Instructions for Use
TNI soft Flow
• Do not let children play with the hoses or cables to prevent injuries such as strangulation or swallo-
wing of small parts.
• Do not reach into the housing directly after use since inner parts such as the heating plate and the
bottom of the humidifier might be hot.
• Do not cover the device nor the applicator during use.
• Position the device where it cannot fall into water.
• Disconnect the power supply and discontinue use if water enters the housing or escapes from the
humidification chamber.
• Disconnect the power supply and discontinue use if the device has been dropped or damaged.
• If the power cord or plug is damaged, disconnect the power supply and discontinue use.
• Do not use damaged applicators.
• Do not connect unauthorized components to the power socket.
• Ensure that the characteristics of the local power supply correspond to the requirements of the TNI
softFlow system. See the device’s name plate and chapter Product specifications.

• Do not use the TNI softFlow system in MRI environments, near HF surgical equipment or in other
environments where the intensity of the EM disturbances is high.
