Ultrasonic inhaler – humidifier SYSTAM DP 100+

SYSTAM DP100+ is a portable device. Depending on the accessories selected, it can be used for medical inhalation or humidification.

Aerosol therapy

An aerosol is a suspension of solid and liquid particles in a gas or gas mixture (e.g. air). Aerosols used in medicine are liquid medicines that are breathed by the patient through dedicated equipment. In the case of an apparatus used for irrigation, the aerosol is water droplets.

Working principle of ultrasonic technology

When subjected to very high-frequency vibrations, the quartz at the bottom of the container starts to emit ultrasonic waves. The waves travel through the liquid to the surface of the solution, creating a liquid film of very fine water droplets (cavitation). The size of the particles formed is proportional to the wavelength of the quartz (depending on the apparatus). And the inhalation density (the amount of particles formed or deposited) varies with the amplitude of the quartz

SYSTAM DP100+ for aerosol therapy The advantage of aerosol therapy over drug therapy: – The aerosol immediately reaches the right organ, making the treatment more effective – The bronchial epithelium has a good bioabsorption of the substances – Lower doses of drugs are needed – Less systemic absorption: the likelihood of side effects is minimised. Indications: asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchial pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiolitis, winter ailments, ENT diseases, sinusitis, rhinitis. Suitable for all types of patients: adults, children, infants (except neonates) with respiratory pathology requiring inhalation therapy. DP100+ aerosol therapy uses the patented Control’Dose® system, which guarantees maximum effectiveness: – Allows the spraying of very small volumes of the drug (2 to 8 ml) without dilution – Allows the spraying of a residual volume of 0.6 ml. During operation, the drug solution remains within the controlled dose volume and the drug particles produced are carried to the patient – Reduces the duration of the aerosol therapy session – Reduces patient involvement (especially in young patients) – Guarantees better control of treatment.

Irrigation

Irrigation is necessary due to the dryness of the compressed gases used in the hospital (oxygen therapy). It prevents drying of the bronchial mucosa and at the same time liquefies expectoration in case of bronchopulmonary infection. In a normal case, the patient’s upper respiratory tract is warmed and humidified by inhaled air. They also retain heat and moisture in the exhaled air. In ventilated patients, the upper airway is no longer functional in the case of anaesthesia (with a tracheal probe) or tracheotomy. Prolonged exposure to dry compressed gases may cause adverse effects including local inflammation of the trachea, decreased ciliary function, decreased secretions, decreased body temperature, decreased cardiopulmonary function, increased risk of tracheostomy tube blockage… Irrigation is mainly obtained in the hospital environment by the production of aerosols (sprays, microsprays) in the hospital environment from an ultrasonic nebulizer, with particle sizes ranging from 0.5 to 6 µm, optimally sized to reach the tracheobronchial space as well as cavities. For the patient’s convenience, it may also be desirable to warm up the compressed gas prior to irrigation sessions.

SYSTAM DP100+ for irrigation The advantages of a single-patient closed system with no direct contact with the device: – Controlled hygiene, reduced risk of contamination, patient safety – Universal system can be used with many types of bottles (500 ml or 1000 ml with screw cap or puncture cap), which simplifies inventory management and facilitates the work of the nurses – Time-saving and reduction of the cost of treatment Indications: tracheostomy, tracheostomy, trauma palliative care, neonatology, bronchiolitis, bronchopneumonia.

The instrument can be stored on a special mobile stand with a shelf that is adjustable in height from 55 cm to 93 cm, and is designed for convenient storage of the instrument and accessories. Easily washed and disinfected. Integrated brake system.
