3.2 Performing treatment
All the safety instructions and warnings in these instructions for use must have been
read and understood before any treatment is carried out.
Proceed as follows in order to carry out the treatment:
• Before starting the treatment, ensure that all parts are firmly connected to each other.
• Make sure that the expiratory resistance is adjusted correctly [see: Adjusting expiratory re-
sistance, page 12].
If the breath resistance seems too high or too low to you during the therapy session,
stop the session and consult your doctor or therapist.
When using without a pressure gauge
• Make sure that the connecting element is closed securely by the cap.
When using a pressure gauge
NOTE
Impaired treatment due to damaged pressure gauge
If the pressure gauge is damaged, the measurement results displayed may be incorrect.
• If the pressure gauge has been dropped or suffered a similar impact, contact the manu-
facturer or distributor.
• During the therapy session, monitor the expiratory resistance displayed on the pressure
gauge. If this is constantly different from the prescribed value, the expiratory resistance
must be adjusted [see: Adjusting expiratory resistance, page 12].
PEP therapy
• Block your nose with the nose clip.
• Hold the mouthpiece between your teeth, close your lips tightly around it and breathe in
slowly and deeply.
• Exhale through the mouthpiece.
The exhaled air should pass through the hole in the PEP S adjusting ring.
• Cough to clear any secretion that is loosened during the treatment.
For reasons of hygiene, avoid coughing into the PARI PEP S System.
• Continue the PEP therapy session for the period recommended by your doctor or physio-
therapist.
