T-Pieces - Connection To A Breathing Circuit

Adult & Pediatric Circuit

For adult and pediatric patients, connect 
the nebulizer with T-piece into the 
inspiratory limb of the breathing circuit 
before the patient Y.

Alternative Pediatric Circuit

Connect the nebulizer to 10mm pediatric 
breathing circuits with the 15mm pediatric 
T-piece and the pediatric adapters. This 
can be positioned approximately 30 cm 
(12 in.) back from the patient Y.

Dry Side of the Humidifier

The Aerogen Solo can be placed on 
the dry side of the humidifier as shown. 
The Aerogen Solo can be used with a 
nasal interface in this configuration. The 
Aerogen Pro is not recommended for 
use on the dry side of the humidifier. 

Note: 

 Always perform a leak test of the breathing circuit after inserting or 
removing the nebulizer. 
 Follow ventilator manufacturer instructions for performing a leak test. 
 For additional T-piece Adapters visit www.aerogen.com for full 
parts list.
