The multisonic® profi is a powerful ultrasonic neb-
uliser for preventative and therapeutic deep inha-
lation that reflects the latest scientific findings in
this area.
However, the unit has not been designed for life-
saving emergency treatment.
The multisonic® profi can be used at home, whilst
travelling and in clinics thanks to its universal vol-
tage supply options (mains, 12 V battery or rechar-
geable battery pack).
The multisonic® profi effectively combines aero-
sol therapy with the need for safe inhalation that
is environmentally friendly. Its innovative design
prevents the release of medicines into the
environment.
The comfort of patients was one of the main con-
siderations in the design of the multisonic® profi.
• Universal usage
• Optimal penetration of tissues
• High nebuliser performance and short
inhalation times
• Warming of aerosol
• Low wastage of medicines and ease of
setting doses
• Simple and safe to use
• Easy to clean
• Noiseless in operation
• Modern design
• Small, easy to handle and transport
• Suitable for nebulisation of all common
inhalation solutions (see page 23 for list)
Please read the Instructions for Use carefully to
ensure that the unit is used correctly. We would be
happy to answer any questions you may have and
would welcome your comments.

Points to note
6
• Clean the multisonic® profi carefully after each
inhalation.
• Carry out the inhalation therapy as directed by
your physician.
• If the user does not use the inhalation unit in
accordance with the Instructions for Use then he
or she assumes liability for its safe operation.
• Check all the accessories regularly for any chan-
ges in appearance and replace the valves,
nebuliser head, mouthpiece, baffle plate and
sealing ring at the intervals stated in the
Instructions for Use.
• Never remove the nebuliser head or baffle plate
when the unit is switched on.
• If the unit has switched off once only a residual
quantity of substance remains or if the over-tem-
perature protection has activated, then the plug
must be pulled out of the socket on the rear side
of the unit and re-inserted to re-start the nebuliser.
• The multisonic® profi can be used for nebulisa-
tion of all Inhalation solutions that are water-
based, including suspensions and natural thera-
py agents that are suitable for inhalation.
• Use only medicines that have been prescribed or
recommended by your physician.
• If you have inhaled the wrong medicine by mis-
take then inform your physician without delay.
• Fill the medicine chamber with the required
volume of medicine before each inhalation.
• Never inhale medicines that are left over from
a previous inhalation unless your physician
expressly says that you may do so.
• Breathe in quietly and uniformly. The first 3 or 4
times you inhale do not do so deeply to allow
yourself time to get used to the aerosol mist.
• After breathing in hold your breath for a short
time (around 2 seconds) to allow the medicine
to be deposited properly in the airways.
• If you interrupt the inhalation procedure then
switch the unit off by pressing the ON/OFF switch.

Fill the medicine – dose and
quantity as directed by your
physician – directly into the
medicine chamber (max. 5 ml).
Hold the hand unit at a slight
angle so that no bubbles form
on the ceramic during filling
that might prevent or reduce
the nebulisation process. (Fig. 1)
Ensure that the sealing ring
sits correctly and that the baf-
fle plate is inserted correctly
in the groove as shown.
Inhalation
Place the nebuliser head on
the hand unit and turn it in
the direction of the arrow
until it is tight (Fig. 3).
• Always hold the hand unit vertically.
• Ensure that the medicine chamber always
has medicine solution in it.
• Some drops of the medicine will cling to the
walls of the nebuliser head and the chamber
after use. This is a residual quantity of < 1 ml.
