Introduction
®
The Aeroneb Professional Nebulizer System is a portable
medical device for multiple patient use that is intended to
aerosolize physician-prescribed medications for inhalation that
are approved for use with a general purpose nebulizer. This
device can be used by patients on and off mechanical
ventilation or other positive pressure breathing assistance.
Aeroneb® Pro is suitable for use by neonate, pediatric to adult
patients as described in this manual. It is a latex-free medical
device for continuous nebulization that incorporates the
Aerogen® OnQTM Aerosol Generator.
Aeroneb® Pro is designed to operate in-line with standard
ventilator circuits and mechanical ventilators in acute and
subacute care environments. It operates without changing
patient ventilator parameters and can be refilled without
interrupting ventilation.
The control module operates from the AC/DC adapter and can
be operated on its internal rechargeable battery for up to
45 minutes. The product operates without compressed gas,
making it suitable for portable applications.

2 Aeroneb Professional Nebulizer System Instruction Manual
1. The nebulizer unit holds up to 10 mL of liquid
medication. The nebulizer unit is translucent to allow
visual monitoring of medication levels and
aerosolization. When the nebulizer unit is connected
into the breathing circuit, the filler cap can be opened
or removed from the nebulizer unit without causing
loss of circuit pressure.
Within the nebulizer unit is an OnQTM Aerosol
Generator, which consists of a domed aperture plate
with precision-formed holes that control the size of the
aerosol droplets and a vibrational element that creates
micro-pumping action to aerosolize medication.
Gravity brings the medication in contact with the
aerosol generator; the liquid is then drawn through the
aperture plate and converted into an aerosol.
2. The T-adapter securely connects the nebulizer unit
into the breathing circuit and can be easily removed
for cleaning. The T-adapter connections are standard
male and female 22 mm ISO conical ports and
connect to standard patient breathing circuits.
3,4,5. The control module can operate from the AC/DC
adapter or the internal rechargeable battery. The
control module includes an on/off power button and
sockets for the control module cable and the AC/DC
adapter. The control module also includes indicators
for nebulization cycle selection (15 or 30 minutes),
battery charge status and fault conditions.
6. A universal mounting bracket clamps the control
module to standard IV poles and medical rail systems.
7. An equipment mount adapter mounts the control
module on standard equipment mounts.
Pediatric T-adapter, neonate adapters, mask adapter kits,

elbow connectors and mouthpiece are sold separately.

Installation for use with a ventilator
1. For adult breathing circuits, connect the nebulizer unit
with adult T-adapter into the inspiratory limb of the
breathing circuit before the patient wye (Figure 6).
For pediatric breathing circuits, connect the nebulizer
unit with pediatric T-adapter into the inspiratory limb of
the breathing circuit before the patient wye (Figure 7).
For neonatal breathing circuits, connect the nebulizer
unit with the pediatric T-adapter and the neonate
adapters approximately 30cm (12 in.) back from the
patient wye (Figure 8). Or alternatively connect the
nebulizer with the Neonate T-adapter either at the patient
wye or 30cm (12 in.) back from the patient wye (figure 9).
WARNING:
Always maintain the nebulizer in a vertical orientation
(with the filler cap uppermost) while in the patient circuit
(Figures 6, 7 and 8). This orientation prevents
condensate from blocking the nebulizer and ensures
proper nebulization. Always visually inspect the nebulizer
prior to placing in the ventilator circuit to assure that no
secretions are blocking the OnQTM Aerosol Generator.
When removing the nebulizer unit from the patient circuit
always replace the T-adapter plug to maintain circuit
pressure.
Condensate can collect and occlude ventilator circuits.
Always position ventilator circuits so that fluid condensate
drains away from the patient.
