1. Getting to know your device

Dear customer,

Thank you for choosing one of our products. Our name stands for high-quality, thoroughly tested products for applications in the areas of heat, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, body temperature, pulse, gentle therapy, massage and air.

Please read these instructions for use carefully and keep them for later use, be sure to make them accessible to other users and observe the information they contain.

With kind regards,

Your Beurer team

Application area

This nebuliser is an ultrasonic atomiser for treating the upper and lower airways.

The aerosol generated by the high-frequency vibration has a predominant droplet size of 1 – 5 m and is therefore very well suited for transporting the nebulised active agents directly to the 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 inhalation at home and can also be used on multiple occasions in one day when on the move. 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.

Once it has been properly prepared, the device can be used again. Preparation involves replacing all the accessories, including the 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.

• Disconnect the mains part [17] from the power supply.

Carry out cleaning

• See 10. "Cleaning and disinfection".

8. Inhaling correctly

Important

• Do not tilt the device or position it at an angle.
• 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. Such additives are often viscous and can impair the correct functioning of the device and 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!

Breathing technique

• It is important to use the correct breathing technique to ensure that the particles are distributed as widely as possible across the airways. To ensure that the particles reach your airways and lungs, you must breathe in slowly and deeply, then hold your breath briefly (5 to 10 seconds) and then breathe out quickly.
• Nebulisers should only be used for the treatment of respiratory diseases after consultation with your doctor. He or she will advise you about the selection, dosage and use of medications suitable for inhalation therapy.
• Certain medications are only available with a prescription.

When inhaling through the mouthpiece

• Use the mouthpiece if you are suffering from a condition of the lower airways, such as a cough or a bronchial infection.
• Sit up straight.
• Connect the hose [16] to the accessory connector [1]. Then connect the mouthpiece [15] to the hose.
• Place your lips around the mouthpiece.
• Switch on the device by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth and breathe out through your nose. After breathing in, hold your breath briefly to increase the effectiveness of the therapy. Remain calm and relaxed during the treatment. Take breaths at regular intervals and do not breathe too fast. If you want to pause the inhalation for a short time, switch off the device by pressing the ON/OFF button and take out the mouthpiece.

When inhaling using the mask

• The inhalation mask is suitable for the treatment of the nasopharynx.
• Sit up straight.
• Connect the hose [16] to the accessory connector [1]. Now connect the connector [12] to the hose and the mask to the connector.

- Hold the mask pressed gently against your nose; the mask must cover your mouth and nose without squashing them.

- Take deep and slow breaths in and out through your nose. After breathing in, hold your breath briefly to increase the effectiveness of the therapy. Remain calm and relaxed during the treatment. Take breaths at regular intervals and do not breathe too fast. If you want to pause the inhalation briefly, switch off the device by pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the mask from your face for a moment. To continue with the inhalation, place the mask back over your nose and mouth and switch on the device by pressing the ON/OFF button.

Replacing the medication container

The medication container should be replaced following usage every time inhalation treatment is carried out. This is to avoid deposits and chemical reactions due to medical products. In the package you will find 12 medication containers which can be used to replace used containers. Additional containers can be obtained from the Customer Services address provided.

9. Changing the filter

Check the filter regularly (e.g. after every tenth use). Replace the used filter if it is very dirty or blocked (but at the latest after 6 month). If the filter has become wet, it must also be replaced with a new one.

Caution

• Do not try to clean and re-use the used filter!
• Only use original filters supplied by the manufacturer. Otherwise, your nebuliser may become damaged or effective therapy can no longer be guaranteed.
• Never operate the device without a filter.

To replace the filter, proceed as follows:

Caution

- First switch off the unit and unplug it.

- Allow the unit to cool

1. After replacing the old filter with a new one, replace the filter cap.
2. Ensure that it is securely in place.

10. Cleaning and disinfection

Warning

Adhere to the following hygiene instructions to avoid health risks.

• The atomiser and accessories are designed for multiple usage. Please note that different areas of application involve different requirements in terms of cleaning and hygienic preparation.
• Please consult your doctor about the additional requirements in terms of the hygienic preparation needed (hand care, handling of medication/inhalation solutions) for high-risk groups (e.g. patients with cystic fibrosis).

Important

• The device must be switched off and allowed to cool down each time before cleaning (the ultrasonic transducer heats up considerably during usage).
• Do not clean the ultrasonic transducer 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.
• 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 switched on and do not allow water to spray on the device. The device may only be operated when it is completely dry (this excludes the liquids that are required to be used in the water tank and the medication container).
• Do not spray any liquid into the vents! If liquid penetrates the device this could cause damage to the electronics or other nebuliser parts and lead to a malfunction.

Cleaning

When you have detached the device from the mains socket, remove the cover and if required remove any remaining residue from the medication container and the nebulisation chamber.

The used accessories such as the mouthpiece, mask, adapter, etc. must be washed with hot water after each use. Dry the parts carefully using a soft cloth and place the parts in a dry, sealed container or disinfect them.

- Clean the tank and the cover with a cloth soaked in water or vinegar.

- Clean the surface of the device using a damp cloth (water or a mild cleaning solution). Dry the device using a lint-free cloth..

Important

• Never hold the whole device under running water to clean it.
• When cleaning, ensure that any residue is removed and dry all parts carefully.
• Never use any substances for cleaning that could potentially be dangerous if they came into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, or if they were swallowed or inhaled.

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.

You can disinfect the IH 40 and its accessories in two ways: using 70% ethyl alcohol or boiling water. First, clean the atomiser and accessories as described in the “Cleaning” section. Then continue with the disinfection.

• Drop a few drops of ethyl alcohol onto the ultrasonic transducer and leave this to work for 10 minutes.
• Place the used accessory parts in ethyl alcohol for 10 minutes or use an alcohol-based disinfection spray.
• Then clean all the parts again under running water.

Disinfection with boiling water

Important

The facial masks and the hose must not be submerged in hot water!

- We recommend disinfecting the masks and hose using commercially available alcohol-based disinfectant.

Note

• The mouthpiece can be disinfected in boiling water for 10 minutes.
• Avoid touching the hot base of the pan in this case.
• You can also disinfect the mouthpiece using a commercially available vaporiser. For more information, please see the instructions for use of the vaporiser manufacturer.

Drying

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

i Note

Please ensure that the parts are completely dried after cleaning and disinfection before they are used again or stored; otherwise the risk of bacterial growth is increased.

Put the parts together again if these are completely dry and place the parts in a dry, sealed container.

Durability of materials

• 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.
• 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 therapy.
  We therefore recommend that you replace the accessories after no more than a year.

Storage

• Do not store in a room with a high level of dampness (such as a bathroom) and do not transport with any damp items.
• When storing and transporting, protect from prolonged direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Problem/question	Possible cause/remedy
The atom-iser does not produce any aerosol or produces too little aerosol.	1. No water in the water tank.
	2. Insufficient amount of medication in the atomiser.
	3. Do not hold the atomiser vertically.
	4. Unsuitable medication fluid filled for nebulisation (e.g. too viscous – viscosity must be less than 3). The medication fluid should be prescribed by the doctor.
The output is too low.	Check whether the control dial for the airflow is set correctly.
What medications are suitable for inhaling?	Naturally, only your doctor can decide which medication should be used for treating your condition. Please consult your doctor in relation to this matter.With the IH 40 you can nebulise medications with a viscosity of less than 3.
There is inhalation solution residue in the medication container.	This is normal and is necessary for technical reasons. Stop the inhalation as soon as you can no longer detect nebulisation or the device switches off automatically due to a lack of inhalant.
What should be taken into account when using the device with infants and children?	1. On babies, 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.
Does inhalation using the mask take longer?	This is necessary for 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.
Should each person have their own atomiser?	Yes, this is absolutely essential.
