Ultrasound technology
2.3
An aerosol is generated in the ultrasonic nebulizer due to the
Special
vibrations of a piezoelectric crystal. Thus, electric energy is
features
transformed into mechanical oscillations which create droplets. The
of the
optimum diameter of the droplets is 1 - 5 μm (according to
MEDISANA
"Guidelines for the aerosol therapy of lung diseases", Lungenliga
IN 525
Schweiz). The droplets can only penetrate into the narrow branches
of the upper and lower airways if they have a small diameter thus
transporting and depositing the medicine where it is intended to be
most effective.

• The MEDISANA IN 525 ultrasonic inhaler is suitable for
medica-
use with all common aerosol products (aerosols) with
tions
the exception of:
- Products with solid constituents (suspensions)
- Viscous solutions (high viscosity)
- Volatile oils
• Do not use any volatile oils since this may lead to
damage to the nebulizer mesh.
• Use only water-soluble products/medicines or those
which have an alcohol base.
• Use only isotonic saline solution to dilute the inhalant;
otherwise bronchial spasms may occur in certain
circumstances.
• Do not use oil-based inhalants.
• After using the device for salt solution inhalation, it
