• Gently press the mask against
the face so that it fits snugly
over the mouth and nose.
Make sure that the nebuliser is
upright.
• If desired, use the elastic band
to hold the mask in place
against the face.
The elastic band should pass
round the back of the head.
Teach the child to perform the following inhalation manoeuvre:
• Breathe in as slowly and deeply as possible through the
mask and out again calmly.
• Continue inhaling until the noise in the nebuliser changes.
Some residual fluid will remain in the nebuliser after the end
of the treatment.
Using the LC interrupter
If the LC interrupter is attached, aerosol is not generated until
the interrupter button is pressed. Proceed as follows to inhale
and to interrupt aerosol generation when breathing out:
• Press the interrupter button to
generate aerosol.
Info: If the button cannot be
pressed, it is locked and the
LC interrupter has been set for
permanent nebulising. In this
case, unlock the interrupter
button by turning it counter-
clockwise as far as it will go.
• Release the button to interrupt aerosol generation.
