Introducing the Aeroneb® Professional Nebulizer System
An exceptional aerosol delivery option for clinicians that saves time, lowers
costs and provides flexibility for respiratory therapy throughout the hospital.
The Aeroneb Pro provides effective dose delivery of physician-prescribedinhalation solutions for infants through adults requiring positive pressurebreathing assistance, including mechanical ventilation, as well as hand-heldnebulizer therapy. Utilizing Aerogen’s unique aerosol generator, theAeroneb Pro produces a fine particle, low velocity aerosol withoutenvironmentally unfriendly propellants, inefficient compressors or costlyultrasonic elements.
The Aeroneb Pro overcomes the issue of poor aerosol delivery duringmechanical ventilation, depositing up to four times more medicationthrough an endotracheal tube (in vitro) during mechanical ventilation thansmall volume nebulizers (SVNs). SVNs have been reported to deliverbetween 1–3%1 of the nominal dose to the lungs during mechanicalventilation, compared to 2–18%2 in nonintubated patients.
