Cleaning and disinfection

Atomiser and accessories
Warning
Observe the following hygiene instructions
in order to avoid any health risks.
• The atomiser [9] and accessories are
intended for multiple use. Please note
that cleaning requirements differ accord-
ing to the different application areas:
Notes:
• The atomiser and accessories must not
be mechanically cleaned with brushes
or similar as this can cause irreparable
damage and the success of the treat-
ment can no longer be guaranteed.
• For additional requirements regarding
the necessary hygienic preparations
(hand washing, handling of medicines or
inhalation solutions) in high-risk groups
(e.g. cystic fibrosis patients), contact
your doctor.
• Ensure that all parts are properly dried
following all cleaning and disinfection.
Residual moisture or water droplets can
result in an increased risk of bacterial
growth.

Preparation

• Directly following each treatment, all
parts of the atomiser [9] and any acces-
sories used must be cleaned of medi-
cine residues and contamination.
• To do this, dismantle the atomiser [9]
into its component parts.
• Remove the mouthpiece [12] from the
atomiser.
• Dismantle the atomiser by twisting the
upper section anti-clockwise against the
medicine container [11].
• Remove the nozzle attachment [10]
from the medicine container [11].
• The nebuliser is later reassembled in the
reverse order.
Cleaning
Important
Before you clean the unit, always switch it
off, unplug it and let it cool off.
The atomiser and any accessories used,
such as the mouthpiece, mask, nozzle at-
tachment, etc., must be cleaned with hot wa-
ter. Carefully dry all components using a soft
cloth. Once all components are fully dry, re-
assemble the atomiser and place the com-
ponents in a dry, sealed container or carry
out disinfection.
When cleaning, ensure that all residues are
removed. Never use any substances that
may be poisonous when in contact with the
skin or mucous membranes, or when swal-
lowed or inhaled.
