Warranty  

 

The Aeroneb Pro nebulizer unit is warranted for one year from 
date of purchase against defects in manufacturing. The 
Aeroneb Pro Control Module and AC/DC Adapter are 
warranted for a period of two years from the date of purchase 
against defects in manufacturing. All warranties are based on 
typical usage.

 

 

 

Life of Product 

 
As with all active electronic components, the Aeroneb Pro 
nebulizer unit has a defined life. In the case of the Aeroneb 
Pro Controller, the life of the controller unit has been validated 
for use for 1460 doses. This is based on a typical product 
usage profile over a two year period, including four treatments 
per day, 50% of the time. 
 
 
The life of the Aeroneb Pro nebulizer and components have 
been validated for use for 730 doses and 26 autoclave 
treatments based on a typical one year usage profile of four 
treatments per day and one sterilization per week, where the 
device is assumed to be in service for 50% of the time. 
The user should note that any use in excess of this may 
result in reduced life of the product.
