Device for ultrasound aerosol therapy with
first rate design and maximum technology
characterized by an extreme silentness. The
aerosol therapy is efficient for the treatment
of pulmonary disorders, tracheitis, asthma,
bronchitis, sinusitis and allergies; moreover , it
can alleviate the disorders caused by colds and
allergic irritations and mitigate the stimulus of
cough, pain and sense of compression in the area
of the paranasal sinuses easing the expectoration.
It is excellent for domestic purposes, practical
and simple to use and requires no maintenance.
It is manufactured in compliance with current EC
standards concerning constructive criteria, for the
safety of equipment for electromedical use (EN
60601-1 Standard).
Through the ultrasound aerosol the preparations
for inhalations are transform ed by the oscillation
of a piezoelectric crystal present within the
device, in micro-drops of liquid dispersed in air .
These drops, having sizes included within 1
and 5 µm, succeed in penetrat ing deeply into
the upper and lower respiratory tract, bringing
therefore the active ingredients to the right places
and in a targeted way . It is not recommended to
use drugs with oily base, active ingredients with
solid elements (suspensions), viscous solutions
and ethereal oils.
Its reduced dimensions make this product
extremely accessible for those who require to
use it several times a day and for those who travel
often. Doctor's instructions should always
be followed for the type of pharmaceutical
to be used, the dose, frequency and
duration of the inhalation treatments.
