How to inhale with the OMRON MicroAIR U22

!Caution: Only use type and amount of medications as prescribed

and instructed by your doctor.

Medication

1. Slightly tilt the unit as illustrated in the figure. In this position, the vibrator is immersed in the medication and nebulisation will start after power on.

After the vibrator has been immersed in the medication,

 

 

the unit can be used under any angle.

 

 

!Caution: In some positions (e.g. upright), nebulisation may

 

Vibrator

stop after a short while. In that case, briefly tilt the unit again

 

in order to re-immerse the vibrator in the medication.

 

 

2. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth or place the mask over

 

 

mouth and nose.

 

 

Always be calm and relaxed when you inhale. Breathe in slowly and

 

 

deeply so that the medication can reach deep in to the bronchial

 

 

tubes. Hold your breath briefly, then breathe out slowly while

 

 

removing the mouthpiece from your mouth. Do not breathe too

 

 

quickly. Pause when you feel like having a rest.

 

 

You may synchronise the nebulisation with your inhalation/exhalation

 

 

cycles by using the unit in ‘manual nebulisation mode’. Refer to page

 

 

14.

Absorb the medication by means of a lint-free cloth.

 

 

!Caution: Do not poke the mesh with a cotton swap or a pin; the

 

 

mesh may be permanently damaged.

 

 

After inhalation always switch off the nebuliser by pressing the (/ I) button.
