Changing The Filter; Cleaning And Disinfection - Beurer IH 60 Instrucciones De Uso

Important
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and drops
to be used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly unsuit-
able for inhalation using a nebuliser. These additions are
often viscous and can impair the correct functioning of
the device and therefore the effectiveness of the applica-
tion in the long-term. For individuals with a hypersensitive
bronchial system, medications containing essential oils
may under certain conditions cause an acute bronchos-
pasm (a sudden cramp-like restriction of the bronchi with
shortness of breath). Consult your doctor or pharmacist
in relation to this matter.
6.6 Stopping inhalation
Once the mist is only coming out in an irregular flow or
if the sound changes when inhaling, you can stop the
treatment.
• Switch off the nebuliser after treatment using the On/
Off switch [1] and disconnect it from the mains.
• Place the atomiser [9] back in its holder [4] after the
treatment.
6.7 Cleaning
See "Cleaning and disinfection" on page 20.

7. Changing the filter

In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be re-
placed after approx. 100 operating hours or one year.
Please check the air filter regularly (after 10–12 nebulisa-
tion procedures). Replace the used filter if it is very dirty
or clogged. If the filter has become damp, it must also be
exchanged for a new filter.
Important
• Do not attempt to clean the used filter and reuse it.
• Only use the manufacturer's original filter, otherwise
your nebuliser may become damaged and sufficiently
effective treatment cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not repair or maintain the air filter while it is in use.
• Never operate the device without a filter.
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
Important
• First switch the device off and disconnect it from the
mains.
• Allow the device to cool down.
1. Pull off the filter cap [5]
towards the front.
Note
If the filter remains in the device after the cap has been
removed, take the filter out of the device, e.g. with twee-
zers or similar.
2. Re-insert the filter cap [5] with a new filter.
3. Ensure that it is securely in place.

8. Cleaning and disinfection

Atomiser and accessories
Warning
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid
health risks.
• The atomiser [9] and accessories are designed for mul-
tiple use. Please note that different areas of application
involve different requirements in terms of cleaning and
hygienic preparation.
Notes:
• Do not clean the atomiser or the accessories mechani-
cally using a brush or similar device, as this could cause
irreparable damage and it will mean that the best treat-
ment results can no longer be guaranteed.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional require-
ments in terms of the hygienic preparation required
(hand care, handling of medication/inhalation solutions)
for high-risk groups (e.g. patients with cystic fibrosis).
• Ensure thorough drying after each cleaning or disin-
fection process. Residual moisture or wetness can
represent an increased risk of bacterial growth.
