Nebulizer and Compressors
Technical Details
MMAD (%/microns)
Dispersion of aerosol particles generated by a nebulizer is expressed by the median mass aerodynamic diameter (MMAD), the diameter measurement around which the mass of particles is equally distributed.The definition of an aerosol is a "mixture of gas and liquid particles," and the best example of a naturally occurring aerosol is mist
Mode of operation
ContinuousFor Continuous Nebulisation |
SynchronisedFor intermittent inhalation that synchronise with breathing |
Type of Device
Compressor NebuliserThe compressor is the heart of the device. It pumps air into the medication container or cup to form a breathable mist. |
Mesh NebuliserMesh nebulisers, can be used to nebulise aqueous solutions, but can be less efficient in nebulising suspensions. |
Piston NebuliserPiston-Pump Compressor (also called Jet or Aerosol Nebulizers). Delivers air from a piston-powered compressor through the liquid medication. |
Ultrasonic NebuliserThe UltraNeb is a high output ultrasonic nebuliser used for humidification, sputum induction and aerosol therapy."Sputum induction" by inhalation of hypertonic saline is a noninvasive, simple, cost effective and safe procedure to collect respiratory secretions from lung airways for diagnosis of various respiratory diseases |
Accessories
Mouthpiece
A nebuliser mask fits over the mouth and nose to deliver medication directly to the airways.
