NOTES
• Consult your doctor before using any medicinal
products or medicines to ensure that they are suitable
for your needs or alternatively only use the medicinal
products/medicine prescribed for you by your doctor.
• The MEDISANA IN 525 ultrasonic inhaler is suitable for
use with all common aerosol products (aerosols) with
the exception of:
- Products with solid constituents (suspensions)
- Viscous solutions (high viscosity)
- Volatile oils
• Do not use any volatile oils since this may lead to
damage to the nebulizer mesh.
• Use only water-soluble products/medicines or those
which have an alcohol base.
• Use only isotonic saline solution to dilute the inhalant;
otherwise bronchial spasms may occur in certain
circumstances.
• Do not use oil-based inhalants.
• After using the device for salt solution inhalation, it
must be cleaned and rinsed out, according to section
„
4.1 Cleaning and maintenance
“.

Ultrasound technology
An aerosol is generated in the ultrasonic nebulizer due to the
vibrations of a piezoelectric crystal. Thus, electric energy is
transformed into mechanical oscillations which create droplets. The
optimum diameter of the droplets is 1 - 5 μm (according to
"Guidelines for the aerosol therapy of lung diseases", Lungenliga
Schweiz). The droplets can only penetrate into the narrow branches
of the upper and lower airways if they have a small diameter thus
transporting and depositing the medicine where it is intended to be
most effective.
