4.3.8 Synchronized Nebulizer
A Nebulizer is a pneumatic device that uses compressed gas to
deliver aerosolized medication that can be inhaled by patients.
During nebulization, the flow will be synchronized with the
inspiratory phase of each breath. Note that the Nebulizer works
during the inspiratory phase only.
For proper installation of the Nebulizer see section 2.4.4, on
page 46.
Caution: The nebulizer is operational for all tidal
volumes greater than 200ml. Do not activate the
nebulizer if the set tidal volume is below 200ml.
To set the nebuilzer:
1. From the Advanced Setting
menu (see section 4.3 on page
125) turn the control knob to
highlight “Nebulizer”.
Note: The Nebulizer option is active only during
ventilation. You can, however, set the Nebulizer in
Standby Mode also. It will be activated after you start
ventilation.
The nublizer is activated only when you set the Oxygen
Supply to High option (see section 4.3.4 on page 132).
