INTRODUCTION
What Is a Nebulizer and How Does It Work?
The compressor nebulizer system is a device that turns a liquid drug into a ne aerosol under the inuence of the com-
pressed air. Aerosol contains large and small particles. When breathing the gravity makes the larger particles accumulate
on the walls of the upper respiratory passages while the smaller particles have enough time to reach the lower bronchial
branches. Therefore the drug comes to all parts of the patient’s bronchial tree, including the smallest bronchi and alveoli,
and gets into the blood vessels on the walls of the alveoli in big therapeutic dozes with tiny or none side e󰀨ects.
What Is Nebulizing Therapy Used For?
Nebulizer systems are used by the patients with:
• acute respiratory diseases,
• obstructive pulmonary disease,
• chronic inammatory processes in respiratory passages such as chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma (incl.
chronic or unstable ones, exacerbation of asthma), chronic pharyngitis,
• respiratory passages infections,
• abnormalities in secretion quality and secreting in bronchi,
• di󰀨erent types of coughing.
What Are the Advantages of Nebulizing Therapy?
Nebulizing therapy gives a possibility to quickly e󰀨ect the inammatory zone by big drug dozes which increases the
inuence of the treatment and reduces the risk of side e󰀨ects to other organs. Nebulizing therapy is the easiest way of
inhalation treatment and it is also an economical means of treatments from the point of view of purposeful use of drug.
Aerosol treatment with the help of nebulizing systems can be used for children, elderly and inrm patients.

CARRYING OUT NEBULIZING THERAPY
The appliance is a medical device of class IIa, which converts medicine from the uid form to vapour in order to inject it
directly into the respiratory tracts. The appliance nebulizes medicines both in suspension and in solution. The therapeutic
e󰀨ect could be reduced with oily and/or pasty medicines.
The appliance is NOT a nebulizer for essential oil. Don’t preheat liquid and/or alcohol solutions. Medicine cup and all
accessories have NOT been sterilized. Read “Unit maintenance” paragraph before use.
