Kendall Aerodyne Omega Plus Starter Package

The model Kendall Aerodyne Omega Plus is a high-performance model from human medicine and is available from us at an unbeatable price. Only while supplies last.

Ultrasonic nebulizers are used to treat all diseases of the respiratory tract, of various origins. The nebulization is done by mechanical vibrations of 1.7 MHz (medical ultrasonic nebulizers), which are generated in distilled water (contact water). These vibrations are produced by piezoceramic components that convert electrical vibrations into mechanical ones. To physically separate the medical nebulizer from the nebulization unit, an aquapak® system is used in the contact liquid. The mechanical vibrations penetrate its base and spread in the inhalation liquid.

They cause the formation of capillary waves on the surface of the NaCl/medication solution, which rise exponentially with increasing excitation frequency.

This device operates with a capacity of up to 4ml/min. For normally sized horses, 4 ml/min is completely sufficient. They reach both the upper and lower respiratory tracts. This distinguishes ultrasonic nebulizers from the technically simpler compressor nebulizers, as the functional main part of the respiratory tract with its very large surface area (bronchial system, alveolar system of the lungs) is fully reached.

Over 95% of the surface of the respiratory system is located below the larynx. The bronchial system has bronchi in its finest branches with the diameter of a human hair, and a targeted application of nebulized substances must pass a threshold smaller than 5/1000 mm (5 microns) to reach the structures of the alveoli (lung sacs).
From this it follows that the main portion of the nebulized particles must be under 5 microns in size.

The ultrasonic nebulizer of the Kendall Aerodyne Omega Plus operates with a vibration frequency of the ceramic membrane of 1.7 MHz. This produces durable particles in a size range of 0.5 – 6 µm (microns).
Due to the high ventilation speeds in the fine bronchioles, effective inhalation must be calm, i.e., with a low breathing frequency. The animal should not be moved beforehand, and immediate movement of the animal after treatment is not advisable.

The open mask:

Our mask for inhalation is a PE bucket shape made of high-quality and food-safe plastic, without additional valves. We deliberately do not use closed masks where the animal has to inhale the mist. Our mist is delivered into the mask through a ventilation system. Have you ever done a lung function test? If so, you may know how unpleasant it is to breathe against resistance. Imagine that for 10-20 minutes! Our conviction is: If the horse breathes stress-free, it breathes correctly. Through stress-free and calm breathing, the air speed is lower and the aerosols can better reach the mucous membranes. The finest bronchioles of the lower respiratory tract represent the largest area to be nebulized. Our inhalers bring the inhalate into the mask. The horse can calmly exhale the mist and the treatment is more successful.

Inhale during movement?

We do not recommend that! When we move, our breathing becomes faster and shallower. This can result in the content not sufficiently depositing in the finest bronchioles. We recommend inhalation while standing. Movement after inhalation with a time delay (15 min) is not a problem and can be beneficial. Basically, horses must be exercised, but not in direct combination with inhalation.

"We provide a warranty of 12 months from the date of purchase for the device purchased from us. The ultrasonic unit is excluded from this, as it is considered a wear part and is not covered by warranty. Hard impacts, extreme temperatures, and
Mechanical damage to the surfaces leads to rapid aging or sudden failure.

Since the ultrasound unit is a consumable part, it must be replaced at irregular intervals depending on usage and maintenance. Usually, a change is necessary after 12-24 months.
