Aerogen Solo
Effectiveness
Aerogen facilitates effective medication delivery across multiple respiratory modalities3-8†
- In studies, ~4x more drug deposition was achieved with Aerogen during IMV,†3,4 NIV‡5, and HF,6 and ~6x more drug deposition during SV‡7 versus jet nebulisers
†When placed 15 cm from the Y-Piece in a heated setting; in-vitro model
‡Study performed in healthy subjects
Patient care
Aerogen improves patient care in response to aerosolised medication9-11
In studies assessing bronchodilator delivery across several respiratory modalities, Aerogen Solo, when compared with jet nebulisers, was associated with:
- Improvements in lung function in patients undergoing NIV†9
- Comparable bronchodilator efficacy‡ during HF10
- Reductions in hospital admission rates, emergency department median length of stay, and in the number of treatments and time required to achieve symptom control§ in SV patients¶11
†Between-group difference in FEV1, FVC, breathlessness score, RR, and PaCO2 from baseline to 120 minutes in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD
‡As defined by relative increase in FEV1 in patients with reversible obstructive lung disease
§Defined as achieving a mild asthma score following an asthma exacerbation
¶When used in conjunction with Aerogen Ultra
Workflow
Aerogen simplifies the workflow
- Aerogen Solo is a closed-circuit aerosol drug delivery system,2 which eliminates the need to open the circuit when administering medication during IMV or NIV
- Aerogen Solo delivers integrated aerosol delivery with HF and can be used in conjunction with Aerogen Ultra for aerosol drug delivery in SV patients2
- Aerogen Solo is intended for the aerosolisation of physician-prescribed medications for inhalation which are approved for use with a general purpose nebuliser2
- One system can be used throughout a patient's respiratory journey (IMV, NIV, HF, SV),2 supporting continuity of care
