Introduction The Aeroneb Solo System is an iteration of the Aeroneb ® ® Professional Nebulizer System. The indications for use of the Aeroneb Professional Nebulizer System are given ® below. The Aeroneb Solo System, which consists of the ® Aeroneb...
System description The Aeroneb Solo System (Figure 1) includes the following ® components: nebulizer unit (aerosol generator and plug), T-piece (adult)*, Aeroneb Pro-X control module, control cable, ® AC/DC adapter and mounting brackets. (Pedatric & neonate adapters and continuous nebulization tube set are sold separately).
Page 9
The T-piece securely connects the nebulizer unit into the breathing circuit. The T-piece connections are standard male and female 22mm conical ports and connect to standard patient breathing circuits. Aerogen recommends that the Aeroneb Solo ® nebulizer be used in conjunction with a relevant disposable T-piece supplied by Aerogen.

A universal mounting bracket clamps the control module to standard IV poles and medical rail systems. An equipment mount adapter mounts the control module on standard equipment mounts. Aeroneb Solo System Instruction Manual ®...
Warnings Read and study all instructions before using the Aeroneb Solo system. Only medical personnel should ® operate the device. Perform functional test prior to use to ensure correct operation (see page 30). This is a single patient use device not to be used on more than one patient to prevent cross infection.
Page 12
Do not use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture combined with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. Do not use the Aeroneb Solo in conjunction with the administration of volatile anaesthetics as this may have an adverse effect on the Aeroneb Solo nebuliser or T-piece plastics.
Follow local laws and recycling plans regarding disposal or recycling of components, batteries and packaging. The Aeroneb Solo nebulizer is designed for use in continuous ® mode only when used with the Aeroneb Pro –X controller. ® Do Not use the Aeroneb Pro Nebulizer in continuous mode.

Screw the nebulizer end of the tubing (8) onto the top of the nebulizer. Insert the syringe filled with medication into the syringe infusion pump (pump not shown in Figure 6). Turn on the continuous mode option on the Aeroneb ® Pro-X control module (refer to Aeroneb Solo System ®...
CAUTION: It is important to ensure that the maximum flow rate through the tube set into the nebulizer must not exceed the output rate of the nebulizer. Figure 6: Connecting tubing and syringe to the Aeroneb ® Solo for continuous nebulization...
Page 25
® Do not attempt to connect the tubing or syringe to any non-respiratory apparatus. The Aeroneb Solo system is intended to be used with ® physician-prescribed solutions for inhalation that are approved for use with a general purpose nebulizer. Check for leaks from the system prior to and during use.
Page 26
Aeroneb Solo nebulizer is turned off while the feed system is still on or the nebulizer is not in its recommended orientation. 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.
Always position ventilator circuits so that fluid condensate drains away from the patient. Always connect a bacteria filter to the expiratory inlet of the ventilator. Otherwise the function of the expiratory channel may be degraded. Aeroneb Solo System Instruction Manual ®...
