PARI - Model LC SPRINT Family -Nebulisers for Specific Aerosol Droplet Sizes
The aerosol that a nebuliser produces consists of many small droplets. The size of these droplets determine where the aerosol will be deposited in the airways. The nebulisers of the PARI LC SPRINT family are tailored with different nozzle baffles (inserts) in a range of colours, which generate different droplet sizes. Easy to clean.
Measurement with the Malvern Mastersizer X at 23 °C, 50 % relative humidity, nebulised medium: 0.9 % NaCl (5 ml). Subject to technical changes.
- For the PARI LC SPRINT Nebuliser, PARI LC SPRINT STAR Nebuliser measured with an adult inspiratory flow of 20 L/min.
- For the PARI LC SPRINT BABY Nebuliser (sizes 0 – 3) measured with an infant inspiratory flow of 6 L/min.
- For the PARI LC SPRINT Junior Nebuliser and the PARI LC SPRINT Junior Package measured with a child inspiratory flow of 12 L/min.
- For the PARI LC SPRINT Sinus Nebuliser measured with the Malvern Spraytec at 23 °C, 50 % relative humidity. Nebulised medium: 0.9 % NaCl (5 ml), jet flow 4.6 L/min.
Training for effective treatment
Controlled inhalation promotes the deposition of the active ingredients in the lungs. To achieve the best possible technique for a high level of lung deposition, PARI has developed a breath-sensing feedback system – the PIF Control System.
- PIF = Peak Inspiratory Flow
- In the event of inhaling too deeply, the inspiratory valve closes the nebuliser chamber to a small opening.
- You feel this as resistance – a sign to breathe out and then inhale more slowly with the next breath. Repeat until no more resistance can be felt.
