Operating the unit
Operating the unit
• Place the mouthpiece or mask (subject to your prefe-
rence) on the angle adapter attached to the nebuliser
unit (Image 5).
Warning: Always keep the nebuliser unit upright so that the medicine
does not leak and can be nebulised as much as possible.
• Plug the power cord into an appropriate electrical out-
let. Make sure at this stage, the power switch is at “O”
status.
• Put the mouthpiece into your mouth and press the nebulis-
ing button (Image 6).
• Press power switch to begin your prescribed treatment.

• Keep the nebulising button depressed and breathe in slow-
ly and deeply over a period of 3–5 seconds.
• Release the nebulising button after breathing in to inter-
rupt nebulising.
• Hold your breath for approx. 10 seconds so that the medication can go
down your respiratory tract.
• Press the nebulising button again for another intake of breath and to con-
tinue the treatment.
• Repeat this process until the medication is used up.
When treatment is finished, shut off the unit and unplug it from the electrical
outlet.
• Breathe out through the mouthpiece or mask.
Occasionally tapping on the side of the nebuliser unit will cause any drops
that may have developed on the inside to run down, so they can then be
nebulised again.
The device has a PEP training function, which can be used to combine the
inhalation process with a PEP breathing exercise as required.
For the PEP breathing exercise (PEP = Positive Expiratory Pressure), posi-
tive pressure is built up when breathing out. The bronchial tubes expand
when breathing out due to the increasing pressure and narrow again when
the pressure drops. This constant expansion and narrowing of the bronchial
tubes creates a massaging effect, which has a positive impact on respiratory
tract therapy.
You can lock the nebulising button so that you can nebulise
continuously. To do so, press the nebulising button on the
nebuliser unit and push the locking button down until you
hear it engage.
To unlock the nebulising button again, push the nebulising
button upwards. The nebulising button will thus release again.
Notes:
PEP training feature
To use the PEP training function, place the PEP attachment
onto the exhalation valve of the nebuliser (see figure on page
8). Then perform the treatment in the usual way as described
in the previous chapter.
Regular PEP training facilitates more effective removal of stubborn mucus,
eases expectoration and trains respiratory muscles.
