TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. MAIN SPECIFICATIONS
The NOMAD ® NexGen has been designed and developed as a handy, lightweight and portable nebuliser
therapy system. Its main feature is practicality in use, especially for travellers and those who require nebuliser
therapy away from home and frequently. The NOMAD
® NexGen can be operated from mains voltage, through
the car lighter socket in cars, caravans, boats or from its own rechargeable battery (battery purchased as
a separate item).
The NOMAD
® NexGen nebuliser system is complemented by a new-generation jet nebuliser bowl which
features a high nebuliser output performance, optimal particle size to ensure deep penetration into the lungs
and a non-spill feature that ensures no loss of medication if the nebuliser is accidentally dropped.
