Cleaning and Disinfection

DANGER
• Never touch the unit, including the power cord or plug, with wet hands while it is plugged
in. This can cause an electric shock.
• Before you clean the unit, always switch it off, unplug it and let it cool off.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of increased bacterial growth, infection, illness, injury from contamina-
tion or other health risks always follow all hygiene when using this unit. Unplug the unit be-
fore disinfection or cleaning the unit.
• For hygienic reasons, the atomizer [10] and the accessories must be cleaned after each
treatment and disinfected after the last treatment of the day. Prior to initial operation, the
atomizer [10] and accessories must be cleaned and disinfected as well.
• Ensure that all parts are thoroughly dried, following every cleaning and disinfection. Re-
sidual moisture or water droplets can result in an increased risk of bacterial growth and
therefore represent a risk for your health.
• If several different medicines are to be inhaled in succession during therapeutic use, the
atomizer [10] must be rinsed under warm tap water after each use before using different
medication.
• The atomizer and accessories must not be mechanically cleaned with brushes or the like
as this can cause irreparable damage and may render the treatment ineffective.
• For additional requirements regarding the necessary hygienic preparations (hand washing,
handling of medicines or inhalation solutions) in high-risk groups (e.g. cystic fibrosis pa-
tients), contact your physician.
• When cleaning, ensure that all residues are removed. Never use any substances that may
be poisonous upon contact with the skin or mucous membranes, or when swallowed or
inhaled. When in doubt, contact your physician for advice.
NOTICE
:
• When disinfecting the atomizer, mouthpiece and nosepiece with the "Boiling water
method", avoid that the parts come into contact with the hot base of the pot.
• The face masks and air hose must not be placed in hot water!
• Ensure that no water penetrates inside the unit! Never immerse the unit in water or any
other liquid, otherwise liquid can enter it and cause damage.
• Do not put the device or accessories in a dishwasher, washing machine or tumble dryer.
• Do not use any aggressive solvents, cleaning agents, detergents or any other strong
chemicals to clean the device.
• Unclogging the small holes of the nozzle should only be done carefully from the inside out
using a needle or pin. Replace if necessary.
