For information about this, see “Cleaning and disinfec-
tion” on page 14.
7. Changing the filter
Check the filter after every 10th use. If the filter is very
contaminated or blocked, replace the used filter. If the
filter has become wet, it must also be replaced with
a new one.
Caution
• Do not try to clean and re-use the used filter!
• Only use original filters supplied by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, your nebuliser may become damaged or
effective therapy can no longer be guaranteed.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
Caution
• First switch off the unit and unplug it.
• Allow the unit to cool down.
1. Turn the filter cap [5] an-
ti-clockwise and remove
it towards the front.
Note
If the filter remains in the unit when the cap is removed,
remove the filter from the unit using tweezers or similar.
2. Re-insert the filter cap [5] with a new filter. To do
this, insert the cap and turn clockwise until it is felt
to engage.
3. Check that the filter cap is firmly in place.
8. Cleaning and disinfection
Atomiser and accessories
Warning
Observe the following hygiene instructions in order to
avoid any health risks.
• The atomiser [8] and accessories are intended for
multiple use. Please note that cleaning requirements
differ according to the different application areas.
Notes:
• The atomiser and accessories must not be me-
chanically cleaned with brushes or similar as this
can cause irreparable damage and the success of
the treatment can no longer be guaranteed.
• For additional requirements regarding the necessary
hygienic preparations (hand washing, handling of
medicines or inhalation solutions) in high-risk groups
(e.g. cystic fibrosis patients), contact your doctor.
• Ensure that all parts are properly dried following all
cleaning and disinfection. Residual moisture or water
droplets can result in an increased risk of bacterial
growth.
Preparation
• Directly following each treatment, all parts of the
atomiser [8] and any accessories used must be
cleaned of medicine residues and contamination.
• To do this, dismantle the atomiser [8] into its indi-
vidual parts.
• Remove the mouthpiece [11] from the atomiser.
• Dismantle the atomiser by turning
the atomiser insert [9] anticlockwise
against the medication container [10]
and pull upwards.
• The nebuliser is later reassembled in
the reverse order.
Cleaning
Important
Before you clean the unit, always switch it off, unplug
it and let it cool off.
The atomiser and the used accessories such as
mouthpiece, mask, etc. must be washed with hot wa-
ter after each use.
Carefully dry all components using a soft cloth. Once
all components are fully dry, reassemble the atomiser
and place the components in a dry, sealed container
or carry out disinfection.
When cleaning, ensure that all residues are removed.
Never use any substances that may be poisonous
when in contact with the skin or mucous membranes,
or when swallowed or inhaled.
Clean the
device using a damp cloth, to which you can
apply a little detergent if necessary.
Do not use abrasive detergents and never immerse the
unit in water.
Important
• Ensure that no water penetrates inside the unit!
• Do not put the device or accessories in a dishwasher.
• Do not touch the unit with wet hands while it is plugged
in; do not allow any water to be sprayed onto the unit.
The unit must be operated only when it is completely
dry.
• Do not spray any liquids into the ventilation slots. Any
liquid that penetrates into the unit can damage the
electrical parts or other components of the nebuliser
