Description
Description of Device:
Nebulizer, Model 503, Part #17068 is a small, compact, and battery powered potable nebulizerwhich transforms liquid medicines into aerosol'form and delivers directly to patient forinhalation, It makes patient's respiratory treatment easier and more conyenient.
Intended Use:
NEBULIZER, MODEL 503, PART #17068 is a vibrating mesh nebulizer system designed to aerosolize liquid medications for inhalation by the patient. The device may be used with pediatric (5 years and older), defined by the prescribed medication, and adult patients in hospital/institutional settings, home care use, schools, and long term care facilities.
Technological Characteristics:
NEBULIZER, MODEL 503, PART #17068 operates by electrically activating piezoelectric ceramic actuator (PZT) which then transduces the vibration generated to the adjacent supporting plate and polymer mesh bearing numerous apertures. The vibration actively pushes out the liquid medication by physically breaking surface tension of the solution through mesh holes thereby achieving final nebulization. Aerosol generation can subsequently be modulated the vibration frequency that is controlled by the firmware stored within Main Unit to maintain a frequency of approximate 117 kHz, nebulization rate of ≥0.25 ml/min and a power consumption of <1.5 W.
