Abstract:

The Timer For Nebulizer Compressor provides a shatterproof plastic casing which houses the unit motor and a piston driven or comparable compressor. Associated accessories such as a mouthpiece, medicine cup and elongated, flexible tubing are also included. The Timer For Nebulizer Compressor runs on standard AC power and can be connected to any power outlet. The novel feature of the Timer For Nebulizer Compressor however, is found in the previously mentioned timer. This timer is directly connected to the unit's shut off valve. As such, a therapist simply prepares the unit for use, at which point the timer is set for the time period required to administer the designated course of treatment. When the treatment was complete and the allotted time had passed, the timer is activated, automatically shutting the nebulizer off and thus preventing the unit from overheating.
