Handheld nebulizer
he Aeroneb Pro (Aerogen Pro) is a multi-patient, vibrating-mesh nebulizer system for delivering prescribed inhaled medications efficiently to infants, children, and adults, even those on mechanical ventilation, by creating a fine aerosol with minimal drug loss, using a controller and disposable nebulizer unit that operates without added airflow. It's known for its flexibility, use with standard ventilator circuits or masks, and ability to handle various medications, including complex formulations like liposomes, without heating them.
Key Features & Functionality
· Vibrating Mesh Technology: A micro-mesh with 1000 holes vibrates rapidly to create a consistent, fine aerosol, allowing for deep lung penetration.
· Flexible Use: Can be used:
· Inline with ventilator circuits (pre or post humidifier).
· With T-piece, masks, or mouthpieces for non-ventilated patients.
· Zero Flow (Pro X): The Aeroneb Pro X adds no extra flow to ventilator circuits, preventing circuit disruption.
· Efficient Delivery: Delivers more medication to the lungs during ventilation compared to traditional small volume nebulizers (SVNs).
· Portable: Can be battery-operated via a controller.
· Multi-Patient Use: Requires proper cleaning and sanitization between patients, suitable for hospital settings.
Components
· Aeroneb Pro Nebulizer: The disposable unit where medication is placed.
· Controller: Powers the nebulizer and has settings for treatment duration.
· AC/DC Adapter: Powers the controller.
· T-Piece & Adapters: For connecting to various breathing circuits.
Benefits
· Overcomes Ventilation Challenges: Improves drug delivery during mechanical ventilation.
· Medication Integrity: Doesn't heat or degrade medications.
· Cost-Effective: More efficient drug use.
Usage & Maintenance
· Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilization.
· Use only physician-prescribed medications approved for nebulization.
