4Aerogen®
1. The nebuliser holds up to 10 mL of liquid medication. The nebuliser
is translucent to allow visual monitoring of medication levels and
aerosolisation. When the nebuliser is connected into the breathing
circuit, the filler cap can be opened or removed from the nebuliser
without causing loss of circuit pressure.
Within the nebuliser 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 aerosolise 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 nebuliser 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 nebulisation 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: Paediatric T-piece, Neonate Adapters, Mask Adapter Kits, Elbow
Connectors and Mouthpiece are sold separately.
