The correct steps to use an atomizer are:
1. Add 250ml of cold distilled water to the water tank, and the liquid level should be about 3cm high to immerse the sound-transmitting membrane at the bottom of the atomizer tank.
2. Put the medicinal solution into the atomizer tank, dilute it to 30~50ml, tighten the tank lid, put the atomizer tank into the water tank, and close the tank lid tightly.
3. Prepare all the supplies and bring them to the bedside, check them, and explain them to the patient to obtain cooperation.
4. Turn on the power, turn on the power switch first, the red indicator light will be on, preheat for 3 minutes, then turn on the atomization switch, the white indicator light will be on, and the liquid medicine will spray out in the form of mist.
5. Adjust the mist amount as needed (turn the switch from left to right, divided into 3 levels, the large level is 3ml per minute, the medium level is 2ml per minute, and the small level is 1ml per minute), generally Use mid-range.
6. When the patient inhales, cover the mouth and nose with the mask, and open it when exhaling; or put the "mouthpiece" into the patient's mouth and instruct him to close his lips tightly and inhale deeply.
7. During use, if the water temperature in the sink is found to exceed 60°C, you can replace it with cold distilled water. When changing the water, turn off the machine.
8. If it is found that there is too little liquid in the atomizer tank, which affects normal atomization, you should continue to increase the amount of medicine, but there is no need to shut down the machine, just inject it inward from the small hole on the cover. Generally, each use time is 15 to 20 minutes.
After treatment, turn off the atomizer switch first and then the power switch, otherwise the electronic tube will be easily damaged. Arrange supplies, drain the water from the sink, and dry the sink.
Extended information:
Ultrasonic energy can atomize water-soluble drugs into tiny mist particles of 1um to 5um at room temperature. Using water as the medium, the water-soluble drugs can be atomized using ultrasonic directional pressure. The liquid is sprayed into a mist, and with the help of the internal fan wind, the liquid is sprayed into the patient's airway, and then inhaled by the patient to directly act on the lesion. It is mainly used in internal medicine, surgery, ENT, pediatrics, etc.
When used correctly, the service life of the atomizer sheet is about 3,000 hours, and it is easy to replace. Its service life is also related to the quality of the water. If scale is deposited on the atomizer piece, please clean it with a soft cloth.
According to different water quality and purpose of use, different atomizers can be selected. For example, in areas with hard water quality, stainless steel-coated atomizers are used, and in environments requiring acid resistance, glass-glazed atomizers are used. piece.
The atomizer has an automatic water cut-off protection function. When the water level is lower than the water level switch, the atomizer will automatically stop working. When the atomizer is working, please do not put your hands above the atomizer. Due to high-frequency vibration, your hands will feel tingling, but this is not an electrical shock or leakage.
1. The ultrasonic generator outputs high-frequency electric energy after being powered on. The control regulators on the atomizer panel include a power switch, an atomization switch, and a mist volume adjustment knob.
2. Fill the sink with distilled water. There is a crystal transducer under the sink, which receives the frequency energy emitted by the generator and converts it into ultrasonic sound energy.
3. The atomizer tank (cup) holds the medicinal liquid. The translucent membrane at the bottom of the atomizer tank is a sound-transparent membrane. When the sound energy passes through this membrane and interacts with the liquid in the tank, mist droplets are sprayed out.
