Application Instructions
- Consult a doctor before using the lung trainer, especially in case of existing respiratory diseases or health problems such as asthma, COPD or cardiovascular disease.
- Before each use, inspect the lung trainer for damage or wear. Dispose of the product immediately if it is damaged.
- Start with short sessions and increase the intensity and duration of the training only gradually. Pay attention to controlled and even breathing as well as an upright posture to avoid straining the breathing muscles.
- For noticeable improvements, you should perform the training regularly.
- Avoid overexertion. Excessive or intense training can cause overload. If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, severe cough or shortness of breath during use, stop training immediately and seek medical attention.
- Use the lung trainer only for personal use and do not share it with other people.
- If children or the elderly use the lung trainer, they may only do so under supervision.

Operation
- Remove the hose from the bracket.
- Attach the hose end to the lower connection of the breath trainer.
- Keep the lung trainer vertical and at face level throughout the exercises.
- Exhale and then enclose the mouthpiece tightly with your lips.
- Inhale so that the white ball rises and hold this position for as long as possible. The grey and black balls should remain in their starting positions.
- Increase your training by inhaling more vigorously until the white and grey balls reach the top of their respective chambers. The black ball should remain motionless. This will optimally increase your breathing volume and ventilate your lungs evenly.
- For maximum training results, inhale deeply and vigorously until all three balls reach the top of their chambers. This uses your entire lung volume.
- Release the mouthpiece and exhale. Then continue breathing normally for a few minutes.
- Repeat as needed. Perform 3 to 5 training sessions throughout the day, each with 5 to 10 exercises. Even a few exercises daily can measurably improve lung capacity.
Important Note: Do not allow air to flow into the breath trainer when exhaling. Moisture can impair its function and promote the formation of unwanted, infectious bacteria.
Visual Description of Device: The device consists of a clear plastic unit with three vertical chambers. Each chamber contains a colored ball: white, grey, and black. A flexible tube connects to the bottom of the unit, leading to a mouthpiece. The balls are designed to rise within their chambers based on airflow during inhalation.
