Application area
This nebuliser is an inhalation device for atomising liquids and liquid medication (aerosols) and for the treatment of the upper and lower airways.
By nebulising and inhaling the medication prescribed/ recommended by your doctor, you can prevent diseases affecting the airways, or in the case that you contract such an illness, you can alleviate symptoms and speed up your recovery. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for further information about the potential applications.
The device is suitable for domestic use. Inhaler medication should only be used following instructions to do so from a doctor. Ensure you are calm and relaxed when inhaling the medication and breathe slowly and deeply to ensure that the medication reaches right down to the lower bronchi. Breathe out normally. The device does not need to be calibrated.
Once it has been properly prepared, the device can be used again. Preparation involves replacing all the accessories, including the atomiser and air filter, and disinfecting the surface of the device using a standard disinfectant. Please note that all accessories should be replaced if the device is used by more than one person.
We recommend that you replace the atomiser and other accessories after one year.

Operation

Important

• For hygiene reasons, it is essential to clean the atomiser [9] and the accessories after each treatment and to disinfect them after the last treatment of the day.
• The accessories may only be used by one person; use by several people is not recommended.
• If the treatment involves inhaling several different medications one after the other, please be aware that the atomiser [9] must be rinsed under warm tap water following every usage. See “Cleaning and disinfection” on page 21.
• Please observe the notes on changing the filter in these instructions for use.
• Check that hose connectors are firmly attached to the nebuliser [6] and the atomiser [9] before each use of the device.
• Before use, check the device is working correctly by briefly switching on the nebuliser (together with the connected atomiser, but without medication). If air comes out of the atomiser [9], the device is working.

6.1 Inserting the atomiser insert

• Open the atomiser [9] by twisting the top antic lock wise against the medication container [10]. Place the atomiser insert [11] into the medication container [10].
• Ensure that the cone for administering medication fitswell on the cone for the air duct inside the atomiser [9].

6.2 Filling the atomiser

• Fill with an isotonic saline solution or pour the medication directly into the medication container [10]. Avoid overfilling. The maximum recommended filling quantity is 6 ml.
• Use medication only as instructed by your doctor and ask about the appropriate inhalation period and quantity for you.
• If the prescribed quantity of medication is less than 2 ml, top this up to at least 2 ml with isotonic saline solution. Dilution is also necessary with viscous medications. Here too, please observe the instructions of your doctor.

6.3 Closing the atomiser

• Close the atomiser [9] by twisting the top clockwise against the medication container [10]. Ensure that the connection is correct.

6.4 Connecting accessories to the atomiser

• Connect the atomiser [9] to the desired accessory (mouthpiece [12], adult mask [13], children’s mask [14] or nosepiece [15]).

In addition to the accompanying adult [13] and children’s mask (from 2 years of age) [14], you also have the option of using baby mask (from ages 0-3 years) with your nebuliser. The baby mask is not included in delivery with the IH 60. You can find an overview of all replacement items in chapter „12. Replacement parts and wearing parts“.

Note
The most effective form of nebulisation is by using the mouthpiece. Nebulisation using a mask is only recommended if it is not possible to use a mouthpiece (e.g. for children who are not yet able to inhale medication using a mouthpiece). If you are using the  dult mask [13], you can secure it to your head with the adult mask strap. There is also a strap for the children’s mask [14]. When using a mask to inhale, take care to ensure the mask fits well and the eyes are unobstructed.

• Before the treatment, pull the atomiser upwards out of the holder [4].
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch [1].
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that the device is operating correctly.

6.5 Treatment

• When inhaling, sit upright and relaxed at a table and not in an armchair to avoid compressing the airways and therefore impairing the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Breathe in the atomised medication deeply.

Important
The device is not suitable for continuous operation; after 30 minutes of operation it must be switched off for 30 minutes.

Note
During the treatment, hold the atomiser straight (vertically), otherwise the atomisation will not work and faultless functionality is not guaranteed. Depending on the battery charge status and accessory used, the inhalation time stated may vary.

Important
Essential oils, cough syrups, gargling solutions and drops to be used as a rub or in a steam bath are wholly unsuitable 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 application in the long- term.
For individuals with a hypersensitive bronchial system, medications containing essential oils may under certain conditions cause an acute bronchospasm (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 21.

Changing the filter

In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be replaced after approx. 100 operating hours or one year. Please check the air filter regularly (after 10–12 nebulisation 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 tweezers or similar.

2. Re-insert the filter cap [5] with a new filter.

3. Ensure that it is securely in place.

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 multiple 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 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 additional requirements 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 disinfection process. Residual moisture or wetness can represent an increased risk of bacterial growth.

Preparation

• Immediately after each treatment, all parts of the atomiser [9] and the accessories used must be cleaned of residual medication and contamination.
• Remove the mouth piece [12], the mask [13, 14] or the nosepiece [15] from the atomiser.
• Disassemble the nosepiece if you have used it with the comfort attachment.
• Dismantle the atomiser by twisting the top anticlockwise against the medication container [10].
• Remove the atomiser insert [11] from the medication container [10].
• Reassembly is carried out in reverse order.

Cleaning
Important
The device must be switched off, disconnected from the mains and allowed to cool down each time before cleaning.
The atomiser and the accessories used such as the mouthpiece, mask, etc. must be washed 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 removed. 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

• Ensure that no water gets inside the device.
• Do not clean the device or accessories 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.
• If liquid penetrates the device this could cause damage 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 ensure proper treatment.
To do so, proceed as follows:

• Remove the compressed air hose [8] from the atomiser [9].
• The hose must remain connected to the nebuliser [6].
• Operate the nebuliser until the moisture is removed by the air passing through.
• In the event of heavy contamination, replace the hose.

Disinfection
Please carefully observe the points below when disinfecting your atomiser and accessories. We recommend disinfecting the individual parts on a daily basis after the last usage as a minimum measure. (All you need for this is a little white vinegar and distilled  water.)

• First, clean the atomiser and accessories as described in the “Cleaning” section.
• Place the disassembled atomiser, mouthpiece and nosepiece in boiling water for 5 minutes.
• For the remaining accessories, use a vinegar solution consisting of ¼ vinegar and ¾ distilled water. Make sure that the volume is sufficient to fully submerse the parts, such as the atomiser, mask and mouthpiece, in the solution.
• Leave the parts in the vinegar solution for 30 minutes.
• Rinse the parts with water and dry them carefully with a soft cloth.

Important
Do not boil or autoclave the compressed air hose or the masks.

• Put the parts together again when they are completely dry and place them in a dry, sealed container.
  Note

• Please ensure that the parts are completely dried after cleaning, otherwise the risk of bacterial growth is increased.

• Use cold disinfection solution in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Drying

• Place the individual parts on a clean, dry and absorbent surface and leave them to dry completely (at least 4 hours).

Durability of materials

• As with any plastic parts, atomisers and their accessories are affected by a certain amount of wear and tear when used and hygienically prepared on a frequent basis. Over time, this can lead to a change in the aerosol, which can have a negative effect on the  efficiency of the treatment. We therefore recommend that you replace the atomiser and other accessories after a year.
• The following point should be observed when selecting the cleaning product or disinfectant: only use a mild cleaning product or disinfectant in the concentration and volume prescribed by the manufacturer.

Storage

• Do not store in damp conditions (such as in a bathroom) and do not transport with any damp items.
• When storing and transporting, protect from prolonged direct sunlight.
• The accessories can be stowed securely in the accessory compartment. Store the device in a dry place, ideally in the original packaging.

Disposal

For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the device in the household waste.
**** Please dispose of the device in accordance with EC Directive – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). If you have any questions, please contact the local authorities responsible for waste disposal.

The empty, completely flat rechargeable batteries must be disposed of through specially designated collection boxes, recycling points or electronics retailers. You are legally required to dispose of the rechargeable batteries.

Troubleshooting

medication
in the atomiser. Minimum: 2 ml, Maximum: 6 ml.
2.Check nozzle for blockages.
Clean nozzle if necessary (e.g. by rinsing out). Then start using the atomiser again.
IMPORTANT: Carefully pierce the fine holes from the underside of the nozzle only.
3.Atomiser not held vertically.
4.Unsuitable medication fluid added
for nebulisation (e.g. too viscous). The medication fluid should be prescribed by the doctor.
The output is too low.| Kinked hose, clogged filter, too much inhalation solution.
What med- ications are suitable for inhaling?| Please consult your doctor in relation to this matter.
As a rule, all medication that is suitable and approved for device inhalation can be inhaled.
There is inha- lation solution residue in the atomiser.| This is normal and is due to technical reasons. Stop inhalation once the atomiser starts to make a notably different sound.
What should be taken into account when using the device with infants and children?| 1.On infants and children, the mask should cover the mouth and nose to ensure effective inhalation.
2.On children, the mask should also cover both the nose and mouth. It is not a good idea to carry out nebulisation on someone who is sleeping, as in this case not enough of the medication will reach the lungs.
Note: Inhalation should only be carried out under the supervision of an adult and with their assistance and the child should not be left alone.
Inhalation us- ing the mask takes longer.| This is due to technical reasons You breathe less medication per breath through the holes of the mask than via the mouthpiece. The aerosol is mixed with ambient air via the holes.
Why should the atomiser be replaced regularly?| There are two reasons for this:
1.To ensure a therapeutically effective particle spectrum, the nozzle hole must not exceed a specific diameter. Due to mechanical and thermal stresses, the plastic is subject to a certain degree of wear. The atomiser insert [11] is particularly sensitive. This can also alter the composition of the aerosol droplets, which directly affects the effectiveness of the treatment.
2.Regularly changing the atomiser is also recommended for hygiene reasons
Should each person have their own atomiser?| Yes, this is absolutely essential for hygiene reasons
