Please read the following instructions carefully, as they contain
im portant inform ation concerning the setting up, use and
m aintenance of your new nebuliser.
When using any electrical appliance certain im portant safety
m easures m ust always be observed, which include the follo-
wing:
Safety
Precautions
•
•
Keep this m anual for future reference.
•
The unit is not protected against water penetration, so:
N ever subm erse the nebuliser in water.
As soon as you have unpacked the nebuliser, check it for
visible dam age or defects. In particular check for cracks in
the plastic housing, which could expose electrical com po-
nents. If this is the case or if you are in doubt, contact an
authorized dealer or the OMRON Custom er Service directly.
Only use the nebuliser for its intended purpose, that m eans
for inhalation therapy. Any other form of use constitutes an
im proper use and is therefore dangerous. The m anufacturer
cannot be held liable for any dam age caused by im proper or
incorrect use.
N ever touch the unit when your hands are wet or m oist.
If it falls into a filled bathtub or sink, first disconnect the
power supply plug from the wall socket, before attem pting
to retrieve it. Im m ediately contact an authorized dealer or
the OMRON Custom er Service and have the unit inspected.
Do not use the unit before this inspection and any neces-
sary repairs have been carried out.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not allow unsupervised children or infirm persons to use
the unit.
•
•
•
N ever open the m ain unit.
Do not disconnect the unit by sim ply pulling out the plug
from the wall socket. Always switch the unit off first.
Do not leave the nebuliser running unattended. Always
switch the unit off and then unplug it when it is in use.
Do not leave the unit outdoors or in a hum id environm ent.
N ever store the unit in direct sunlight.
Do not operate the unit in the presence of anaesthetic m ix-

with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
If you discover that the nebuliser is dam aged or does not
operate properly, switch it off im m ediately and stop using
it. Any repairs m ust be carried out by an authorized dealer
using only original OMRON spare parts. Any part of the
unit m ay only be repaired or replaced by the m anufacturer
or the OMRON Custom er Service.
Keep the power cable away from heated or hot surfaces.
The power cable should always be fully unwound in order
to prevent dangerous overheating.
Do not use the nebuliser while you are in a bath or shower.
Som e parts of the unit are so sm all that they could be swal-
lowed by sm all children. Do not let unattended children
have access to the unit.
Make sure that the electrical rating shown on the rating
plate on the bottom of the unit corresponds to your m ains
voltage and frequency before plugging in the nebuliser.
If the power plug provided with the nebuliser does not fit
your wall socket, have the plug changed by an electrical
appliance dealer. Do not use an adapter. If you use an exten-
sion cable m ains adapter m ake sure not to connect too
m any appliances sim ultaneously so that the m axim um load
is not exceeded.

N ever subm erge or wet the AC power unit or cord. Doing so
could result in electrical shock.
➀ Filling cooling water
Preparation
Before filling cooling water or medication, be sure the power is
OFF ( ). (Nebuliser lamp is OFF and the power cord is unplugged).
N ever operate the unit with the water tank em pty. Use only
water in the tank. Solutions other than water m ay cause da-
m age to the transducer.
Remove the cover by slightly pushing the rear part of the cover to
move it upwards.
Lift the medication cup holder by slightly pushing the front panel
of the tank holder and lifting it up.
Change the water in the water tank after each use.
NE-U07
Warning: N ever rem ove the cover during operation – severe
injury could occur.
➀ Filling Medication
Place the nebuliser on a table or another flat and stable surface.
Fill the water tank ( with tap water or distilled water) to the
correct level. (In between the two lines).
Correct
water level
NE-U07
Caution:
1. N ever fill the water tank with solutions other than water.
Dam age to the transducer could occur.
2. Be sure to fill the water tank to the proper level. The unit
will not operate if the water level is low.
When inhaling you should sit upright and relaxed. You should
sit at a table and not in an arm chair as otherwise you will con-
strict your respiratory passages and im pair the effect of inhala-
tion. If you m ust be treated in bed, support yourself with
pillows so that you will sit as upright as possible.
Information
on inhalation
Place m edication directly into the m edication cup.
•
•
N ever use m ore than 10 m l of solution.
Be sure all parts are clean before operating.
One treatm ent should not last longer than 15 m inutes. Consult
your doctor concerning the appropriate inhalation tim e.
Always be calm and relaxed when you inhale. Allow tim e for
the inhalation to take effect after you have finished using the
nebuliser.
The m edication cup has a 10 m l capacity. N ever overfill.
Breathe in slowly and deeply so that the m edication can reach
deep into the fine bronchial tubes. Hold your breath for a short
time, then breathe out slowly. Do not try to breathe too quickly.
Take a pause when you feel like having it.
Before using the nebuliser for the first tim e it m ust be cleaned
