The SideStream nebulizer has been developed as a result of considerable research into aerosol therapy. They are suitable for nebulizing all commonly prescribed aerosol therapy medications, including antibiotics, bronchodilators, and steroids.
Reduced Treatment Duration:
Active Venturi of SideStream and the nebulizer top are designed to draw in additional air during inspiration. Added to the flow from the compressor, this additional air boosts aerosol output rate up to 16 l/min and reduces treatment times.
Consistent Delivery of High-Quality Aerosol Therapy:
SideStream keeps the driving air and the liquid drug separate. This, combined with the use of durable materials, enables reproducibility in performance between all individual units and minimizes the potential for wear and blockage.
Driving Gas = 6 l/min
Venturi Air Entrainment = 10 l/min
Aerosol Flow to Patient = 16 l/min

How does Philips Innospire Nebulizer work?
- In order to get relief from COPD, asthma, or any other respiratory ailment, getting medication into the lungs as quickly as possible is the best way to expedite relief.
- Rescue inhalers and MDIs (Metered Dose Inhalers) are ways to get medication into the lungs during an asthma attack, but some medications require the use of a nebulizer.
