Initial Use

Setting Up the Device

• Take the device out of the packaging.
• Place the device on a flat surface.
• Before Using the Device for the First Time

Note: Clean and disinfect the atomiser and accessories before using them for the first time. See “Cleaning and Disinfection”. The adapter with the removable “giraffe” can optionally be attached to the atomiser. When attaching the atomiser, in combination with the adapter and removable “giraffe”, to the device, ensure that the centre of gravity is over the device. Otherwise, there is a risk of the device tipping. The cover photo of these instructions for use serves as an example.

• Connect the compressed air hose to the bottom of the medication container.

• Connect the other end of the compressed air hose to the nebuliser hose connection by turning it slightly.

  

Switching On the Nebuliser

To switch on the nebuliser, proceed as follows:

• Plug the micro USB cable included in delivery into the micro USB port on the nebuliser. Plug the other end of the micro USB cable into the USB port on the mains adapter and insert the mains adapter into the socket.
• Press the ON/OFF button on the nebuliser. The ON/OFF button illuminates blue. The nebuliser is now operational.

Operation

Important

• For hygiene reasons, it is essential to clean the atomiser and the accessories after each treatment and to disinfect them after the last treatment of the day.
• The accessories may only be used by one person; use by several people is not recommended.
• If the treatment involves inhaling several different medications one after the other, please be aware that the atomiser must be rinsed under warm tap water following every usage. See “Cleaning and Disinfection”.
• Please observe the notes on changing the filter in these instructions for use.
• Check that hose connectors are firmly attached to the nebuliser and the atomiser before each use of the device.
• Before use, check the device is working correctly by briefly switching on the nebuliser (together with the connected atomiser, but without medication). If air comes out of the atomiser, the device is working.

Inserting the Atomiser Insert

• Open the atomiser by twisting the top anticlockwise against the medication container. Place the atomiser insert into the medication container.
• Ensure that the cone for administering medication fits well on the cone for the air duct inside the atomiser.
• Ensure that the atomiser attachment is attached to the top of the atomiser.

Filling the Atomiser

• Fill with an isotonic saline solution or pour the medication directly into the medication container. Avoid overfilling. The maximum recommended filling quantity is 6 ml.
• Use medication only as instructed by your doctor and ask about the appropriate inhalation period and quantity for you.

• If the prescribed quantity of medication is less than 2 ml, top this up to at least 2 ml with isotonic saline solution. Dilution is also necessary with viscous medications. Here too, please observe the instructions of your doctor.

  

Closing the Atomiser

• Close the atomiser by twisting the top clockwise against the medication container. Ensure that the connection is correct.

Connecting Accessories to the Atomiser

• Attach the desired accessory to the atomiser. The mouthpiece or nosepiece can be attached using the nebuliser attachment. The children’s mask and baby mask must be attached to the atomiser using the angled fitting.

Note

The most effective form of nebulisation is by using the mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only recommended if it is not possible to use a mouthpiece (e.g. for children who are not yet able to inhale using a mouthpiece). When using a mask to inhale, take care to ensure the mask fits well and the eyes are unobstructed.

• Before the treatment, pull the atomiser upwards out of the holder.
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch.
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that the device is operating correctly.

Treatment

• Hold or place the baby or infant to be treated in the most upright position possible. Do not use the device when the baby or infant to be treated is lying down.
• When inhaling, older children and adults should sit upright and relaxed at a table and not in an armchair to avoid compressing the airways and therefore impairing the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.

Important

The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after 30 minutes of operation, it must be switched off for 30 minutes.

Note

During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertically); otherwise, the atomisation will not work and faultless functionality is not guaranteed. Depending on the battery charge status and accessory used, the inhalation time stated may vary.

Stopping Inhalation

Once the mist is only coming out in an irregular flow or if the sound changes when inhaling, you can stop the treatment.

• Switch off the nebuliser after treatment using the On/Off switch and disconnect it from the mains.
• Place the atomiser back in its holder after the treatment.

Cleaning

See “Cleaning and Disinfection”.

Changing the Filter

In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be replaced after approximately 100 operating hours or one year.

Please check the air filter regularly (after 10–12 nebulisation procedures). Replace the used filter if it is very dirty or clogged. If the filter has become damp, it must also be exchanged for a new filter.

Important

• Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse it.
• Only use the manufacturer’s original filter; otherwise, your nebuliser may become damaged, and sufficiently effective treatment cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is in use.
• Never operate the device without a filter.

To replace the filter, proceed as follows:

Important

• First, switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains.
• Allow the device to cool down.

• Pull off the filter cap towards the front.

  

Cleaning and Disinfection

Atomiser and Accessories

Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid health risks. The atomiser and accessories are designed for multiple 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 mechanically 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 requirements 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 disinfection process. Residual moisture or wetness can represent an increased risk of bacterial growth.

Preparation

• Immediately after each treatment, all parts of the atomiser and the accessories used must be cleaned of residual medication and contamination.
• Remove the mouthpiece, masks or the nosepiece from the atomiser.
• Disassemble the nosepiece if you have used it with the comfort attachment.
• Remove the masks from the angled fitting.
• Disassemble the atomiser by twisting the top anticlockwise against the medication container.
• Remove the atomiser insert from the medication container. Remove the atomiser attachment.
• 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. Never use any substances for cleaning that could potentially be toxic if they came into contact with the skin or mucous 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.

Condensation, Hose Care

Condensation may form in the hose depending on the 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 from the atomiser.
• The hose must remain connected to the nebuliser.
• Operate the nebuliser until the moisture is removed by the air passing through.
• In the event of heavy contamination, replace the hose.

Disinfection

Please carefully observe the points below when disinfecting your atomiser and accessories. We recommend disinfecting the individual parts daily after the last use as a minimum measure. All you need for this is a little white vinegar and distilled water. Ethanol 70 vol% can also be used (for 10 minutes) to disinfect the PVC masks and the air tubes.

• First, clean the atomiser and accessories as described in the “Cleaning” section.
• Place the disassembled atomiser, the mouthpiece, the silicone masks and the disassembled nosepiece in boiling water for 5 minutes.

Drying

Place the individual parts on a clean, dry and absorbent surface and leave them to dry completely (at least 4 hours).

Durability of Materials

• As with any plastic parts, atomisers and their accessories are affected by a certain amount of wear and tear when used and hygienically prepared on a frequent basis. Over time, this can lead to a change in the aerosol, which can hurt the efficiency of the treatment. We therefore recommend that you replace the atomiser and other accessories after a year.
• The following point should be observed when selecting the cleaning product or disinfectant: only use a mild cleaning product or disinfectant in the concentration and volume prescribed by the manufacturer.

Storage

• Do not store in damp conditions (such as in a bathroom) and do not transport with any damp items.
• When storing and transporting, protect from prolonged direct sunlight.
• The accessories can be stowed securely in the accessory compartment. Store the device in a dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
