Special Note: If a small gas compressor is used for the gas source to run the nebulizer, the student will plug the device to electricity and turn it on when ready. The device will deliver a set flowrate which cannot be adjusted to run the nebulizer. This device is routinely used in the home for nebulizers and flowmeters used in the hospital/acute care setting.
