the mouthpiece and the masks according to paragraph "Cleaning and maintenance".
2) Place the device on a flat surface.
3) Remove the cover. The tank holds 15 cc. Fill with tap water up to the red level indicator.
This water is used as liquid conducing to the drug the ultrasonic waves and is never nebulized.
Do not put the tank directly under the tap to fill it with water. It is strictly forbidden to use salt solution and water with
any chemical element.
Do not pour drugs directly in the tank.
4) Fill the nebulizer with the drug, then place it in the water tank according to figure 3.
Pour the drug paying attention not to exceed the maximum capacity (8cc).
Follow the instructions for use and the dosing of the medicinal product you are using.
5) Close the tank with the proper cover.
6) Now, insert the pipe and the mouthpiece or the connector and the mask for adults/children in the cover, according to
figure 6.
In case of inhalation through mouthpiece:
In case of troubles at low respiratory system, for example cough or bronchial infections, use the mouthpiece.
- Sit upright.
- Connect the air connection tube in the cover and in the other end insert the mouthpiece.
- Tighten the mouthpiece well with the lips.
- Inhale slowly and deeply through the mouth and exhale through the nose. To increase the efficacy of the therapy, hold
your breath for a while after having inhaled.
During the treatment, remain quiet and relaxed. Breathe regularly and not too quickly. If you wish to interrupt the
inhalation shortly, remove the mouthpiece from the mouth and then reinsert it.
In case of inhalation with mask:
The mask for inhalations is suitable for the treatment of the nasal and pharyngeal area.
- Sit upright.
- Connect the air connection tube in the cover and in the other end insert the fitting and the mask.
- Keep the mask lightly pressed against the nose; the mask has to cover mouth and nose without squashing them.

8) Switch on the device pressing the " " key. Make sure that the warning light switches on (blue colour).
During inhalation, the device must compulsorily remain in vertical position: this assures its correct operation, as well
as the maximum efficacy of therapy. It is possible to control the speed the pharmaceutical is nebulized by turning the
flow control (-/+).
Immediately interrupt the treatment if you feel unease during the aerosol-therapy.
9) The device has an automatic stop function, which deactivates the device when the medicine is almost exhausted or after
about 15 minutes (+/- 2 min.) of inhalation. The device can be switched off at any time by pressing the " " switch.
IMPORTANT: As with most equipment for aerosol therapy, at the end of the inhalation treatment, a certain amount of
the pharmaceutical will remain in the nebulization ampoule: this is perfectly normal. This amount of pharmaceutical,
also know as residual volume, cannot be nebulized.
10) Let the device cool down for some minutes, turn the device upside down or use an absorbing cloth to remove the residual
liquid and perform the cleaning procedures according to paragraph "Cleaning and maintenance".
11) Wait at least 15 minutes from one use to the next.
REPLACEMENT OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL AMPOULE
The disposal medicine cup is SINGLE USE; replace it after each use to guarantee best nebulisation and to avoid damage
to the equipment. Within the pack you will find ampoules which you can use for replacement purposes.
Other ampoules can be purchased from your retailer.
MICROBIC CONTAMINATION
In the presence of conditions carrying the risk of microbial infection and contamination, personal use of the accessories
