  • Descripción del producto
    AirLife Nebulizer Heater, Catalog Code 2M8021 || The AirLife Nebulizer Heater is part of the heated nebulizer system intended to provide warm bland aerosol therapy to respiratory patients. The system is used in conjunction with a standard oxygen flowmeter, which by providing pressurized oxygen powers the nebulizer creating ultra-fine particles in the therapeutic aerosol. The heater warms the solution before it reaches the aerosol jet in the nebulizer and heats the dilution air before it is entrained into the aerosol stream. An aluminum heat exchanger on the nebulizer cap transfers the thermal energy to a nebulizer solution bottle warming the solution prior to aerosolizing.
