INHALATION
CAUTION
Risk of cross-contamination in the case of a change in
patients
(in the professional environment): If the nebuliser is
used for more than one patient, there is a risk that the germs
can be transmitted from one patient to the next via the
nebuliser and its accessories. To prevent this, the nebuliser
and accessories must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised,
and the connection tubing must be cleaned and disinfected
mechanically or replaced before every change of patient
[see: General, page 57].
3.1 Assembling the nebuliser
CAUTION
Check all nebuliser components and the accessories before
each use. Replace any broken, misshapen or seriously
discoloured parts. Please also follow the instructions for as-
sembly given below. Damaged components and/or an in-
correctly assembled nebuliser may impair
functioning of the
nebuliser
and thus
treatment as well
.
• Press the nozzle attachment
lightly onto the nozzle in the
nebuliser lower section.
The arrow on the nozzle at-
tachment must point upwards.
• Place the nebuliser upper sec-
tion on the nebuliser lower sec-
tion and turn it clockwise to
lock the two parts together.
