IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• Before using the unit for the first time, and periodically throughout its life, check the
integrity of its structure and of the power cable, making sure that there is no damage;
if it is damaged, do not insert the plug and take the product immediately to an
authorized FLAEM technical assistance centre or to your local dealer. Take the appliance
immediately to an authorised service centre or your dealer.
• This unit is especially suitable for administering drugs in solution form and can also
work with drugs in suspension form. However, in the case of some glycol containing
drugs the instructions for use advise against using ultrasound devices, since these
drugs cannot be nebulised with them.
• Interactions: the materials used that come into contact with drugs have been tested
with a wide range of medications. However, due to the variety and continuous
evolution of medication, the possibility of a chemical interaction cannot be excluded.
Once opened, the medication should be used as soon as possible, and prolonged
contact between drug and nebuliser chamber should be avoided.
• Use the unit with a dose of at least 4 ml to be nebulised; if necessary, dilute the drug
with physiological solution.
• It is normal for there to be a non-nebulised drug residual of around 0.5 – 0.8 ml at
the end of treatment; therefore, when nebulisation becomes discontinuous, stop the
treatment as it is pointless to insist on nebulising the remainder, thus causing the unit
to overheat.
• Never press the nebuliser button in the absence of medication in order not to overheat
the transducer.
• Always keep the unit in an upright position to prevent the medication from spilling out.
• When the adjustment knob is in the “STOP” position, no aerosol is emitted.
• Never operate the device without solution (drug).
• Do not use the tubes and the cords of the device for purposes other than those specified
as they may cause strangulation hazard; utmost attention must be paid to children
