Atomiser and accessories
Warning
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid
health risks.
• The atomiser [7] and accessories are designed for mul-
tiple use. Please note that different areas of application
involve different requirements in terms of cleaning and
hygienic preparation.
Notes:
• Do not clean the atomiser or the accessories mechan-
ically using a brush or similar device, as this could
cause irreparable damage and it will mean that the
best treatment results can no longer be guaranteed.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional require-
ments in terms of the hygienic preparation required
(hand care, handling of medication/inhalation solutions)
for high-risk groups (e.g. patients with cystic fibrosis).
• Ensure thorough drying after each cleaning or disin-
fection process. Residual moisture or wetness can
represent an increased risk of bacterial growth.
Preparation
• Immediately after each treatment, all
parts of the atomiser [7] and the ac-
cessories used must be cleaned of re-
sidual medication and contamination.
• Disassemble the nosepiece if you have
used it with the comfort attachment.
• To do this, dismantle the atomiser [7]
into its individual parts.
• Remove the mouth piece [10], the
mask [11, 12] or the nosepiece [13] from the atomiser.
• Dismantle the atomiser [7] by twisting the top anti-
clockwise against the medication container [8].
• Remove the atomiser insert [9] from the medication
container [8].
• Reassembly is carried out in reverse order.
Cleaning
Important
The device must be switched off, disconnected from
the mains and allowed to cool down each time before
cleaning.
The atomiser and the accessories used such as the
mouthpiece, mask, etc. must be washed with hot but
not boiling water after each use. Dry the parts carefully
using a soft cloth. Put the parts together again when
they are completely dry and place them in a dry, sealed
container or disinfect them.
When cleaning, ensure that any residue is removed. Nev-
er use any substances for cleaning that could potentially
be toxic if they came into contact with the skin or mu-
cous membranes, or if they were swallowed or inhaled.
Use a soft, dry cloth and non-abrasive cleaning products
to clean the device.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and never
submerge the device in water.
Important
• Ensure that no water gets inside the device.
• Do not clean the device or accessories in the dish-
washer.
• Do not touch the device with wet hands when it is
plugged in and do not allow water to spray on the
device. Only operate the device if it is completely dry.
• If liquid penetrates the device this could cause damage
to the electrics or other nebuliser parts and lead to a
8
malfunction.
Condensation, hose care
Condensation may form in the hose depending on the
9
ambient conditions. It is essential to remove the moisture
to prevent bacterial growth and ensure proper treatment.
To do so, proceed as follows:
• Remove the compressed air hose [6] from the atomiser
[7].
• The hose must remain connected to the nebuliser [5].
• Operate the nebuliser until the moisture is removed
by the air passing through.
• In the event of heavy contamination, replace the hose.
