3.3 Performing the inhalation
Before the patient starts inhaling, ensure that all parts are
firmly connected to each other.
Perform inhalation until the medication is used up (indicated by
a change in the sound of the nebuliser).
Several drops of medication will remain in the nebuliser after
inhalation.
Information on using a
nebuliser with PIFControl
System:
The PARI PIFControlSystem in
the nebuliser upper section re
stricts the inflow of air and so cre
ates increased inspiratory resist
ance. It is used to help patients to
learn slow, controlled inhalation. If
you notice increased resistance
when breathing in during a treat
ment session, try to inhale more
slowly, until you no longer feel the
increased resistance. In this way,
you will improve the amount of
medication that is delivered to the
lower respiratory tract.
• Connect the connection tubing to the compressor and
switch the compressor on.
