1. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRU-
MENT
Area of application
This nebuliser is a device used for the nebulisation of liquids and
liquid medication (aerosols) and for the treatment of the upper
and lower respiratory tract.
The nebulisation and inhalation of medication prescribed or re-
commended by a doctor can prevent against diseases of the
respiratory tract, treat the side e ects of these disorders and
accelerate healing.
For more information on possible applications, consult your doc-
tor or pharmacist.
The device is suitable for inhalation at home. Medicines should
only be inhaled when instructed by a doctor. Inhalation should be
performed in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Inhale slowly and
deeply to enable the medicine to reach the small bronchi deep
into the lungs. Exhale normally.
Once it has been properly prepared, the device can be used
again. Preparation involves replacing all the accessories, inclu-
ding the atomiser and air filter, and disinfecting the surface of
the device using a standard disinfectant. Please note that all ac-
cessories should be replaced if the device is used by more than
one person.
We recommend that you replace the atomiser and other acces-
sories after one year.
