MAINTENANCE
Atomiser and atomiser set
Warning
Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to
avoid health risks.
• The atomiser
and the rest of the atomiser

set are intended for multiple use. Please note
that different areas of application involve dif-
ferent requirements in terms of cleaning and
hygienic preparation.
Notice
• Do not clean the atomiser or the atomiser set
mechanically using a brush or similar device,
as this could cause irreparable damage and it
will mean that the best treatment results can no
longer be guaranteed.
• Please consult your doctor about the addition-
al requirements in terms of the hygienic prepa-
ration needed (hand care, handling of medica-
tion/inhalation solutions) for high-risk groups
(e.g. patients with cystic fibrosis).
• Ensure thorough drying after each cleaning
and disinfection process. Residual moisture
or wetness can represent an increased risk of
bacterial growth.
Preparation
• Immediately after each treatment, all parts of
the atomiser
and the rest of the atomiser set

used must be cleaned of medication residues
and contamination.
• To do this, dismantle the atomiser
individual parts.

cleaned with hot but not boiling water after each
use. Dry the parts carefully using a soft cloth. Put
the parts together again when they are completely
dry and place them in a dry, sealed container or
disinfect them.
When cleaning, ensure that any residue is re-
moved. Never use any substances for cleaning
that could potentially be toxic if they came into
contact with the skin or mucous membranes, or if
they were swallowed or inhaled.
Use a soft, dry cloth and non-abrasive cleaning
products to clean the device.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and
never submerge the device in water.
Important
• Make sure that no water gets inside the device!
• Do not clean the device or atomiser set in the
dishwasher!
• Do not touch the device with wet hands when
it is plugged in and do not allow water to spray
on the device. Only operate the device if it is
completely dry.
• Do not spray any liquid into the vents! If liquid
penetrates the device this could cause dam-
age to the electrics or other nebuliser parts and
lead to a malfunction.

Condensation, hose care
Condensation may form in the hose depending on
the ambient conditions. It is essential to remove
the moisture to prevent bacterial growth and en-
sure proper treatment. To do so, proceed as fol-
lows:
• Disconnect the hose
• The hose must remain in the nebuliser
• Operate the nebuliser until the moisture is re-
moved by the air passing through.
• In the event of heavy contamination, replace
the hose.
