6. Operation

Important
• For hygiene reasons, it is essential to clean the atom-
iser [7] and the accessories after each treatment and
to disinfect them after the last treatment of the day.
• The accessories may only be used by one person; use
by several people is not recommended.
• If the treatment involves inhaling several different
medications one after the other, please be aware that
the atomiser [7] must be rinsed under warm tap water
following every usage. See "Cleaning and disinfection"
on page 20.
• Please observe the notes on changing the filter in
these instructions for use.
• Check that hose connectors are firmly attached to the
nebuliser [5] and the atomiser [7] 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 [7], the device is working.
6.1 Inserting the atomiser insert
• Open the atomiser [7] by twisting the top anticlock-
wise against the medication container [8]. Place the
atomiser insert [9] into the medication container [8].
• 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 into
the medication container [8]. 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.
6.3 Closing the atomiser
• Close the atomiser [7] by twisting the top clockwise
against the medication container [8]. Ensure that the
connection is correct.
6.4 Connecting accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the atomiser [7] to the desired accessory
(mouthpiece [10], adult mask [11], children's mask [12]
or nosepiece [13]).
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 [11], you can secure it
to your head with the adult mask strap. There is also a
strap for the children's mask [12].
• Before the treatment, pull the atomiser upwards out
of the holder [3].
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch [1].
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that
the device is operating correctly.
