3.2. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
- This product should not encourage self-medication or adjustment of
your treatment.
- Check the assembly of the chamber (see pictures on page 2) and the
correct operation of the valves.
Note: The air intake valve is already positioned when purchased.
- Check that the chamber is not broken or damaged.
- It Is important to install the chamber calmly, crying (in the case of
toddlers in particular) decreases lung deposit and poor sealing of
the mask on the face significantly reduces the amount of medication
delivered.
3.3. USE
- Install properly or correctly install your child in a sitting position. The
child must not have a soother in their mouth.
- Shake the inhalation spray, remove protective cap (refer to instructions
of the medication to be administered) and insert the inhalation spray
in the lower opening of the inhalation chamber.
- For 0-9 months and 9 months to 6 years, place the facemask over the
nose and mouth and ensure an effective seal.
- For 6 years and over, put the mouthpiece into mouth.
- The chamber must be maintained in a horizontal position.
- Press the Inhaler® to release a dose into the inhalation chamber and
hold this position while breathing in for about 15 seconds.
- Wait at least 30 seconds before administering a second puff, if
necessary (Be sure to respect your doctors prescription).
- Avoid breathing quickly or talking while using the inhalation chamber.
To avoid the appearance of redness and irritation on the skin, it is
recommended to rinse the face after the administration of treatments
such as corticosteroids.

3.4. EXPLANATION OF THE INHALATION PROCESS
B
1. A dose of medicine is released into the first compartment of the
chamber.
2. INHALATION: A puff of product passes into the second compartment
during inhalation by the child and is absorbed into the lungs.
3. EXHALATION: When the child exhales, the air exits through the fresh
air intake valve without damaging the rest of the dose of suspended
medication.
CAUTION: The central valve separates the two compartments and
enables airflow from compartment A to B and not the reverse. Check
the correct positioning of the latter.
4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- It is important to clean the various parts of the chamber at least once
a week.
- Dismantle the various parts of the Inhaler® chamber (when handling
valves, hold by the centre rather than the edges). Hand wash the
various parts in lukewarm water with a little mild detergent. Rinse
thoroughly and air dry at room temperature, without wiping.
- Once the chamber is dry, store in a dust-free location.
- If the chamber is not in use for an extended period, we recommend
you clean it before the next use to remove any dust.
- Change the chamber if you notice that it is damaged or broken.
