Aerogen Ultra Mode D'emploi page 3

ENG
The Aerogen Ultra is an accessory specific to the Aerogen Solo nebuliser. It facilitates intermittent and continuous
®
nebulisation, with optional supply of supplemental oxygen to paediatric and adult patients via mouthpiece. The device
can alternatively be used with a face mask, as supplied.
It is a single patient use device which is qualified for 20 intermittent use treatments (at a rate of four 3 ml doses per day
over 5 days) or 3 hours of continuous use.
For continuous use, the Aerogen Ultra can be used in conjunction with the Aerogen Solo Continuous Nebulization Tube
Set. See Aerogen Solo System Instruction Manual.
Optimal aerosol delivery is achieved with valved mouthpiece or valved aerosol face mask with low/no oxygen flow.
