Attention
The use of self-mixed medications is always at the user‘s own risk, as both the mixing ratio and the
ingredients are unknown and therefore proper functioning cannot be guaranteed.
The inhalation of essential oils or other plant extracts is generally not recommended with an electric nebuli-
zer, as these are too aggressive for nebulization and can lead to enormous irritation of the mucous membranes,
up to and including severe allergic reactions and bronchospasms. In addition, they promote greatly premature
wear of the SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit.
Tests with various inhalation solutions have shown that chemical reactions and thus premature wear occur
with subsequent preparations, so that their use is not recommended:
• Essential oils
• Preparations with the active ingredient acetylcysteine
• Preparations with hypochlorous acid
Defects resulting from the use of these preparations do not justify any guarantee or warranty rights on your part.
Please note that although medications with different trade names may contain the same active ingredient,
the dosage or composition may be different. Accordingly, the effect of the preparation on the components of the
SaHoMa®-II inhalation set for horses is different, which in turn could influence the wear or the nebulization duration.
Warning
As a rule, nebulization of inhalation solutions suitable for inhalation with an electric nebulizer does not present
any problems. It should always be noted that the SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit is a consumable item that
is subject to mechanical wear. The degree of wear depends on several factors, such as the inhalation solution,
the inhalation frequency and quantity, and the care of the consumable. In the interest of effective inhala-
tion therapy, the SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit must be replaced regularly, regardless of the inhalation
solution used.
When using the above-mentioned inhalation solutions, please also adhere to the following recommendations
with regard to the use and cleaning of the SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization units:
• Use one SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit per inhalation solution and horse to avoid interactions
or cross-contamination. For this purpose, label the SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit accordingly to
ensure traceability.
• Always use NaCl 0.9 % - not (sterile / distilled) water or brine - for mixing or diluting inhalation
solutions to avoid the risk of clogging the SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit with coarser salt crystals.
• The inhalation solution used should be mixed 1:1 with NaCl 0.9 % (e.g. 2 ml inhalation solution and
2 ml NaCl 0.9 %), and at best even filled up to the maximum filling quantity of 17 ml (i.e. 2 ml inhala-
tion solution with 15 ml NaCl 0.9 %).
• Mix the inhalation solution in the medication and mixing cup shortly before use and not directly in the
SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit. Shake the medication and mixing cup well afterwards so that the
inhalation solution combines with the NaCl 0.9 %. If you do not start nebulization after this step, shake
the inhalation solution again immediately before filling and starting to prevent the preparations from
separating again.
• For nebulization, it is advisable to try it out in program 1 for the time being. If the SaHoMa®-II control
unit switches off unintentionally in program 1 due to excessive bubble or foam formation, please start
the SaHoMa®-II control unit in program 2 (time program). Set the time according to the inhalation
volume used (guide value: approx. 1 ml per minute) and observe the inhalation process. If the
SaHoMa®-II control unit does not switch off after nebulizing the inhalation solution, please switch it
off manually at the end of the process. For further information, please refer to chapter 3 „Performing
and ending the inhalation process“.
Cleaning the SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit
The SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit used should be cleaned with sterile or distilled water after each inhalation
process. When using brine inhalation solutions or medications, a different cleaning procedure is necessary. For the
exact cleaning procedure, please refer to chapter 4.2 „Cleaning the SaHoMa®-II mesh nebulization unit“.
