Kendall Aerodyne Omega Plus Starter Package Human Medicine

The Kendall Aerodyne Omega Plus model originates from the field of human medicine and is designed as an ultrasonic nebulizer for aerosol generation. The device is available from us – only while supplies last.

The nebulization is carried out by mechanical vibrations at a frequency of 1.7 MHz, which are generated in distilled water (contact water). This is achieved by piezoceramic components that convert electrical energy into mechanical vibrations. To physically separate the nebulizer from the nebulization unit, an aquapak® system is used within the contact liquid. The vibrations are transmitted through its base and then spread into the inhalation liquid.

Fine capillary waves form on the surface of the NaCl or inhalation solution, which increase with frequency and enable the formation of an aerosol.

The device achieves a nebulization rate of up to 4 ml/min and produces a fine aerosol for inhalation use. The generated particles can distribute in different areas of the respiratory tract depending on particle size, breathing technique, and application situation.

Compared to simple compressor nebulizers, an ultrasonic nebulizer works with high-frequency mechanical vibrations, allowing a fine particle spectrum to be produced. For applications in respiratory inhalation, particle sizes under 5 µm are described in the literature.

The bronchial system has very fine branches with extremely small diameters. Therefore, particle size plays an important role in transporting aerosol particles to different areas of the respiratory tract. The Kendall Aerodyne Omega Plus operates with a ceramic membrane frequency of 1.7 MHz and produces particles in a size range of approximately 0.5 to 6 µm.

For the most even aerosol distribution possible, calm and relaxed breathing during use is recommended. This allows the generated aerosol to be inhaled evenly.
