• Take deep and slow breaths in and out through
your nose. After breathing in, hold your breath
briefly to increase the effectiveness of the therapy.
Remain calm and relaxed during the treatment.
Take breaths at regular intervals and do not breathe
too fast. If you want to pause the inhalation briefly,
switch off the device by pressing the ON/OFF but-
ton and remove the mask from your face for a mo-
ment. To continue with the inhalation, place the

Replacing the medication container

ing usage every time inhalation treatment is carried out.
This is to avoid deposits and chemical reactions due to
medical products. In the package you will find 12 medi-
cation containers which can be used to replace used
containers. Additional containers can be obtained from
the Customer Services address provided.

9. Changing the filter

Check the filter regularly (e.g. after every tenth use).
Replace the used filter if it is very dirty or blocked
(but at the latest after 6 month). If the filter has be-
come wet, it must also be replaced with a new one.
Caution
• Do not try to clean and re-use the used filter!
• Only use original filters supplied by the manufac-
turer. Otherwise, your nebuliser may become da-
maged or effective therapy can no longer be gua-
ranteed.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
Caution
• First switch off the unit and unplug it.
• Allow the unit to cool
1. Remove the filter cap [11] in a
downwards motion.
2. After replacing the old filter
with a new one, replace the
filter cap.
3. Ensure that it is securely in
place.

10. Cleaning and disinfection

Warning
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid
health risks.
• The atomiser and accessories are designed for
multiple usage. Please note that different areas of
application involve different requirements in terms
of cleaning and hygienic preparation.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional
requirements in terms of the hygienic preparation
needed (hand care, handling of medication/inha-
lation solutions) for high-risk groups (e.g. patients
with cystic fibrosis).
Important
• The device must be switched off and allowed to
cool down each time before cleaning (the ultrason-
ic transducer heats up considerably during usage).
• Do not clean the ultrasonic transducer or the acces-
sories mechanically using a brush or similar device,
as this could cause irreparable damage and it will
mean that the best treatment results can no longer
be guaranteed.
• Ensure that no water gets inside the device!
• Do not clean the device or accessories in the dish-
washer!
• Do not touch the device with wet hands when it
is switched on and do not allow water to spray on
the device. The device may only be operated when
it is completely dry (this excludes the liquids that
are required to be used in the water tank and the
medication container).
• Do not spray any liquid into the vents! If liquid pen-
etrates the device this could cause damage to the
electronics or other nebuliser parts and lead to a
malfunction.
Cleaning
When you have detached the device from the mains
socket, remove the cover and if required remove any
remaining residue from the medication container and
the nebulisation chamber.
The used accessories such as the mouthpiece,
mask, adapter, etc. must be washed with hot water
after each use. Dry the parts carefully using a soft
cloth and place the parts in a dry, sealed container
or disinfect them.
• Clean the tank and the cover with a cloth soaked
in water or vinegar.
• Clean the surface of the device using a damp cloth
(water or a mild cleaning solution). Dry the device
using a lint-free cloth..
