Inhaling with the SMARTMASK Baby
To ensure effective treatment with the SMARTMASK Baby, the mask must completely
cover both corners of the mouth and the nose. If the mask is too small, you can use
the mouthpiece or buy a suitable PARI child mask from your specialist dealer.
• Hold the VELOX horizontally.
• Gently press the mask against the face so
that it fits snugly over the mouth and nose.
To minimise aerosol losses, make sure that
the mask is firmly in place.
Sick infants often struggle when the mask is pressed against their face, and twist
their head back and forth. For effective inhalation, hold the nebuliser from behind
so that your fingers support the mask and your little finger rests on your child's
cheek. This will enable you to follow the movements of the child's head with the
mask more easily.
Make sure that both side openings in the mask are unob-
structed, so that the child can breathe out freely.
