Questions and Answers

Hippomed horse inhalers are specially designed for horses' lungs, offering innovative 2-chamber cold nebulisation to protect sensitive medications and a functionally optimised mask for maximum depth of action – for safe, efficient and stress-free treatment.

Albert Kerbl GmbH grants you a 2-year warranty on the ultrasound base unit in accordance with our general warranty conditions. These general warranty conditions can be found at www.kerbl.com/guarantee. We will also be happy to send you the warranty conditions by post. Your statutory warranty rights remain unaffected by our guarantee. This warranty begins on the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover:

1. Damage caused by natural wear and tear (wear parts such as the oscillator / transducer), excessive strain and incorrect use (non-compliance with operating instructions).
2. Damage caused by force majeure or sustained during transport.
3. Damage to rubber parts, e.g. on access lines.
4. Damage to the mask including its attachments (valves) and the tube.

The unit must for this purpose be delivered to the specified service address, at the risk of the unit's owner, complete, packaged and with sufficient postage, including the original invoice. Please provide as much information as possible on the nature of the problem (see form).

Always open the ventilation disk at the front first, then from the throat over the nostrils (from the bottom back to the front).

The mask only needs to sit slightly above the nostrils, not up to the beginning of the cheekbone.

Please always consult your family veterinarian before having any medication inhaled. Saline is usually safe and is available without a prescription.

Dry and frost-free in the storage box provided

After disinfection, rinse with sufficient water and hang to dry in a suitable place. Do not hang on sharp edges or on the heater.

We recommend once to a maximum of twice a day for 10 to 20 min or as recommended by the vet.

All mask parts and the breathing tube must be disinfected after each use, then rinsed with water and dried afterwards. The inhalation unit can be wiped down with water and a soft cloth.

Please check if the droplet catcher (small white ring in the nebulising chamber lid) is seated correctly. The slit must point upwards.

In this case, the inhalation valve in the mask is not working correctly (dirty, bent or broken). The inhalation valve should act as a non-return valve.

Yes, as many as you like! It is important to thoroughly clean/disinfect the mask parts before letting another horse inhale.

The most common respiratory diseases include acute or chronic cough, COB (also known as equine asthma), IAD (inflammatory airway disease), viral or bacterial infections, and allergic reactions to dust, mould or pollen.

Housing errors such as excessive dusty conditions, bad ventilation, lack of exercise or harmful gases (ammonia), untreated infections, allergies, viruses, bacteria or even genetic predisposition play a role.

Symptoms include coughing (especially in the morning or during exertion), nasal discharge, reduced performance, difficulty breathing, increased respiratory rate and loss of appetite.

Inhalation delivers active ingredients directly to their target location – the lungs. This enables a high local concentration of active ingredients with fewer side effects. It can be used for acute treatment as well as for prevention.
