Aerogen Aeroneb Solo Repair

The Aeroneb Solo System is a nebulizer developed by Aerogen Ltd., an Irish company founded in 1997 that specializes in aerosol drug delivery technology. Aerogen’s devices are used in hospitals in 80 countries to deliver medications directly to patients’ lungs through inhalation therapy.

Nebulizers have a long history in respiratory medicine, evolving from simple hand-bulb atomizers in the mid-19th century to electrically powered models in the 20th century. The late 1990s marked a major advancement in aerosol technology with the introduction of vibrating mesh nebulizers. Aeroneb Solo System builds upon this technological progression.

The Aeroneb Solo System is the successor to the company’s Aeroneb Professional Nebulizer System, introducing a more compact design. It consists of two main parts: the Aeroneb Solo nebulizer, which converts liquid into a fine inhalable mist, and the Aeroneb Pro-X controller, which powers and regulates the nebulization process. Unlike pneumatic nebulizers that require compressed air, Aeroneb Solo System uses Aerogen’s patented OnQ Aerosol Generator, a vibrating mesh technology that creates aerosol particles quietly.

Designed for both mechanically ventilated and spontaneously breathing patients, the device can deliver medication to adults, children, and neonates. Being lightweight and portable, it can be used in emergency or transport settings.

The Aeroneb Solo is a compact device. It can be identified by its clear plastic housing, small reservoir cup measuring 67 millimeters in height, and a plug connection that links to the Aerogen Pro-X controller.

Aeroneb Solo can hold up to 6 ml of medication, leaving less than 10% of the dosage residue, and its weight is 13.5 grams for both the unit and its plug. Model and part numbers are usually printed on the packaging, and “Aeroneb Solo” is visible on the unit itself.
