HOW TO USE THE “CLENNY
®
A” NEBULIZER WITH PARTICLE SIZE REGULATOR AND
VALVE SYSTEM
It is professional, quick, recommended for administering all types of medicinal prod-
ucts, even in patients with chronic diseases. The valve system optimises the dispens-
ing of the nebulised medicinal product to the patient and limits its dispersion in the
environment. Moreover, thanks to the particle size regulator, the size of nebulised
particles can be selected based on the respiratory system area where the medication
is to be delivered. Indeed, with the 4 available modes, the bowl can dispense parti-
cles of different sizes:

Select the desired position by means of the particle size
regulator C1.1.
By turning the regulator clockwise, the selector (C1.1c)
moves and closes the opening, while it opens if the regula-
tor is turned anti-clockwise.

1) In vitro testing performed by TÜV Rheinland Italia S.r.l. in collaboration with the University of Parma and in
compliance with the EN 13544-1: 2007 + A1 European Standard for aerosol therapy devices Standard. More details
are available on request.
(2) Data measured according to Flaem I29-P07.5 internal procedure Dispensing speed values may vary according
to the patient’s respiratory capacity. More details are available on request.
(3) Data calculated on the basis of the values obtained with Malvern Spraytec, and compared with the values of
the tests performed at the University of Parma.
