Professional Nebulizer System Instruction Manual 3
1. The nebulizer unit holds up to 10 mL of liquid
medication. The nebulizer unit is translucent to allow
visual monitoring of medication levels and
aerosolization. When the nebulizer unit is connected
into the breathing circuit, the filler cap can be opened
or removed from the nebulizer unit without causing
loss of circuit pressure.
Within the nebulizer unit is an Aerogen Vibronic
®
Aerosol Generator, which consists of a domed
aperture plate with precision-formed holes that control
the size of the aerosol droplets and a vibrational
element that creates micro-pumping action to
aerosolize medication. Gravity brings the medication in
contact with the aerosol generator; the liquid is then
drawn through the aperture plate and converted into
an aerosol.
2. The T-piece securely connects the nebulizer unit into
the breathing circuit and can be easily removed for
cleaning. The T-piece connections are standard male
and female 22 mm ISO conical ports and connect to
standard patient breathing circuits.
3,4,5. The control module can operate from the AC/DC
adapter or the internal rechargeable battery. The
control module includes an On/Off power button and
sockets for the control module cable and the AC/DC
adapter. The control module also includes indicators
for nebulization cycle selection (15 or 30 minutes),
battery charge status and fault conditions.
6. A universal mounting bracket clamps the control
module to standard IV poles and medical rail systems.
7. An equipment mount adapter mounts the control
module on standard equipment mounts.
Pediatric T-piece, neonate adapters, mask adapter kits, elbow
connectors and mouthpiece are sold separately.
