• Switch the compressor on.
DANGER! Danger of
death by electrocution in the
case of device fault! Switch
the compressor off and discon-
nect the power plug from the
mains socket immediately if a
fault is suspected (e.g., follow-
ing a fall or if there is a smell of
burning plastic). If there is a
fault in the device, it may be possible to come into contact
with live parts. This in turn may lead to an electric shock.
• Check that an aerosol is being generated before you begin
the treatment.
Information about the PIF-Control System:
The PARI PIF-Control System in
the nebuliser upper section is
designed to help the patient learn
a slow, controlled inhalation
technique. This improves uptake
of the active agent in the lower
airways.
If the patient breathes in too
quickly, the inflow of air is
reduced, and this increases the
resistance when inhaling.
If you feel increased resistance when inhaling during the treat-
ment, proceed as follows:
• Breathe out.
• Breathe in again slowly. Try to breathe in slowly enough that
you no longer feel increased resistance.
