 Instructions for use

for use at home

1  IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read these instructions for use carefully and completely. Do not discard, so you 

can consult them at a later date. If you fail to comply with the instructions for use, injury 

or damage to the device cannot be ruled out.
These instructions for use are intended for the user at home. Separate instructions for 

use are available for technical personnel on the Internet at www.pari.de/en/products  

(on the respective product page) or as a hard copy on request from PARI GmbH.
Safety-critical warnings are categorised according to hazard levels in these instructions 

for use:

 

The signal word WARNING is used to indicate hazards which, without precautionary 

measures, can result in serious injury or even death.

 

The signal word CAUTION is used to indicate hazards which, without precautionary 

measures, can result in minor to moderate injury or impair treatment.

 

The signal word NOTE is used to indicate general precautionary measures which are 

to be observed to avoid damaging the device during use.

WARNING

When treating babies, children and anyone who requires assistance, the follow­

ing must be observed without fail:

 

Babies, children and anyone who requires assistance must be supervised constantly 

by an adult during inhalation therapy. This is the only way to ensure safe and effec-

tive treatment.

Such persons often underestimate the hazards involved, thus resulting in a 

risk of 

injury

.

 

The product contains small parts. Small parts can block the respiratory tract and 

pose a 

choking hazard

. Therefore, make sure that you always keep this product out 

of the reach of babies and infants.

CAUTION

 

The VORTEX

®

 can be disinfected up to 60 times as described in chapter 4. If you 

use the device every day, replace all components of your holding chamber after a 

year, because the material can change over time. This might 

impair

 the 

effective­

ness of the treatment

.

 

Only use medications that have been prescribed by your doctor and follow your 

doctor's dosing instructions as well as the instructions for use of the medication 

concerned. If treatment causes the 

patient's health to worsen

, contact a doctor 

immediately.
