8. To start a continuous nebulization cycle, press and hold the blue On/Off power
button from the off state for at least three seconds. Verify the green, ‘continuous
nebulization’ indicator light is on (Figure 4).
9. Observe nebulizer for correct operation. During continuous nebulization, the
nebulizer is on continuously and the medication is nebulized on a drop by drop
basis. Nebulization should be visible with regular intermittent pauses. Medication
level in the nebulizer reservoir should not rise during use.
10. To stop the nebulizer at any time, press the on/off power button. The indicator
turns off to indicate that nebulization has stopped.
Aerogen’s recommended input rate of medication into the Aeroneb Solo nebulizer
during continuous nebulization is up to a maximum of 12 mL per hour. The upper
limit of 12 mL per hour is based on Aerogen’s specification for the minimum nebulizer
flow rate. For directions on determining flow rates, refer to the Optional Flow Rate
Calculation method in the Functional Test section, page 19.
Warnings Specific to the Continuous Nebulization Tube Set
• It is important to ensure that the maximum flow rate through the tube set into the
nebulizer must not exceed the output rate of the nebulizer.
• Check for leaks from the system prior to and during use.
• The graduations on the syringe are for indication use only.
• Store at room temperature and use product within labelled shelf life.
• To ensure correct and safe connection between the nebulizer and the medication
reservoir, trace the medication tube from the nebulizer back to the medication
reservoir to make sure the medication tube is connected to the correct source.
• The recommended syringe pump software setting with the Aerogen syringe is
typically the “BD Plastipak” setting. This must be validated locally before use.
Refer to pump manual or manufacturer for guidance. These pumps may also be
used in accordance with local hospital or ward policies.
• Ensure that the tethered silicone plug is attached to the Aeroneb Solo when
connecting tube set.
• Ensure that the tubing is safely orientated to prevent a trip hazard.
• Rising level of medication in the reservoir may occur if the Aeroneb Solo
nebulizer is turned off while the feed system is still on or the nebulizer is not in its
recommended orientation.
• The level of the medication in the reservoir of the Aeroneb Solo nebulizer should
be periodically monitored to ensure that the fill rate of medication does not
exceed the output rate of the nebulizer. A rising level of medication in the reservoir
indicates that the fill rate is exceeding the output rate of the nebulizer.
• Replace the tube set and syringe when changing the type of medication.
