Description
The Omron C801 Nebulizer is an everyday compressor nebulizer for the treatment of lower airways respiratory diseases such as asthma, allergies and other respiratory disorders. It is intended to provide air to the pneumatic nebulizer in order to aerosolize medications for inhalation by the patient for respiratory disorders. The system is designed for use with paediatric (defined by the prescribed medication) and adult patients in the home, hospital, and sub-acute settings.The compressor forces air to the nebulizer. When the air enters the nebulizer, it converts the prescribed medication into an aerosol of microscopic droplets that can easily be inhaled.
With a low sound level, the nebulizer allows for a very quiet and comfortable operation and the kit also features Omron’s Virtual Valve Technology. There is a nebulisation rate of 0.3ml per minute and the medication quantities are 2 – 7ml. The particle size (MMAD) is 3.0 μm and the sound is 46dB. This nebulizer is suitable for children and adults.
