Aerogen Solo Aerosol Flow Rate
Calculation (Optional)
Note: This calculation only applies to 6 Hour operating mode for the
Aerogen Solo.
Flow rates may vary between individual Aerogen Solo nebulizers. The
minimum flow rate for all Aerogen Solo nebulizers is 0.2 mL per minute.
In order to calculate the flow rate of an individual Aerogen Solo nebulizer;
follow these steps:
1. Transfer 0.5 mL of normal saline (0.9%) or intended drug into the
Aerogen Solo medication cup.
2. Turn on the nebulizer.
3. Using a stop-watch, measure the length of time it takes from the start
of nebulization until all the saline/drug has been nebulized.
4. Calculate the flow rate using the following equations:
Flow rate in mL/min =
Volume of normal saline or drug
Nebulization time in seconds
x 60
) )
Flow rate in mL/hr =
Volume of normal saline or drug
Nebulization time in seconds
x 60
) )
