Nebulizer Systems

Particle Size Direction Velocity
Passive-Diffusion Nebulizers (SinuNeb) Smaller particles (3 µm) Constant direction Slower velocity
Vortex-Propelled Nebulizers (ViaNase) Larger particles (9–11 µm) Multiple directions Faster velocity
Pulsating Aerosol Delivery Device (PARI Sinus) Smaller particles (3 µm) Aerosol stream superimposed by a pulsation Very slow velocity (3–6 L/minute)
