<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>The Aeroneb Go® - a silent, portable, vibrating mesh nebuliser manufactured by Aerogen and utilising a horizontal mesh containing 1,000 holes obtained by electrolysis, and vibrates at 100 kHz.
The Aeroneb Go is a single patient use device for patients to use at home, at work and when travelling.
The Aeroneb Go has been designed for the efficient delivery of commonly inhaled medications including Bronchodilators, Inhaled Antibiotics and Pulmozyme* (rhDNase), particularly in the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis.
Aerogen's OnQ® Aerosol Generator is a wafer-thin electronic micro-pump which uses no compressed air, generates negligible heat and efficiently nebulises solutions, suspensions, proteins and peptides.
The mesh and the other alloy components in the Aeroneb Go are coated with "Nickel Palladium" which is completely resistant to corrosion; therefore the Aeroneb Go is suitable for use with Hypertonic Saline.
In an independent validation study, the Aeroneb Go delivered 2.5ml of Pulmozyme* (rhDNase) with an inhaled mass of 798 micro grams at a particle size (MMAD) of 4.5 microns within 4.4 minutes.
The Aeroneb Go consists of a hand-held nebuliser and a separate battery pack and an AC power adapter.
Unlike conventional nebulisers, the Aeroneb Go runs completely silently allowing for discreet operation.
