lowing every usage. See "Cleaning and disinfection"
on page 21.
• Please observe the notes on changing the filter in these
instructions for use.
• Check that hose connectors are firmly attached to the
nebuliser [6] and the atomiser [9] before each use of the
device.
• Before use, check the device is working correctly by
briefly switching on the nebuliser (together with the con-
nected atomiser, but without medication). If air comes
out of the atomiser [9], the device is working.
6.1 Inserting the atomiser insert
• Open the atomiser [9] by twisting the top anticlockwise
against the medication container [10]. Place the atom-
iser insert [11] into the medication container [10].
• Ensure that the cone for administering medication fits
well on the cone for the air duct inside the atomiser [9].
6.2 Filling the atomiser
• Fill with an isotonic saline solution
or pour the medication directly into
the medication container [10]. Avoid
overfilling. The maximum recom-
mended 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 medi-
cation 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.
6.3 Closing the atomiser
• Close the atomiser [9] by twisting the top clockwise
against the medication container [10]. Ensure that the
connection is correct.
6.4 Connecting accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the atomiser [9] to the desired accessory
(mouthpiece [12], adult mask [13], children's mask [14]
or nosepiece [15]).
In addition to the accompanying adult [13] and children's
mask (from 2 years of age) [14], you also have the option
of using baby mask (from ages 0-3 years) with your ne-
buliser. The baby mask is not included in delivery with the
IH 60. You can find an overview of all replacement items
in chapter „12. Replacement parts and wearing parts".
The most effective form of nebulisation is by using the
mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only recom-
mended if it is not possible to use a mouthpiece (e.g. for
children who are not yet able to inhale medication using
a mouthpiece).
If you are using the adult mask [13], you can secure it to
your head with the adult mask strap. There is also a strap
for the children's mask [14].
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 [4].
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch [1].
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that
the device is operating correctly.

6.5 Treatment
• When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and not
in an armchair to avoid compressing the airways and
11
therefore impairing the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.
The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after
30 minutes of operation it must be switched off for 30
minutes.
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertical-
ly), 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.
