masks have an outer edge made of
soft
biocompatible material that ensures excellent ad-
herence to the face, and is also equipped with an
innovative Dispersion Limiting Device . These dis-
tinctive elements that distinguish it allow greater
sedimentation of medication in the patient and also
limit dispersion .
During the expiratory phase, the

HOW TO USE THE “RF7 DUAL SPEED” NEBULIZER WITH THE SPEED SELECTOR
Professional and fast, this device is suitable for administering all types of medications,
including more expensive ones,even in patients with chronic diseases. The geometry
of the internal lines of the RF7 Dual Speed nebulizer ensures the ideal granulometry for
active treatment all the way down to the lower respiratory tract.
To speed up the inhalation therapy, move the speed selector button
(C1.4) by pressing on MAX with your finger.
To increase the effectiveness of the inhalation therapy, press with your
finger on the wording MIN of the speed selector (C1.4). In this position,
the speed selector acts as a valve and allows nebulizing the optimal
amount of drug to the lower respiratory tract, reducing its dispersion in
the environment.

DISINFECTION
After sanitising the nebuliser cup and the accessories, disinfect them choosing one of the
methods described below.
method A: Accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3 can be disinfected.
The disinfectant must be an electrolytic chloroxidizer (active principle: sodium
hypochlorite) specific for disinfecting, which is available in any pharmacy.
Implementation:
- Fill a container big enough to hold all of the parts to disinfect with a solution of potable
water and disinfectant, according to the proportions indicated on the packaging of the
disinfectant.
- Completely immerse each part in the solution, taking care to avoid the formation of air
bubbles on the parts. Leave the parts immersed for the amount of time indicated on the
packaging of the disinfectant associated with the concentration chosen for the solution.
- Remove the disinfected parts and rinse abundantly with warm potable water.
- Dispose of the solution following the instructions provided by the disinfectant
manufacturer.
method B: Sanitise the accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3 by boiling them in water
for 10 minutes; use demineralised or distilled water to prevent calcium deposits.
method C: Sanitise the accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3 with a hot steam steriliser
for baby-bottle (not the microwave type). Perform the process faithfully following the
instructions of the steriliser. To ensure that the disinfection is effective, choose a steriliser
with an operating cycle of at least 6 minutes.
After having disinfected the accessories, shake them vigorously and place them on a
paper towel. Alternatively, dry them with a jet of hot air (for example, from a hair dryer).
REPLACING THE FILTER
The device has a suction filter (A3) that should be replaced when it is
dirty or changes color. Do not wash or reuse the same filter. Regular
replacement of the filter is required to help and ensure correct
performance of the compressor. Check the filter on a regular basis.
Contact your local dealer or authorized service center for spare filters.
To replace the filter:
Insert a flathead screwdriver between the edge of the filter and the
body. Lift the filter and remove it by turning and pulling it. The filter
has been designed so that it is always fixed in its seat.
Use original FLAEM accessories only.
