To avoid damage to the nebulizer: • Do not apply undue pressure to the domed aperture plate in the center of the nebulizer. • Do not push out the vibrating mesh aerosol generator. • Do not use a syringe with a needle to add medication. •...
Assembly & Installation Aeroneb Solo System Set-Up Perform a functional test of the Aeroneb Solo before use as described in the Functional Test section of this manual (See page 18). Figure 2. Assembly of Aeroneb Solo System 1. Connect the Aeroneb Solo to the T-piece by pushing the nebulizer firmly onto the T-piece.

Recharging the Battery To recharge the battery, connect the AC/DC adapter to the controller and connect to AC power source. The battery status indicator is amber while charging and green when fully charged. If the controller is placed in long-term storage, it is recommended that the battery be recharged every 3 months.
For 15mm pediatric breathing circuits connect the nebulizer with the pediatric T-piece into the inspiratory limb of the breathing circuit before the patient Y. The Aeroneb Solo can connect to 10mm pediatric breathing circuits with the 15mm pediatric T-piece and the pediatric adapters. This can be positioned approximately 30 cm (12 in.) back from the patient Y (Figure 6).

2. The Aeroneb Solo can be placed on the dry side of the humidifier as shown in Figure 7. The Aeroneb Solo can be used with a nasal interface in this configuration. Figure 7. Aeroneb Solo on dry side of humidifier 3.
Figure 8. Connecting to a mask Use with a Mouthpiece The Aeroneb Solo is compatible with any standard ISO 22 mm nebulizer mouthpiece inserted into the adult T-piece. When using a mouthpiece, connect the nebulizer to the T-piece and then connect the T-piece to the mouthpiece by pushing the parts firmly together as shown in Figure 9.
Page 15
Note: The mouthpiece should not be used for children under 5 years of age. The Aeroneb Solo Adapter is a single patient use device with a validated defined life • In intermittent use for a maximum of 20 treatments; which is based upon a typical usage profile of four 3ml doses per day over 5 days, with an average treatment time of 9 minutes.

A facemask is not provided. Inspect for device integrity and correct valve placement prior to use. 1. Insert Aeroneb Solo nebulizer firmly into Adapter in orientation shown in Figure 10. 2. If supplemental oxygen is required, firmly attach oxygen tubing to Adapter.
Nebulization Modes Intermittent Mode Warnings • To avoid damage to the Aeroneb Solo, do not use a syringe with needle. • During use observe for correct functioning of the nebulizer. • The maximum capacity of the nebulizer is 6 mL.

4. Prime the tubing until the medication reaches end of tubing (Point A). Note: The tubing priming volume is maximum 3.65 mL. 5. Unplug the tethered cap from the Aeroneb Solo nebulizer, but do not remove it from the nebulizer.
Page 19
• The level of the medication in the reservoir of the Aeroneb Solo nebulizer should be periodically monitored to ensure that the fill rate of medication does not exceed the output rate of the nebulizer.
Page 20
Functional Test Perform a functional test of the Aeroneb Solo System prior to first use or at any time to verify proper operation. This test is to be carried out prior to inserting the neb into a circuit or accessory.
Aeroneb Solo Aerosol Flow Rate Calculation Flow rates may vary between individual Aeroneb Solo nebulizers. The minimum flow rate for all Aeroneb Solo nebulizers is 0.2 mL per minute. In order to calculate the flow rate of an individual Aeroneb Solo nebulizer: 1.

The temperature of the medication will not rise more than 10°C (18°F) above ambient during normal use. Table 8 shows the results of aerosol performance testing for the Aeroneb Solo using an 8 stage cascade impactor running at a continuous flow rate of 28.3 LPM. Indicated ranges correspond to confidence intervals with a confidence level of 95%.
