• The Aerogen®Solo can be used for intermittent nebulization and for continuous nebulization. Continuous nebulization
is intended for hospital use only.
• It can be used with the Aerogen Pro‑X Controller or the Aerogen USB Controller.
• The Aerogen Solo is compatible with other systems having an integrated Aerogen controller.
• It is a single patient use device, with an expected maximum life of 28 days or for a maximum of 7 days if used in
Continuous mode.
WARNING
Refer to the Aerogen Solo System Instruction Manual (AG‑AS3050‑IC), the Aerogen USB Controller
Instruction Manual (AG‑UC1050‑IC) or the corresponding integrated system Instruction Manual for complete
instructions.
Note: Aerogen recommend that the Aerogen Solo nebulizer be used in conjunction with an Aerogen Solo disposable
T‑Piece.
Refer to Figures A, B, C, D, E & F
1Intermittent Nebulization (Option 1)
• Ensure the Aerogen Solo (1) is firmly pushed into the Aerogen Solo T‑Piece (2).
• Insert the nebulizer and T‑Piece assembly into the inspiratory limb of the ventilation circuit (3) as shown in
Figure A.
• Introduce prescribed medication into the nebulizer cup (4) and insert the tethered silicone plug (5).
• Turn on the 30 Minute Mode option (Intermittent) on the Aerogen Pro‑X Controller or integrated controller (as
per system Instruction Manual).
2Intermittent Nebulization (Option 2)
The Aerogen Solo can be placed between the ventilator and the dry side of the humidifier. Figure B illustrates a set
up for the Aerogen Solo at the dry side of the humidifier. The Aerogen Solo can be used with a nasal interface in this
configuration.
The Aerogen Solo can be placed between the wye and endotracheal tube as shown in Figure C. The Aerogen Solo can
be used with a Heat and Moisture Exchange Device (HME) which may contain a filter.
Only a HME approved for use with a nebulizer should be used in this configuration (Figure D). Follow the HME
manufacturer instructions regarding use with a nebulizer. Ensure the total combined volume of nebulizer, T‑Piece with
or without a HME is suitable for the tidal volume being delivered. Do not use a nebulizer between the wye and neonate
patient. Adult T‑piece volume = 34.3mL and Pediatric T‑piece volume = 19.5 mL.
Refer to system Instruction Manual for other configurations.
3Continuous Nebulization
• Place nebulizer as shown in Figure A or Figure B.
• Fill and prime the Aerogen Continuous Nebulization Tube Set (6) with medication as per Aerogen Solo
System Instruction Manual (AG‑AS3050‑IC & AG‑UC1050‑IC).
• Screw the nebulizer end of the tube set (7) onto the top of the Aerogen Solo (1) as indicated in Figure E.
• Turn on the Continuous mode option on the Aerogen Pro‑X Controller or integrated controller (as per
Aerogen Solo System or integrated system Instruction Manual) and turn on the syringe pump (refer to
