Sick infants often struggle when the mask is pressed against
their face, and twist their head back and forth. To ensure
effective inhalation, hold the mask firmly in your hand and rest
your little finger against the child's cheek. This will enable you
to follow the movements of the child's head with the mask
more easily.
• Complete the treatment session.
• Replace the nebuliser in the holder as soon as you have fin-
ished inhaling.
• Switch the compressor off.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION AT HOME
The nebuliser and the accessories used must be cleaned
thoroughly after each application and disinfected at least once
a day.
The connection tubing cannot be cleaned or disinfected.
4.1 Preparation
• Detach the tubing from the nebuliser.
• Make sure that all medication residues are removed from
the nebuliser.
• Dismantle the nebuliser into its individual parts.
• Carefully pull the blue expirat-
ory valve out of the slot in the
mouthpiece. The valve must
still be attached to the mouth-
piece.
• Rinse all components of the nebuliser under running tap wa-
ter. This must be done especially thoroughly if cleaning and
disinfection are not carried out straight away.
