The Philips Respironics SideStream nebulizer cup is highly efficient, as it is designed to introduce more air through an active Venturi system, achieving faster medication delivery in a shorter treatment time.

Depending on the aerosol device used, the cup may have the following characteristics:

• Minimum flow: 6 l/min:
  • Particle size (MMAD): 2.9 µm
  • Nebulization rate: 0.09 ml/min
  • Fine particle fraction
  • Output rate: 146.6 µg
  • Delivered dose: 986.7 µg
  • Delivered respirable dose: 759.76 µg
• Maximum flow: 8 l/min:
  • Particle size (MMAD): 3.1 µm
  • Nebulization rate: 0.15 ml/min

The active Venturi system of the SideStream enhances aerosol production, ensuring that 77% of the medication output volume is under 5 microns, with five jets instead of one, producing aerosol, offering additional airflow, and speeding up treatment time. The SideStream cup can deliver 2.5 ml of medication in 7 minutes.

The Sidestream nebulizer cup is intended for all Philips Respironics aerosol devices.
