application, place one finger over
the cover hole [22] on the container.

During the application, breathe slowly
and evenly through the nose. Tilt your
head slightly in the opposite direction
to the nostril being treated so that the
saline solution can flow deep into the
nose.

take your finger off the cover hole
[22] on the saline container [21].

See "Cleaning and disinfection" on page 31.

7. Changing the filter

In normal operating conditions, the air fil-
ter must be replaced after approx. 200 operat-
ing hours or one year. Please check the air filter
regularly (after 10-12 nebulisation procedures).
Replace the used filter if it is very dirty or clogged. If
the filter has become damp, it must also be exchanged
for a new filter.
Important
• Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse it.
• Use only the manufacturer's original filter, otherwise
your nebuliser may become damaged and sufficient-
ly effective therapy cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is in use.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
Important
• First switch the device off and disconnect it from the
mains.
• Allow the device to cool down.
1. Pull off the filter cap [5]
towards the front.
If the filter remains in the device after the cap has been
removed, take the filter out of the device, e.g. with
tweezers or similar.
2. Re-insert the filter cap [5] with a new filter.
3. Ensure that it is securely in place.

8. Cleaning and disinfection

Atomiser and accessories
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid
health risks.
• The atomiser [9] and accessories are designed for
multiple use. Please note that different areas of ap-
plication involve different requirements in terms of
cleaning and hygienic preparation.
Notes:
• Do not clean the atomiser or the accessories me-
chanically 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 guaran-
teed.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional
requirements in terms of the hygienic preparation
needed (hand care, handling of medication/inhala-
tion solutions) for high-risk groups (e.g. patients with
cystic fibrosis).
• Ensure thorough drying after each cleaning or disin-
fection process. Residual moisture or wetness can
represent an increased risk of bacterial growth.
Preparation
• Immediately after each treatment, all
parts of the atomiser [9] and the used
accessories must be cleaned of re-
sidual medication and contamination.
• To do this, dismantle the atomiser [9]
and the nasal douche [7] into their
individual parts.
• Remove the mouth piece [13], the
mask [14, 15] or the nosepiece [16]
from the atomiser.
• Disassemble the nosepiece if you have used it with
the comfort attachment.
• Dismantle the atomiser by twisting the top anti-
5
clockwise against the medication container [12].
• Remove the atomiser insert [10] from the medica-
tion container [12].
• Remove the valve [11] by pulling it out of the atom-
iser [9].
• Reassembly is carried out in reverse order.
