Intermittent Nebulization (Option 2)

The Aerogen Solo can be placed between the ventilator and the dry side of the humidifier. Figure B illustrates a
set up for the Aerogen Solo at the dry side of the humidifier. The Aerogen Solo can be used with a nasal interface
in this configuration.
The Aerogen Solo can be placed between the wye and endotracheal tube as shown in Figure C. The Aerogen
Solo can be used with a Heat and Moisture Exchange Device (HME) which may contain a filter.
Only a HME approved for use with a nebulizer should be used in this configuration (Figure D). Follow the HME
manufacturer instructions regarding use with a nebulizer. Ensure the combination of nebulizer, T‑piece and/or
HME volumes is suitable for the tidal volume being delivered. Adult T‑piece volume = 34.3 mL and Pediatric
