Problem/
Question
Possible Cause/Remedy
Which medi-
cines are suit-
able for inhala-
tion?
Only the doctor can advise you
which medicine to use to treat your
condition.
Consult your doctor.
With the IH 50, you can atomise
medicines with a viscosity lower
than 3.
Some inhala-
tion solution
remains in the
nebuliser.
This is normal and occurs for techni-
cal reasons. Stop inhaling as soon
as you can hear a marked differ-
ence in the sound made by the at-
omiser, or when the device switches
off automatically due to insufficient
inhalant.
What should be
taken into ac-
count when us-
ing the device
with infants and
children?
1. In babies, the mask should cover
the mouth and nose to guarantee
effective inhalation.
2. In children, the mask should also
cover the mouth and nose. Nebu-
lisation next to a sleeping person
is not suitable because insufficient
medicine reaches the lungs.
Note:
Children should only use the
device with help and under supervi-
sion of an adult. Never leave a child
alone with the nebuliser.
Inhalation with
the mask takes
longer.
This is for technical reasons. Less
medicine is inhaled per breath
through the mask holes than us-
ing the mouthpiece. The aerosol is
mixed with ambient air through the
holes in the mask.
Does each user
need their own
accessories?
This is absolutely necessary for hy-
giene reasons.
