vice in the household waste.
Please dispose of the device in accordance wi-
th EC Directive –
WEEE
(Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment).
If you have any questions, please contact the
local authorities responsible for waste disposal.
10. Troubleshooting
Problem/
question
Possible cause/remedy
The atomiser
produces no
or too little
aerosol.
1. Too much or too little medication
in the atomiser.
Minimum: 2 ml,
Maximum: 8 ml.
2. Check nozzle for blockages.
Clean nozzle if necessary (e.g.
by rinsing out). Then start using
the atomiser again.
IMPORTANT:
Carefully pierce
the fine holes from the underside
of the nozzle only.
3. Atomiser not held vertically.
The atomiser
produces no
or too little
aerosol.
4. Unsuitable medication fluid
added for nebulisation (e.g. too
viscous).
The medication fluid should be
prescribed by the doctor.
The output is
too low.
Kinked hose, clogged filter, too
much inhalation solution.
What medi-
cations 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 different sound.
What should
be taken into
account when
using the
device with
infants and
children?
1. On infants and children, the
mask should cover the mouth
and nose to ensure effective
inhalation.

question
Possible cause/remedy
2. On children, the mask should
also cover both the nose and
mouth. It is not very useful to
carry out nebulisation next to
someone who is sleeping, as
in this case not enough of the
medication will reach the lungs.
Note:
Inhalation should only be
carried out under the supervision
of an adult and with their assi-
stance and the child should not be
left alone.
Why should
the atomiser
be replaced
regularly?
There are two reasons for this:
1. To ensure a therapeutically
effective particle spectrum, the
nozzle hole must not exceed a
specific diameter. Due to me-
chanical and thermal stresses,
the plastic is subject to a certain
degree of wear. The atomiser
insert [9] is particularly sensitive.
This can also alter the compo-
sition of the aerosol droplets,
which directly affects the effec-
tiveness of the treatment.
2. Regularly changing the atomiser
is also recommended for hygie-
ne reasons.
Should each
person have
their own
atomiser?
Yes, this is absolutely essential for
hygiene reasons.
