IMPORTANT CAUTIONARY NOTES

• Before using the unit for the first time, and periodically throughout its life, check the integrity of its structure
and the power cable, making sure that there is no damage; if it is damaged, do not insert the plug and take
the product immediately to an authorized FLAEM technical assistance centre or to your local dealer. Take
the appliance immediately to an authorised service centre or your dealer.
• This unit is especially suitable for administering drugs in solution form and can also work with drugs in sus-
pension form. However, in the case of some glycol containing drugs the instructions for use advise against
using ultrasound devices, since these drugs cannot be nebulised with them.
• Interactions: the materials used that come into contact with drugs have been tested with a wide range of
medications. However, due to the variety and continuous evolution of medication, the possibility of a chemi-
cal interaction cannot be excluded. Once opened, the medication should be used as soon as possible, and
prolonged contact between drug and nebuliser chamber should be avoided.
• The appliance is not suitable for essential oils or balsamic substances.
• Do not run the appliance if it does not contain any solution.
• If the upper part is not correctly fitted in, the appliance does not work; If the upper part is removed during
the operation, the appliance switches off automatically.
To start it again place the upper part it its housing and press button (A1).
• Use the unit with a dose of at least 4 ml to be nebulised; if necessary, dilute the drug with physiological solu-
tion.
• It is normal for there to be a non-nebulised drug residual of around 0.5 – 0.8 ml at the end of treatment; there-
fore, when nebulisation becomes discontinuous, stop the treatment as it is pointless to insist on nebulising
the remainder, thus causing the unit to overheat.
• Always keep the unit in an upright position to prevent the medication from spilling out.
• Do not use the tubes and the cords of the device for purposes other than those specified as they may cause
strangulation hazard; utmost attention must be paid to children and persons with special needs; usually,
such persons are not capable of assessing the hazard correctly.
• The average service life of the device is about 600 hours.
• Children and disabled persons should always use the unit under strict supervision of an adult who has read
this manual.
• Several parts of the device are small enough to be swallowed by children; therefore keep the device out of
reach of children.
• The unit should not be used in the presence of anaesthetic mixture inflammable with air, oxygen or nitrous
