Aerogen Solo Aerosol Flow Rate
Calculation (Optional)
Flow rates may vary between individual Aerogen Solo nebulisers. The
minimum flow rate for all Aerogen Solo nebulisers is 0.2 mL per minute.
In order to calculate the flow rate of an individual Aerogen Solo nebuliser,
follow these steps:
1. Transfer 0.5 mL of normal saline (0.9%) or intended drug into the
Aerogen Solo medication cup.
2. Turn on the nebuliser.
3. Using a stop-watch, measure the length of time it takes from the start
of nebulisation until all the saline/drug has been nebulised.
4. Calculate the flow rate using the following equations:
Flow rate in mL/min =
Volume of normal saline or drug
Nebulisation time in seconds
x 60
)
)
Flow rate in mL/hr =
Volume of normal saline or drug
Nebulisation time in seconds
x 60
)

x 60
