Design for kids
This category includes nebulisers made in a characteristic
"childish" design. Such a design may include bright colours, additional decorative details (for example, in the form of figurines) and even the original shape of the entire body of the nebuliser — in the form of an animal, a fairy-tale castle, etc. Also included are models that are regularly produced in the "adult" version, but also have a "childish" colour version.
Nebulization rate
The nebuliser's nebulization capacity per minute.
The ideal nebulization rate can differ based on factors such as the patient's health condition, the type of disease, and the composition of the inhaled medication, as outlined in medical guidelines. This rate is crucial in assessing the inhaler's effectiveness for specific situations and also influences how long the device operates on a single medication refill.
Some models have a nebulization speed control — in such cases, the maximum value is usually indicated in the characteristics.
Particle size
The aerosol generated by a nebuliser contains droplets of varying sizes. Smaller droplets have an easier time reaching the narrow passages of the bronchi, delivering the medicinal substance deeper into the respiratory system. For optimal therapeutic effects, it is recommended that droplet sizes do not surpass 5 microns. It's worth noting that during the atomization process, particles may vary in size, and their values are often expressed as a range.
Case included
Availability in a set of delivery of an nebuliser of a
case for storage and carrying. The cover provides a certain degree of protection against adverse effects — scratches, bumps, temperature changes, etc. Most often, it can also accommodate additional accessories, primarily nozzles — this reduces the risk of losing any accessory, and, in general, simplifies storage and transportation. This possibility is especially important for pocket models (refer to "Purpose"), the dimensions of which do not allow a special compartment to be provided in the case (see above).
Note that this category also includes models in which the cover is intended only for accessories, and not for the nebuliser itself.
