3. INTENDED PURPOSE
Intended use
Nebulisers (including compressor, ultrasonic and mesh nebu-
lisers) 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 aecting the airways,
or in the case that you contract such an illness, you can alleviate
symptoms and speed up your recovery.
Intended users
The nebuliser is only intended for medical care in a home
environment. The nebuliser is not intended for health care in
professional environments. The nebuliser can be used on any-
one over 6 months of age under supervision; it can be used for
self-treatment by anyone over 12 years of age.
The shape of the person’s face determines whether or not the de-
vice can be used under supervision. As such, it may be possible
to use the device under supervision on someone who is younger,
or conversely it may not be possible to use the device until they
are older. When using a mask to inhale, take care to ensure the
mask fits well and the eyes are unobstructed.
Clinical benefits
Inhalation is the most eective 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 in-
creased,
• Systemic diusion is reduced substantially,
• Only very low doses of the medication are required,
• Quick and eective therapeutic eect,
• Side eects are significantly reduced compared to systemic
administration,
• Humidifying of the airways,
• Loosening and making (bronchial) secretions more liquid,
• Releasing bronchospasms (spasmolysis),
• Relieving swollen and inflamed bronchial mucosa,
• Coughing up secretions,
• Fighting viruses that aect the upper and lower airways.
Indication
The nebuliser can be used for diseases of the upper and/or lower
airways. Examples of upper respiratory system diseases include:
• Nasal mucosal inflammation,
• Allergic nasal mucosal inflammation,
• Nasal sinus infection,
• Pharyngitis,
• Laryngitis.
Examples of lower respiratory system diseases include:
• Bronchial asthma,
• Bronchitis,
• COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease),
• Bronchiectasis,
• Acute tracheobronchitis,
• Cystic fibrosis,
• Pneumonia.
Contraindications
WARNING
• The atomiser is not intended for the treatment of life-threat-
ening conditions.
• This device must not be used by children under the age of 12
and by people with reduced physical, sensory (e.g. reduced
sensitivity to pain) or mental skills or a lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they are supervised or have been instruct-
ed on how to use the device safely, and are fully aware of the
consequent risks of use.
• Do not use the device on persons who are ventilated and/or
unconscious.
• Check whether there are contraindications for use with the
usual systems for aerosol treatment on the medication in-
struction leaflet.

• The atomiser set parts may only be used by one person; use
by several people is not recommended.
• If the therapy involves inhaling several dierent medications
one after the other, please be aware that the atomiser
8
must be rinsed under warm tap water following every usage.
See “Cleaning and maintenance” in this regard.
• Please observe the notes on changing the filter in these in-
structions for use.
• Check that the hose connectors are firmly attached to the
nebuliser
4
and the atomiser
8
before each use of the
device.
• Before use, check that the device is functioning correctly. To
do this, briefly switch on the nebuliser (together with the con-
nected atomiser, but without medication). If air comes out of
the atomiser
8
, the device is working.
7.1 Inserting the atomiser insert
• Open the atomiser
8
by twisting the top anticlockwise
against the medication container
11
. Place the atomiser in-
sert
9

11
into the holder for the
atomiser
6
.
7.2 Filling the atomiser
• Fill with an isotonic saline solution or pour the medication di-
rectly into the medication container
1
. Avoid overfilling. The
maximum recommended filling quantity is 8 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 medication is less than 2 ml, top
this up to at least 4 ml with isotonic saline solution. Dilution
is also necessary with viscous medications. Here too, please
observe the instructions of your doctor.
7.3 Closing the atomiser
• Close the atomiser
8
by twisting the top clockwise against
the medication container
11
. Ensure that the connection is
correct.
7.4 Inserting the valve
• Press the valve
10

12
. Never use
it with the masks
13
14
and never with the nosepiece
21
.
7.5 Connecting accessories to the atomiser
• Connect the atomiser
8
to the desired part of the atomiser
set. The mouthpiece
12
or nosepiece (n/a) can be directly
attached. The silicone children’s mask
13
and silicone baby
mask
14
must be attached to the atomiser using the angled
fitting
15
.
NOTICE
The most eective form of nebulisation is by using the mouth-
piece. Nebulisation using a mask is only recommended if it is not
possible to use a mouthpiece (e.g. for children who are not yet
able to inhale using a mouthpiece).
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
6
.
• Start the nebuliser using the On/O control
2
.
• Spray mist pouring out indicates that the device is operating
correctly.
7.6 Treatment
• When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and not in
an armchair to avoid compressing the airways and therefore
impairing the eectiveness of the treatment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.
CAUTION
The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after 30 min-
utes of operation it must be switched o for 30 minutes.
NOTICE
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertically), oth-
erwise the atomisation will not work and faultless functionality is
not guaranteed.
7
CAUTION
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and drops to be
used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly unsuitable for inha-
lation using a nebuliser. These additives are often viscous and
can impair the correct functioning of the device and therefore the
eectiveness of the application in the long term. For individuals
with a hypersensitive bronchial system, medications containing
essential oils may under certain conditions cause an acute bron-
chospasm (a sudden cramp-like restriction of the bronchi with
shortness of breath). Consult your doctor or pharmacist in rela-
tion to this matter.
7.7 Stopping the inhalation
Once the mist is only coming out in an irregular flow or if the
sound changes when inhaling, you can stop the treatment.
• Switch o the nebuliser after treatment using the On/O con-
trol
2
and disconnect it from the mains.
• Place the atomiser
8
back in its holder
6
after the treat-
ment.

8. CHANGING THE FILTER
In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be replaced af-
ter approx. 500 operating hours or one year. Please check the
air filter regularly (after 10-12 nebulisation procedures). Replace
the used filter if it is very dirty or clogged. If the filter has become
damp, it must also be exchanged for a new filter.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse it.
• Only use the manufacturer’s original filter, otherwise your
nebuliser may become damaged and suciently eective
treatment cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is in use.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
CAUTION
• First switch the device o and disconnect it from the mains.
• Allow the device to cool down.

NOTICE
If the filter remains in the device after the cap has been removed,
take the filter out of the device, e.g. with tweezers or similar.
2. Re-insert the filter cap
5
with a new filter.
3. Ensure that it is securely in place.
9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Atomiser and accessories
WARNING
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid health
risks.
• The atomiser
8
and the rest of the atomiser set are intended
for multiple use. Please note that dierent areas of applica-
tion involve dierent requirements in terms of cleaning and
hygienic preparation.
NOTICE
• Do not clean the atomiser or the atomiser set mechanically
using a brush or similar device, as this could cause irreparable
damage and it will mean that the best treatment results can
no longer be guaranteed.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional requirements
in terms of the hygienic preparation needed (hand care, han-
dling of medication/inhalation solutions) for high-risk groups
(e.g. patients with cystic fibrosis).
• Ensure thorough drying after each cleaning and disinfection
process. Residual moisture or wetness can represent an in-
creased risk of bacterial growth.
8
Preparation
• Immediately after each treatment, all parts of the atomiser
8
and the rest of the atomiser set used must be cleaned of med-
ication residues and contamination.
• To do this, dismantle the atomiser
8
into its individual parts.
• Remove the mouthpiece
12
, mask
13
14
or nosepiece
21
from the atomiser.
• Disassemble the nosepiece if you have used it with the com-
fort attachment.
• Dismantle the atomiser by twisting the top anticlockwise
against the medication container
11
.
• Remove the atomiser insert
9
from the medication container
11
.
• Remove the valve
10
by pulling it out of the atomiser
8
.
• Reassembly is carried out in reverse order.
Cleaning
CAUTION
The device must be switched o, disconnected from the mains
and allowed to cool down each time before cleaning.
The atomiser
8
and the used accessories, such as the mouth-
piece
12
, masks
13
14
, atomiser insert
9
, nasal douche
21
, etc. must be washed with hot but not boiling water after each
use. Dry the parts carefully using a soft cloth. Put the parts to-
gether again when they are completely dry and place them in a
dry, sealed container or disinfect them.
When cleaning, ensure that any residue is removed. Never use
any substances for cleaning that could potentially be toxic if they
came into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, or if they
were swallowed or inhaled.
Use a soft, dry cloth and non-abrasive cleaning products to
clean the device.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and never submerge
the device in water.
CAUTION
• Make sure that no water gets inside the device!
• Do not clean the device or atomiser set in the dishwasher!
• Do not touch the device with wet hands when it is plugged in
and do not allow water to spray on the device. Only operate
the device if it is completely dry.
• Do not spray any liquid into the vents! If liquid penetrates
the device this could cause damage to the electrics or other
nebuliser parts and lead to a malfunction.
Condensation, hose care
Condensation may form in the hose depending on the ambient
conditions. It is essential to remove the moisture to prevent bac-
terial growth and ensure proper treatment. To do so, proceed as
follows:
• Disconnect the hose
7
from the atomiser
8
.
• The hose must remain in the nebuliser
4
.
• Operate the nebuliser until the moisture is removed by the air
passing through.
• In the event of heavy contamination, replace the hose.
Disinfection
Please carefully observe the points below when disinfecting your
atomiser and the atomiser set. We recommend disinfecting the
individual parts on a daily basis after the last usage as a minimum
measure.
• First, clean the atomiser and atomiser set as described in the
“Cleaning” section.
• Place the disassembled atomiser
8
, the nasal douche (n/a),
the mouthpiece
12
, the silicone masks
13
14
and the disas-
sembled nosepiece in boiling water for 5 minutes.
• For disinfection, immerse the compressed air hose and the
PVC masks (not included) for 15 minutes in a 2% sodium hy-
pochlorite (NaOCl) solution (i.e. a solution with Amuchina®
disinfectant or a 2% sodium hypochlorite solution prepared
by your pharmacist). Afterwards rinse all parts thoroughly with
tap water, to fully remove any possible residue of the disin-
fectant solution.
CAUTION
Do not boil or autoclave the compressed air hose or the PVC
masks (not included).
• Put the parts together again when they are completely dry
and place them in a dry, sealed container.
NOTICE
Ensure that the parts are completely dried after cleaning, other-
wise the risk of bacterial growth is increased.
Drying
• Place the individual parts on a clean, dry and absorbent sur-
face and leave them to dry completely (at least 4 hours).
Durability of materials
• As with any plastic parts, atomisers and the rest of the atom-
iser set are aected by a certain amount of wear and tear
when used and hygienically prepared on a frequent basis.
Over time, this can lead to a change in the aerosol, which can
have a negative eect on the eciency of the treatment. We
therefore advise you to replace the atomiser and the atomiser
set no later than one year if the parts are not disinfected more
than 360 times a year. Frequent disinfection shortens the ser-
vice life of the parts.
• The following point should be observed when selecting the
cleaning product or disinfectant: Only use a mild cleaning
product or disinfectant in the concentration and volume pre-
scribed by the manufacturer.
Storage
• Do not store in damp conditions (such as in a bathroom) and
do not transport with any damp items.
• When storing and transporting, protect from prolonged direct
sunlight.
• • The atomiser set parts can be safely stored in the storage
bag. Store the device in a dry place, ideally in the original
packaging.

11. WHAT IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS?
Problems/ques-
tions
Possible cause/remedy
What should
be taken into
account when
using the device
with babies and
children?
1. On babies, the mask should cover the
mouth and nose to ensure eective
inhalation.
2. On children, the mask should also cover
both the nose and mouth.
The atomiser
produces no or
too little aerosol.
1. Too much or too little medication in the
atomiser.
Minimum: 2ml,
Maximum: 8 ml.
2. Check nozzle for blockages.
Clean nozzle if necessary (e.g. by rins-
ing out). Then start using the atomiser
again.
IMPORTANT: Carefully pierce the fine
holes only from the underside of the
nozzle.
3. Atomiser not held vertically.
4. Unsuitable medication fluid added for
nebulisation (e.g. too viscous).
The medication fluid should be prescribed
by a doctor.
The output is too
low.
Kinked hose, clogged filter, too much
inhalation solution.
What medica-
tions are suitable
for inhaling?
Please consult your doctor in relation to
this matter.
As a rule, all medication that is suitable
and approved for device inhalation can
be inhaled.
There is inha-
lation solution
residue in the
atomiser.
This is normal and is due to technical
reasons. Stop inhalation once the atomiser
starts to make a notably dierent sound.
What should
be taken into
account when
using the device
with children?
On children, the mask should cover
the mouth and nose to ensure eective
inhalation. It is not very useful to carry out
nebulisation on someone who is sleeping,
as in this case not enough of the medica-
tion will reach the lungs.
Notice: Inhalation should only be carried
out under the supervision of an adult and
with their assistance and the child should
not be left alone.
Problems/ques-
tions
Possible cause/remedy
Why should
the atomiser
be replaced
regularly?
There are two reasons for this:
1. To ensure a therapeutically eective
particle spectrum, the nozzle hole must
not exceed a specific diameter. Due to
mechanical and thermal stresses, the
plastic is subject to a certain degree
of wear. The atomiser insert
10
is
particularly delicate. This can also alter
the composition of the aerosol droplets,
which directly aects the eectiveness
of the treatment.
2. Regularly changing the atomiser is also
recommended for hygiene reasons.
Should each per-
son have their
own atomiser?
Yes, this is absolutely essential for hygiene
reasons.
12. DISPOSAL
For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the device in the
household waste.
Please dispose of the device in accordance with EC Di-
rective – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment).
If you have any questions, please contact the local au-
thorities responsible for waste disposal.

Particle size diagram
Measurements were performed using a sodium fluoride solution
with a “Next Generation Impactor” (NGI).
The diagram may therefore not be applicable to suspensions or
highly viscous medications. You can obtain more detailed infor-
mation from the manufacturer of your medication.
Aerosol values are based on adult breathing patterns and are like-
ly to vary for paediatric or infant populations.
