Preparing for and performing a treatment
1.
Remove the sealing cap from
1.
the metered dose inhaler. Shake
the MDI vigorously.
2.
Then insert the mouthpiece

of the MDI into the blue
connecting ring on the VORTEX.
Now take the blue protective
cap off the VORTEX.
3.
Place the VORTEX
3.
mouthpiece between your
teeth and close your lips around
it (alternatively place the mask
over your face). With your
finger, press the metered dose
inhaler down once to release a
puff of spray.
4.
Breathe in slowly and deeply.
4.
Hold your breath briefly and
then breathe out again through
the mouthpiece (or mask).

the exhalation phase can be

used by children, for example.
If your healthcare professional has prescribed two or more puffs of
spray per application, repeat steps 3 and 4.
U SE OF TH E
O N E- HA ND ED OPER AT IO N A I D
With the one-handed operation aid, using the VORTEX is now
even simpler: it makes holding and simultaneously triggering
the metered dose inhaler much easier.*
1.
Push the one-handed operation
aid onto the back of the VORTEX.
2.
2.
Slide the one-handed operation aid backwards and forwards to
align it so that the top of the aid can lock in place over the metered
dose inhaler. The position of the one-handed operation aid may
vary from one MDI to another.
3.
Since the MDIs do not have a standardised shape or size, it
may sometimes happen that the MDI cannot be triggered using
the one-handed operation aid. In this case, operate the VORTEX
and the metered dose inhaler without using the one-handed
operation aid.
Breathing out
Children younger than 18
months should inhale for 4
to 6 breaths, children older
than 18 months should
inhale for 2 to 4 breaths.

Cleaning the VORTEX
1.
First disassemble the VORTEX.
Pull off the mouthpiece unit and
remove any other accessories (e.g.
one-handed operation aid). If you
have used a mask, also detach
1.
the mask from the mouthpiece
unit. Do not remove the blue
connecting ring. Make sure that
the blue protective cap is open.
2.
Clean all parts thoroughly
2.
in warm tap water with a
little dishwashing liquid.
3.
Rinse all parts thoroughly
with fresh water.
4.
Alternatively, the VORTEX can be cleaned in the
dishwasher. To do this, place the individual parts in
the dishwasher plate rack and select a programme
with a water temperature of at least 50°C. Note that
the VORTEX chamber and the mouthpiece should be
placed in an upright position.
