The Aerogen Ultra can be used in conjunction with the Aerogen Solo
Continuous Nebulization Tube Set (see page 20).
Optimal aerosol delivery is achieved with valved mouthpiece or the
I-Guard
™
Aerosol Mask (as supplied), with low/no oxygen flow.
Inspect for device integrity and correct valve placement prior to use.
1. Insert Aerogen Solo nebulizer firmly into Aerogen Ultra in orientation
shown in Figure 4.
2. If supplemental oxygen is required, firmly attach oxygen tubing to
Aerogen Ultra.
Note: Oxygen flow rate should be set between 1-6 LPM for adult and
a maximum of 2 LPM for pediatric patients less than 18 years of age.
3. If an aerosol face mask is required, remove mouthpiece and attach the
aerosol face mask to Aerogen Ultra.
Note:
When using an aerosol face mask, a minimum oxygen flow of 1 LPM
is required.
4. Add medication to Aerogen Solo.
5. Connect cable to Aerogen Solo and power on controller.
6. Introduce Aerogen Ultra to patient and observe aerosol flow to ensure
correct operation.
7. Remove excess rainout from the Aerogen Ultra periodically (hourly with
continuous nebulization).
8. To ensure optimum performance of the Aerogen Ultra, remove any
residue by rinsing through with sterile water, shake off excess and allow
to air dry.
Warnings
