled water mixed
with vinegar (1/4 vinegar
and 3/4 distilled water) in-
to the opening of the mesh
atomiser (2). To avoid leak-
age through the lateral open-
ings, please do not overfill.
2. Press and hold the On/Off
button (3) until the LED indi-
cator (3) briefly lights up violet.
The cleaning liquid is now drawn out of the opening in
the mesh atomiser into the medication container (re-
verse mode).
During this process, it is possible for droplets of this liq-
uid to leak out of the medication container. Therefore,
place some protection under the nebuliser if necessary.
