ACCESSORIES -TECHNICAL FEATURES
NEBULIZER RAPIDFLAEM 2
The main characteristic of the double flow nebulizer consists of the two options for drug administration. With the first
option, i.e. cap B, nebulization is slower and the particles are smaller. This is recommended for treatment of the lower
respiratory tract, the smaller particle size combined with the increased administration time ensuring penetration of the
pulmonary alveoli. Under the second option, i.e. without cap B, the nebulization is faster and the aerosol particles larger.
It is therefore recommended for the treatment of the upper respiratory tract.
