Beurer IH 21 Mode D'emploi page 15

• A flow of spray from the atomiser indicates that the device is
functioning properly.
6.6 Treatment
• When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and not in
an armchair to avoid compressing the airways and therefore
impairing the e ectiveness of the treatment.
• Inhale the nebulised medicine deeply.
IMPORTANT
The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after 30 mi-
nutes of operation it must be switched o for 30 minutes.
During treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertical),
otherwise the atomisation does not work and correct func-
tion cannot be guaranteed.
IMPORTANT
Essential oils, cough medicines, solutions designed for gargling,
and drops for application to the skin or for use in steam baths are
wholly unsuitable for inhalation using a nebuliser. These substan-
ces are often highly viscous and can impair the correct function
of the device and hence a ect the e ectiveness of its application
in the long term.
In the case of oversensitivity of the bronchial system, medicines
containing essential oils can sometimes cause acute bronchio-
spasm (a sudden, cramp-like tightening of the bronchi accompa-
nied by breathlessness). Always ask your doctor or pharmacist
for advice!
6.7 End of inhalation
If the spray is only output sporadically or if the noise changes
during inhalation, you can end the treatment.
• Switch o the nebuliser after treatment using the on/o
switch [3] and disconnect it from the mains.
• After use, replace the atomiser [9] in its holder [7].
6.8 Nasal douche

cation or essential oils.
IMPORTANT
• The nasal douche should only be used with isotonic saline
solutions.

filter regularly (after 10-12 nebulisation procedures).

ter. If the filter has become wet, it must also be replaced with a
new one.

wise, your nebuliser may become damaged or e ective the-
rapy can no longer be guaranteed.
