8. Cleaning and disinfection
Atomiser and accessories
Warning
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid
health risks.
• The atomiser [7] and accessories are designed for mul-
tiple use. Please note that different areas of application
involve different requirements in terms of cleaning and
hygienic preparation.
Notes:
• Do not clean the atomiser or the accessories mechan-
ically 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.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional re-
quirements in terms of the hygienic preparation re-
quired (hand care, handling of medication/inhalation
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 atom-
iser [7] and the accessories used must be cleaned of
residual medication and contamination.
• Remove the mouthpiece [11], masks [12, 13] or the
nosepiece [n/a] from the atomiser.
• Disassemble the nosepiece [n/a] if you have used it
with the comfort attachment.
• Remove the masks [12, 13] from the angled fitting [14].
• Disassemble the atomiser [7] by
twisting the top anticlockwise
against the medication container
[8].
• Remove the atomiser insert [9]
from the medication container [8].
Remove the atomiser attachment
[10].
• Reassembly is carried out in
reverse order.
Cleaning
The device must be switched off, disconnected from
the mains and allowed to cool down each time before
cleaning.
The atomiser and the accessories used such as the
mouthpiece, mask, etc. must be washed with hot but
not boiling water after each use. Dry the parts carefully
using a soft cloth. Put the parts together again when
they are completely dry and place them in a dry, sealed
container or disinfect them.
When cleaning, ensure that any residue is removed. Nev-
er use any substances for cleaning that could potentially
be toxic if they came into contact with the skin or mu-
cous membranes, or if they were swallowed or inhaled.
Use a soft, dry cloth and non-abrasive cleaning products
to clean the device.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and never
submerge the device in water.
• 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
plugged in and do not allow water to spray on the
device. Only operate the device if it is completely dry.
• If liquid penetrates the device this could cause damage
to the electrics or other nebuliser parts and lead to a
malfunction.
Condensation, hose care
Condensation may form in the hose depending on the
10
ambient conditions. It is essential to remove the moisture
to prevent bacterial growth and ensure proper treatment.
To do so, proceed as follows:
• Remove the compressed air hose [6] from the atomiser
[7].
8
• The hose must remain connected to the nebuliser [5].
• Operate the nebuliser until the moisture is removed
by the air passing through.
9
• In the event of heavy contamination, replace the hose.
