voltage is right.
8) Switch on the device pressing the ON/OFF key. Make sure that the warning light switches on (blue
colour).
During inhalation, the device must compulsorily remain in vertical position: this assures its correct
operation, as well as the maximum efficacy of therapy. It is possible to control the speed the pharma-
ceutical is nebulized by turning the flow control (MIN-MAX).
It is advisable, especially for small children, to use the minimum inhalation setting in order to encou-
rage the deposit of the pharmaceutical in the airways.
Immediately interrupt the treatment if you feel unease during the aerosol-therapy.
9) The device is equipped with an automatic stop device that disables the device when the drug is almost
finished and after operating 13 minutes. Such device has been designed to protect the internal mecha-
nism of the unit. You can switch off the device in any moment by pressing the ON/OFF switch.
IMPORTANT:
As with most equipment for aerosol therapy, at the end of the inhalation treatment, a certain amount of
the pharmaceutical will remain in the nebulization ampoule: this is perfectly normal. This amount of
pharmaceutical, also know as residual volume, cannot be nebulized.
10)Let the device cool down for some minutes, turn the device upside down or use an absorbing cloth
to remove the residual liquid and perform the cleaning procedures according to paragraph “Cleaning
and maintenance”.
n REPLACEMENT OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL AMPOULE
It is advisable to replace the pharmaceutical-holding ampoule after each inhalation treatments in order
to avoid deposits or chemical reactions caused by medicinal products. Within the pack you will find five
ampoules which you can use for replacement purposes. Other ampoules can be purchased from your
retailer.
n MICROBIC CONTAMINATION
In the presence of conditions carrying the risk of microbial infection and contamination, personal use of
the accessories only is advised (always consult a doctor).
