HOW TO USE THE RF9 NEBULISER WITH PARTICLE SIZE REGULATOR AND VALVE
SYSTEM
It is professional, quick, recommended for administering all types of medicinal products,
even in patients with chronic diseases. The valve system optimises the dispensing of the
nebulised medicinal product to the patient and limits its dispersion in the environment.
Moreover, thanks to the particle size regulator, the size of nebulised particles can be select-
ed based on the respiratory system area where the medication is to be delivered. Indeed,
with the 4 available modes, the bowl can dispense particles of different sizes:
