1. Getting to know your instrument

Please read these instructions for use carefully and
keep them for later use, be sure to make them ac-
cessible to other users and observe the information
they contain.
Area of application
This nebuliser is a device used for the nebulisation
of liquids and liquid medication (aerosols) and for the
treatment of the upper and lower respiratory tract.
The nebulisation and inhalation of medication pre-
scribed or recommended by a doctor can prevent
against diseases of the respiratory tract, treat the side
effects of these disorders and accelerate healing.
For more information on possible applications, consult
your doctor or pharmacist.
The device is suitable for inhalation at home. Medicines
should only be inhaled when instructed by a doctor.
Inhalation should be performed in a calm and relaxed
atmosphere. Inhale slowly and deeply to enable the
medicine to reach the small bronchi deep into the
lungs. Exhale normally.
Once it has been properly prepared, the device can
be used again. Preparation involves replacing all the
accessories, including the atomiser and air filter, and
disinfecting the surface of the device using a standard
ENGLISH
disinfectant. Please note that all accessories should be
replaced if the device is used by more than one person.
We recommend that you replace the atomiser and
other accessories after one year.
