Ultrasound technology
An aerosol is generated in the ultrasonic nebulizer due to the
vibrations of a piezoelectric crystal.
Thus, electric energy is transformed into mechanical oscillations
which create droplets. The optimum diameter of the droplets is 1-
5 µm (according to "Guidelines for the aerosol therapy of lung
diseases", Lungenliga Schweiz). The droplets can only penetrate
into the narrow branches of the upper and lower airways if they
have a small diameter thus transporting and depositing the
medicine where it is intended to be most effective.
Inhalant
ATTENTION
• Consult your doctor before using any medicinal
products or medicines to ensure that they are suitable
for your needs or alternatively only use the medicinal
products/medicine prescribed for you by your doctor.
• The MEDISANA USN ultrasonic inhaler is suitable for
use with all common aerosol products (aerosols) with
the exception of
- Products with solid constituents (suspensions)
- Viscous solutions (high viscosity)
- Volatile oils
• Please do not use any volatile oils since this may lead
to damage to the nebulizer diaphragm.
• Use only water-soluble products/medicines or those
which have an alcohol base.
• Use only isotonic saline solution to dilute the inhalant;
otherwise bronchial spasms may occur in certain
circumstances.
• Do not use oil-based inhalants.
