Features of the Product Aerosol= Nebulised medication About the principle of nebulisation in the NE-U17 ➀ The NE-U17 transmits the energy of ultrasonic vibration from the vibrator located at the bottom of the water tank into water. ➁ The ultrasonic vibration is transmitted to the medication in the medication cup through the water in the water tank. ➂ The ultrasonic vibration emits medication from the medication cup (like a fountain) and this is dispersed as aerosol.
