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 your doctor’s instructions. 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 fine, lower bronchi. Breathe out normally.
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. The device does not need to be calibrated.

Neither are included in delivery of the IH 26 Kids [not available = n/a]. Nevertheless, the appropriate use of the nasal douche, nosepiece, etc. is described below. You can find an overview of all replacement items in section “12. Replacement parts and wearing parts”.

Initial use

Setting up the device
Take the device out of the packaging.
Place the device on a flat surface.
Make sure that the vents are free from obstructions.

Before using the device for the first time
Note
Clean and disinfect the atomiser and accessories before using them for the first time. See “Cleaning and disinfection” on page 20.

• The adapter [17] with the Removable “giraffe” [16] can optionally be attached to the atomiser.

• Connect the compressed air hose [7] to the bottom of the medication container [11].

• Connect the other end of the compressed air hose [7] to the nebuliser hose connection [4] by turning it slightly.

Mains connection
The device must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.

• Insert the mains plug of the mains connector cable [3] into a suitable socket.
• To connect to the mains, fully insert the mains plug into the socket.

Note

• Ensure that there is a mains socket close to the setup area.
• Arrange the mains connector cable so that no-one will trip over it.
• To disconnect the nebuliser from the mains after inhalation, first switch off the device and then pull the mains plug out of the socket.

Operation

Important

• For hygiene reasons, it is essential to clean the atomiser [8] 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 [8] must be rinsed under warm tap water following every usage. See “Cleaning and disinfection” on page 20.
• Please observe the notes on changing the filter in these instructions for use.
• Check that hose connectors are firmly attached to the nebuliser [4] and the atomiser [8] 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 [8], the device is working.

6.1 Installing the atomiser insert

• Open the atomiser [8] by twisting the top anticlockwise against the medication container [11]. Place the atomiser insert [9] into the medication container [11].
• Ensure that the cone for administering medication fits well on the cone for the air duct inside the atomiser [8].

6.2 Filling the atomiser

• Fill with an isotonic saline solution or pour the medication directly into the medication container [11]. Avoid overfilling. The maximum recommended filling quantity is 8 ml.
• Use medication only as instructed by your doctor and ask about the appropriate inhalation period and quantity for you. 11
• If the prescribed quantity of medication is less than 2 ml, top this up to at least 4 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 [8] by twisting the top clockwise against the medication container [11]. Ensure that the connection is correct.

6.4 Inserting the valve

1. Press the blue valve [10] into the opening intended for this purpose on the upper side of the atomiser [8].

Note
The valve system ensures better delivery of the medication to the lungs. Only use the valve [10] with the mouthpiece [12], never with the masks [13, 14] or the nosepiece [n/a.].

6.5 Connecting accessories to the atomiser

• Attach the desired accessory to the atomiser [8]. The mouthpiece [12] or nosepiece [n/a] can be directly attached. The children’s mask [13] and baby mask [14] must be attached to the atomiser using the angled fitting [15].

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 using a mouthpiece).
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 [8] upwards out of the holder [6].
• Start the nebuliser using the On/Off switch [2].
• Spray mist pouring out of the atomiser indicates that the device is operating correctly.

6.6 Treatment

• Hold or place the baby or infant to be treated in the most upright position possible. Do not use the device when the baby or infant to be treated is lying down.
• When inhaling, older children and adults should 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.

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 additives 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.

6.7 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 [2] and disconnect it from the mains.
• Place the atomiser [8] back in its holder [6] after the treatment.

6.8 Nasal douche
The nasal douche is not included in delivery [not available = n/a] with the IH 26 Kids.
You can find an overview of all replacement items in section “12. Replacement parts and wearing parts”.

19 Cover
20 Collection container for nasal secretion
21 Saline container
22 Cover hole (Starting the application)

You can use the nasal douche to clean your nasal cavities. The nasal douche creates a fine jet of liquid for treating respiratory tract problems or for moistening the nasal mucous membranes.
We recommend using the nasal douche for colds, dry- ness inside the nose, dust exposure, pollen allergies, chronic inflammation of the sinuses or upon the advice of your doctor.
Warning
• Do not use the nasal douche in combination with other medication or essential oils.

Important

• Only use the nasal douche with isotonic saline solutions.
• Replace the nasal douche after a year.

The maximum volume of the nasal douche is 10 ml. If you are unsure about the correct dilution of the saline solution, please consult your pharmacist.

1.   Twist the cover [19] 90° anticlockwise and remove it in an
upward direction.
2. Lift the collection container [20] out.|
---|---
3.   Fill the saline container [21] with saline solution.|
4.   Place the collection container [20] into the saline container [21].
5.   Place the cover [19] on the saline container [21]. Twist the
cover  [19] in a clockwise direction until it clicks firmly into
place.|
6.   Connect the compressed air hose [7] to the saline container [21] from below.|
7.   Position the cover [19] carefully inside one of your nostrils.
Breathe through the nose.|
8.  Press the On/Off switch [2] on the back of the nebuliser. To start the application, place one finger over the cover hole [22] on the container.
Note During the application, breathe slowly and evenly through the nose. Tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction to the nostril being treated so that the saline solution can flow deep into the nose.
9.  To pause or stop the application, take your finger off the cover hole [22] on the saline container [21].|
10. Once your nose feels clear again, you can stop the application. The application should be stopped at the
latest once the maximum filling quantity has been used.

6.10 Cleaning
See “Cleaning and disinfection” on page 20.

Changing the filter

In normal operating conditions, the air filter must be replaced after approx. 500 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 [8] 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 [8] and the accessories used must be cleaned of residual medication and contamination.
• To do this, dismantle the atomiser [8], the masks [13, 14] and the nasal douche [n/a] into their individual parts.
• Remove the mouthpiece [12], masks [13, 14] or the nosepiece [n/a] from the atomiser.
• Dismantle the nosepiece [n/a] if you have used it with the comfort attachment.
• Dismantle the atomiser by twisting the top anticlockwise against the medication container [11].
• Remove the atomiser insert [9] from the medication container [11].
• Remove the valve [10] by pulling it out of the atomiser [8].
• 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. Do not spray any liquid into the vents! 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 [8].
• The hose must remain connected to the nebuliser [4].
• 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 [8] and nasal douche [n/a], the mouthpiece [12], the silicone masks [13, 14] and the disassembled nosepiece [n/a] 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 parts, such as the PVC masks [n/a] and hose [7], in the solution. Accessories that can be boiled can also be disinfected in this way.
• 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 PVC masks [n/a].

• 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.

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.

Troubleshooting

The atomiser produces no or too little
aerosol.| 1.  Too much or too little medication in the atomiser.
Minimum: 2 ml, Maximum: 8 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.
The atomiser produces no or too little
aerosol.| 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 medications 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 inhalation 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 very useful to carry out nebulisation next to 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.
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 [9] 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.
