IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1
Read these instructions for use and the
instructions for use of the accompanying
accessories completely before using for
the first time. Keep them safely so that you
can refer to them again later. If these
instructions for use are not followed, inju-
ries or damage to the product cannot be
ruled out.
You should have a medical examination
before treating illnesses.
Organisation of warnings
In these instructions for use, safety-
related warnings are organised in hazard
levels:
- The signal word CAUTION is used to
indicate dangers which may result in
slight to moderate injuries or impair
treatment if precautionary measures are
not taken.
- The signal word NOTE is used to indi-
cate general precautionary measures
for working with the product which
should be followed to avoid damaging
the product.
Handling the nebuliser
system
Check the nebuliser system before every
application. Replace all broken, mis-
shapen and heavily discoloured parts.
Damaged parts can impair the function of
the nebuliser system and thus also affect
treatment.
Do not operate the nebuliser system if the
power adapter is visibly damaged, since
otherwise there is a danger from contact
with live parts (e.g., electric shock).

In this case, follow the instructions below:
- Always remove the power adapter from
the socket to ensure that the power is
completely cut off.
- Never remove the power adapter from
the socket with wet hands. There may
be a danger of electric shock.
- Do not allow pets (e.g., rodents) near
the cables.
- Do not use the nebuliser system in
areas where there is a risk of explosion
or in the presence of gases that promote
combustion (e.g., oxygen, nitrous oxide,
flammable anaesthetics).
- Do not carry out an inhalation session
while you are driving a motor vehicle
(risk of accident).
Treatment of babies, children
and individuals requiring
assistance
- Babies, children and anyone who
requires assistance must be supervised
constantly by an adult during inhalation
therapy. This is the only way to ensure
safe and effective treatment. These indi-
viduals often underestimate the hazards
associated with the equipment (e.g. risk
of strangulation with the cable), and this
can result in risk of injury.
- The product contains small parts. Small
parts can block the airways and pose a
choking hazard. Therefore, be sure to
keep them out of the reach of children at
all times.
- The nebuliser handsets are only suit-
able for use by patients who can
breathe unassisted and are conscious.
This is the only way to ensure effective
treatment and avoid a choking hazard.
