3. INTENDED USE

Purpose
Nebulisers (including compressor, ultrasonic
and mesh nebulisers) are medical devices for
the nebulisation of liquids and liquid medication
(aerosols). This device produces aerosols by
combining compressed air and liquid medication.
The aerosol treatment is suitable for treating
the upper and lower airways. By nebulising
and inhaling the medication prescribed/
recommended by your doctor, you can prevent
diseases affecting the airways, or in the case that
you contract such an illness, you can alleviate
symptoms and speed up your recovery.
Target group
The inhaler is intended only for medical care in the
domestic environment. The inhaler is not intended
for health care for professional institutions.
The nebuliser is intended for use in the home
healthcare environment, not in professional
healthcare facilities. The nebuliser can be used on
anyone over 6 month of age under supervision;
it can be used for self-treatment by anyone over
12 years of age.
The application under supervision depends on the
respective face form of the person to be treated.
In this respect, the application is possible under
supervision if necessary before or later only later.
At the mask inhalation, make sure that the mask
rests well and the eyes remain free.
Clinical benefits
Inhalation is the most effective way to administer
medication for most respiratory system
conditions.
The benefits are:
• The medication is transported directly to the
target organs.
• The local bioavailability of the medication is
significantly increased.
• Systemic diffusion is reduced substantially.
• Only very low doses of the medication are
required.
• Quick and effective therapeutic effect.
• Side effects are significantly reduced
compared to systemic administration.
• Humidifying the airways.
• Loosening and making (bronchial) secretions
more liquid.
• Releasing bronchospasms (spasmolysis).
• Relieving swollen and inflamed bronchial
mucosa.
• Clearing secretions by coughing.
• Counteracting pathogens of respiratory
infections.
