STANDARDIZING MULTIPLE NEBULIZERS
Adjusting the nebulizer settings can allow two or more similar nebulizers to operate at
approximately the same output rate. For example: If nebulizer A has a slightly higher output
than nebulizer B when run at default duty cycle (50%), you can adjust the settings to effectively
obtain similar outputs from both.
To standardize multiple nebulizers, use the following procedure:
1) Determine the actual aerosol output rate for each nebulizer by characterizing the
nebulizers in
flexiWare
.
2) Use the following to determine the new nebulization rate (r
Neb
) at which one nebulizer will be
operated to match the other one:
