Before use, check that the device is functioning correctly. To do this, switch on the nebu-
lizer (including the connected atomizer, but without any medication) for a short time, e.g.
for 5 – 10 seconds. If the atomizer [10] expels air, the device is functioning correctly.
1 Inserting the Nozzle Attachment
• Make sure the on/off switch [3] is in the off position.
• To open the atomizer [10], twist the upper section counter-clockwise against the
medicine container [12]. Place the nozzle attachment [11] in the medicine container
[12].
2 Filling the Atomizer
• Pour an isotonic saline solution or the medicine directly into the
medicine container [12]. Do not overfill! The maximum recom-
mended fill level is 6 ml !
• If the required volume of medication is less than 2 ml, top up this
quantity to at least 4 ml using an isotonic saline solution. Viscous
medicines may also require dilution. Strictly follow your physi-
cian's instruction as to dosage of medication and inhalation time.
3 Closing the Atomizer
• To close the atomizer [10], twist the upper section clockwise against the medicine
container [12]. Ensure the parts are connected correctly.
4 Connecting the Accessories to the Atomizer
• Connect the required accessory part (mouthpiece [13], adult mask [14], child mask
[15] or nosepiece [16]) to the atomizer [10].
• Before commencing treatment, pull the atomizer upwards out of its holder [8].
• Start the nebulizer using the on/off switch [3].
• A flow of spray from the atomizer indicates that the device is functioning properly.
5 Treatment

• Inhale the nebulized medicine deeply.
NOTE: During treatment, hold the atomizer straight (vertical), otherwise the atomiza-
tion does not work and might impair the treatment
What Special Steps Should be Taken for Babies and Children?
