Problem/
Question
Possible Cause/Remedy
What special
steps should
be taken for
babies and
children?
1. In babies, the mask should cover the
mouth and nose to guarantee effec-
tive inhalation.
2. In children, the mask should also
cover the mouth and nose. Nebulisa-
tion next to a sleeping person is
not suitable because insufficient
medicine reaches the lungs.
Note: Children should only use the
device with help and under supervision
of an adult. Never leave a child alone
with the nebuliser.
Inhalation with
the mask takes
longer.
This is for technical reasons. Less medi-
cine is inhaled per breath through the
mask holes than using the mouthpiece.
The aerosol is mixed with ambient air
through the holes in the mask.
Why do I need
to replace the
atomiser at
regular inter-
vals?
There are two reasons for this:
1. To guarantee a therapeutically ef-
fective particle spectrum, the nozzle
holes should not exceed a certain
diameter. Due to the thermal and
mechanical stresses, the plastic is
subjected to a certain amount of
wear. The atomiser [8] is particularly
sensitive. This can also cause chang-
es to the droplet composition of the
aerosol, which has a direct effect on
the effectiveness of the treatment.
2. You are also recommended to re-
place the atomiser on a regular basis
for hygiene reasons.
Does each per-
son need their
own atomiser?
This is absolutely necessary for hygiene
reasons.
