The Aerogen Ultra is a single patient use device with a validated defined
life of:
• In intermittent use for a maximum of 20 treatments; which is based
upon a typical usage profile of four 3 mL doses per day over 5 days,
with an average treatment time of 9 minutes.
or
• In continuous use, for a maximum of 3 hours.
The Aerogen Ultra can be used in conjunction with the Aerogen Solo
Continuous Nebulization Tube Set (see page 20).
Optimal aerosol delivery is achieved with valved mouthpiece or valved
face mask (as supplied) with low/no oxygen flow.
Inspect for device integrity and correct valve placement prior to use.
1. Insert Aerogen Solo nebulizer firmly into Aerogen Ultra in orientation
shown in Figure 11.
2. If supplemental oxygen is required, firmly attach oxygen tubing to
Aerogen Ultra.
Note: Oxygen flow rate should be set between 1-6 LPM for adult and
a maximum of 2 LPM for pediatric patients less than 18 years of age.
3. If an aerosol face mask is required, remove mouthpiece and attach the
aerosol face mask to Aerogen Ultra.
Note: When using an aerosol face mask, a minimum oxygen flow of 1
LPM is required.
4. Add medication to nebulizer.
5. Connect cable to Aerogen Solo and power on controller.
6. Introduce Aerogen Ultra to patient and observe aerosol flow to ensure
correct operation.
7. Remove excess rainout from the Aerogen Ultra periodically (hourly with
continuous nebulization).
8. To ensure optimum performance of the Aerogen Ultra, remove any
residue by rinsing through with sterile water, shake off excess and allow
to air dry.
