1. The nebulizer holds up to 10 mL of liquid medication. The nebulizer
is translucent to allow visual monitoring of medication levels and
aerosolization. When the nebulizer is connected into the breathing
circuit, the filler cap can be opened or removed from the nebulizer
without causing loss of circuit pressure.
Within the nebulizer is the 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 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 controller can operate from the AC/DC Adapter or the internal
rechargeable battery. The controller includes an On/Off power button
and sockets for the controller cable and the AC/DC Adapter. The
controller also includes indicators for nebulization cycle selection (15
or 30 minutes), battery charge status and fault conditions.
6. A Universal Mounting Bracket clamps the controller to standard IV
poles and medical rail systems.
7. An Equipment Mount Adapter mounts the controller on Standard
Equipment Mounts.
Note: Pediatric T-piece, Mask Adapter Kits, Elbow Connectors and
Mouthpiece are sold separately.
