Warnings
• Always maintain the nebulizer in a vertical orientation (with the filler cap
uppermost) while in the patient circuit (Figures 6, 7, & 8). This orientation
prevents condensate from blocking the nebulizer and ensures proper
nebulization. Always visually inspect the nebulizer prior to placing
in the ventilator circuit to assure that no secretions are blocking the
Aerogen Vibronic
®
aerosol generator.
• When removing the nebulizer from the patient circuit always replace
the T-piece plug to maintain circuit pressure.
• Always connect a bacteria filter to the expiratory inlet of the ventilator.
Otherwise the function of the expiratory channel may be degraded.
• Do not use a filter or heat-moisture exchanger (HME) between the
nebulizer and patient airway.
