Aerogen
Optimal aerosol delivery is achieved with valved mouthpiece or valved facemask with
low/no oxygen flow. A facemask is not provided.
Inspect for device integrity and correct valve placement prior to use.
1. Insert Aeroneb Solo nebulizer firmly into Adapter in orientation shown in
Figure 10.
2. If supplemental oxygen is required, firmly attach oxygen tubing to Adapter.
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 facemask is required, remove mouthpiece and attach the aerosol
facemask to Adapter.
Note:
When using an aerosol face mask, a minimum oxygen flow of 1 LPM
is required.
4. Add medication to nebulizer.
5. Connect cable to Aeroneb Solo and power on controller.
6. Introduce Adapter to patient and observe aerosol flow to ensure correct operation.
7. Remove excess rainout from Adapter periodically (hourly with continuous
nebulization).
8. To ensure optimum performance of the Adapter, remove any residue
by rinsing through with sterile water, shake off excess and allow
to air dry.
Warnings
•
Do not use with a closed face mask or a standard oxygen mask.
•
When using with an aerosol face mask, always use supplemental oxygen flow of
1-6 LPM for adult and a maximum of 2 LPM for pediatric patients less than 18
years of age.
•
Performance of the Adapter may vary depending upon the type of drug and
Adapter configuration used.
•
Do not exceed recommended oxygen flow for system.
•
Ensure oxygen connection port or tubing is not occluded.
•
Do not use Adapter without a mouthpiece or facemask.
•
Visually check Adapter post-rinsing to ensure that valves have not become
dislodged.
•
Do not cover Adapter valves during use.
•
Do not use Adapter in conjunction with the Aeroneb Pro nebulizer.
•
Do not autoclave any component of the kit.
•
Ensure tubing is safely orientated to prevent strangulation hazard.
