INTRODUCTION
Be sure to read these instructions fully before use.
Thank you for purchasing the Aeroneb®Go Nebulizer. Certain
conditions such as asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease) and cystic brosis require that prescribed
liquid medication be turned into a ne mist, called an aerosol,
and then inhaled into the lungs. The Aeroneb® Go turns liquid
medication into an aerosol, which you can then inhale through
a mouthpiece or an aerosol mask into your lungs.
The Aeroneb® Go uses the unique OnQ™ Aerosol Generator,
which is unlike any other nebulizer technology available.
When you turn on your nebulizer, OnQ pumps liquid through
tiny holes in a wafer-thin metal plate to create a soft mist
aerosol.
The Aeroneb®Go, for use by paediatric and adult patients,
is intended to aerosolize physician-prescribed solutions for
inhalation that are approved for use with a general-purpose
nebulizer.
Designed with your needs in mind, the Aeroneb®Go is
portable, lightweight, compact and silent. The control module
operates with three (3) “AA” disposable or rechargeable
batteries (not included), or can alternatively be powered by
the AC/DC adapter.
