Filling The Water Tank; Operation - Beurer IH 30 Instructions For Use Manual

Starting up
The Inhalator must be thoroughly cleaned before first use. This also applies if the Inhala-
tor has not been used for a long time (see "cleaning").

Filling the water tank

1. Connect the Inhalator to the power line adapter or the battery.
2. Ensure that the Inhalator is switched off ( the indicator lamp must be not be lit, i.e. it must
neither flash green nor light up green!).
3. Remove the top cover from the Inhalator.
4. Fill the tank only with tap water or distilled water (20-30°C) otherwise you could damage
your Inhalator.
We recommend that you boil the water beforehand. The correct filling level is between the
two markings on the inside of the tank. If the water temperature is lower than 20°C, nebu-
lization of the medicament will be considerably less than at the specified temperature. The
warmer the water, the greater the degree of nebulization.
5. Empty the tank after every session and fill it again each time the Inhalator is used.
Filling the medicament cup
1. Place the medicament cup on the water tank.
2. Pour the medicament directly into the cup. Do not overfill the medicament cup! The filling
level is at max. 5 ml!
3. Use medicaments only under your doctor's instructions and check the inhalation time
and quantity appropriate for you.
4. If the prescribed quantity of medicament is less than 2 ml, top it up to at least 4 ml with distil-
led water or isotonic saline solution! Viscous medicaments must also be diluted. In this case
also, follow your doctor's instructions.
5. Replace the top cover back on the Inhalator again and ensure that it snaps into place.
Stop using the medicament cup as soon as signs of wear appear at the tip (cracks, white
marks). Do not use a medicament cup for more than three sessions.
Using the Inhalator with accessories (optional)
The Inhalator can be used both with and without a mask. It is advisable for children to use a
mask.
During the following procedures, take care not to tilt the Inhalator to prevent mixing of
the water and medicament.
1. Make sure that the Inhalator is switched off.
2. Now push the short, white tube of the inhalation mask (with children the smaller mask) into
the open end of the extension tube.
3. Fit the extension tube into the aperture in the top cover by pushing the tube together slightly
at a smooth end, and push it into the aperture until a slight snap engagement can be heard.

Operation

Make sure that the Inhalator is in the vertical position before you switch it on and thus
ensure that it operates correctly with maximum effectiveness.
1. Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the Inhalator. The indicator lamp lights up green.
2. Adjust the filter case at the back of the Inhalator to ensure the required amount of airflow. At
maximum setting, three air holes can be seen.
3. If desired, use the inhalation mask. We also recommend during use of the mask that you
breath in and out through your mouth in order to reach the bronchial system. If your nose is
to be included, breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
