Fault
The nebulisation time has become
considerably longer.
Aerosol escapes continuously in
large volumes from the opening slots
in the medication reservoir.

Possible cause/Remedy
If the nebuliser handset is used regularly,
the nebulisation time will gradually
become longer. This is not a malfunction.
However, if you notice that the nebulisa-
tion time has become considerably longer
(twice as long), this may be due to one of
the following:
- You are inhaling a different medication.
- The fill volume has been increased.
- The medication cap was not closed
tightly.
- The aerosol head was not cleaned
immediately after the last application
(the fine pores of the membrane may be
partially blocked) or it is damaged.
- You are using the aerosol head for
longer or more often than is described
in section Life cycle of the medical
device.
If the causes mentioned above do not
apply, use the easycare cleaning aid. The
easycare cleaning aid can help to shorten
the nebulisation time if the performance of
the aerosol head becomes less than
optimal.
Observe the information provided in the
easycare instructions for use.
If the nebulisation time is still more than
twice as long after cleaning with the easy-
care cleaning aid, the aerosol head must
be replaced.
• Check whether the nebuliser handset
has been assembled correctly.
Check that the two valve flaps of the
inspiratory valve are seated correctly.
When the valve is inserted, they must
lie flat and face towards the aerosol
chamber.
