1.4 Treatment of babies, children and anyone
who requires assistance
Babies, children and anyone who requires assistance must be
supervised constantly by an adult during inhalation therapy.
This is the only way to ensure safe and effective treatment. In-
dividuals in this group often underestimate the hazards in-
volved (e.g. strangulation with the power cord or the connec-
tion tubing), thus resulting in a risk of injury.
The product contains small parts. Small parts can block the air-
ways and lead to a choking hazard. Therefore, make sure that
you always keep the compressor, the nebuliser and the ac-
cessories out of the reach of babies and infants.
Special masks may be obtained for treating babies and infants
who are not yet able to inhale using the mouthpiece.
The nebulisers are only designed for patients who are able to
breathe by themselves and are conscious. This is the only way
to ensure effective treatment and avoid a choking hazard.
1.5 Hygiene
Observe the following hygiene instructions:
– Do not use product components unless they have been
thoroughly cleaned and dried. Contamination and residual
moisture encourage the growth of bacteria, so increasing
the risk of infection.
– Before every use and cleaning, wash your hands
thoroughly.
– Make absolutely sure you also carry out cleaning and drying
before using the device for the first time.
– For cleaning and disinfection, always use fresh water with
reduced calcium content.
– Make sure all components are dried properly whenever you
have performed cleaning or disinfection.
– Do not keep the product and accessories in a damp environ-
ment or together with damp objects.
