1.4 Treatment of babies, children and anyone
who requires 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. In-
dividuals in this group often underestimate the hazards in-
volved (e.g. strangulation with the power cord or the connec-
tion tubing), thus resulting in a risk of injury.
The product contains small parts. Small parts can block the air-
ways and lead to a choking hazard. Therefore, make sure that
you always keep the compressor, the nebuliser and the ac-
cessories out of the reach of babies and infants.
Special masks may be obtained for treating babies and infants
who are not yet able to inhale using the mouthpiece.
The nebulisers are only designed for patients who are able to
breathe by themselves and are conscious. This is the only way
to ensure effective treatment and avoid a choking hazard.
1.5 Treatment of patients with a surgically
created opening in the windpipe
(tracheostoma)
Tracheostomised patients cannot use the mouthpiece to inhale
and therefore need the PARI TRACHEO SET with a special
tracheostoma mask for an inhalation session. If a tracheo-
stoma mask is used, make sure that the nebuliser cap is open
during inhalation. This ensures unobstructed expiration and
avoids the risk of shortness of breath.
