Omron Ultrasonic Inhaler is a unique medical device that is designed for professional use, and it can also be used at home. In the consumer market, this device is very popular.
Operating principle
The principle of operation is to influence the pharmaceutical composition of high-frequency waves. As a result, the medicine breaks up into tiny particles. Through a spray, a special mask or nozzle, they penetrate into the respiratory tract in the form of steam. The particle size is 0.5-10 microns.
Application features
In the package for each ultrasonic inhaler "Omron" an operating manual is attached, with which you should familiarize yourself with the first use. These devices can be used without prior consultation with a doctor, but if instead of medicinal formulations saline or mineral water will be used.
It is strictly forbidden to use medications without prescription. Only a doctor, in accordance with the diagnosis, is able to prescribe the right medicine and its proper dosage.
Before you have to do inhalation, you need to inspect the device to make sure that it is intact. If it is clean and intact, remove the lid from the container into which the drug is poured. Basically, the drug is dissolved in saline. There are measuring marks in the container, therefore it is necessary to ensure that the volume of the poured product does not exceed the maximum level. Pour the medicine, install everything as indicated in the instructions, and then you can proceed with the procedure. Unlike compressor devices, inhalation with an ultrasonic nebulizer can be carried out at any angle. Once the procedure is completed, the removable parts are rinsed with running water and allowed to dry.
