TREATMENT OF THE WHOLE RESPIRATORY TRACT
1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR RF6 BASIC
Prior to use, the nebuliser and the accessories must be
cleaned according to the instructions provided in the
"Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation" paragraph.
Remove the unit from the carrying bag (13) before use!
1 Plug the power cord (7) into the socket (6) at the rear of
the unit and plug the power cord into a power socket
corresponding to the voltage of the unit.
2 Carefully wash your hands before going ahead with
inhalation therapy.
3 Open the nebuliser by turning the upper part (9c)
anticlockwise.
4 Pour the drug prescribed by the physician into the lower
part (9a). Close the nebuliser by turning the upper part
(9c) clockwise.
5 Connect the accessories as shown in the "Assembly
diagram". The upper cap (9d) provided with your
"RF6 basic
nebuliser makes it possible to deliver the
2
medication in 2 modes.
Standard mode FIg. A1
For an excellent delivery with a minimum waste of
medication.
High speed mode FIg. A2
For a quicker application.
6 Sit comfortably, holding the nebuliser in your hands, place the mouthpiece over your mouth or use
the mask. Start the unit by means of switch (5) and breathe in and out deeply.

8 Clean the nebuliser and the accessories according to the instructions provided in the "Cleaning,
disinfection and sterilisation" paragraph.
9 It may happen that after a treatment session visible humidity deposits form in the tube (8): disconnect
the tube from the nebuliser and let it dry using the compressor air flow, as this prevents mould from
growing in the tube.
2. CLEANING, DISINFECTION AND STERILISATION
