Medicine container
The nebuliser's built-in medicine reservoir volume is a crucial consideration. It's important to align this parameter with medical guidelines for the prescribed treatment. A too-small capacity may require frequent refilling, disrupting the treatment process.
Also, knowing the volume of the reservoir and the nebulization rate (see below), it is possible to estimate the operating time of the nebuliser on a single refill.
Max air flow
The maximum air output of a compressor nebuliser during operation is a key factor to consider. It's important to note that actual performance during normal operation is often lower. Different applications have recommended air flow intensities, and knowing this parameter helps assess how well the inhaler aligns with specific recommendations.
Nebulization rate
The nebuliser's nebulization capacity per minute.
The ideal nebulization rate can differ based on factors such as the patient's health condition, the type of disease, and the composition of the inhaled medication, as outlined in medical guidelines. This rate is crucial in assessing the inhaler's effectiveness for specific situations and also influences how long the device operates on a single medication refill.
Some models have a nebulization speed control — in such cases, the maximum value is usually indicated in the characteristics.
Medium particle size (MMAD)
Since not all particles have the same size, this paragraph indicates exactly the average, most common particle size when splitting in this inhaler. Accordingly, lower values allow easier and deeper penetration into the bronchi.
Accessory compartment
Having an
accessory compartment in the nebuliser case, including nozzles and power cords, significantly streamlines storage and transportation. This design ensures that all essential components are neatly housed within the case, minimizing the risk of loss and keeping everything organized.
