We’re in the middle of winter, a time when colds, sore throats and respiratory disorders are more common. In these cases, the domestic aerosol machine is a valuable tool because it enables the medication to be nebulised and delivered directly to the respiratory tract.
Treatment can be administered using a mask that covers the nose and mouth, a mouthpiece that is placed in the mouth, or a nasal accessory. The choice depends on the area to be treated and the user’s age. For children in particular, the nebuliser makes it easier to take the medicine and ensures correct inhalation.
In our personal care range, G3 Ferrari offers the G30056 nebuliser: a compact, quiet device designed to provide effective respiratory treatment for the whole family.
How the aerosol machine works
The machine turns liquid medicine into a cloud of super-fine particles that, when inhaled, reach the respiratory tract directly. It is intended for use in treating conditions involving the nose, throat, bronchial tubes and lungs, such as allergies, sinusitis and bronchitis.
It is easy to use. The medicine is placed in the bowl and is sometimes diluted with a saline solution. The device breaks the liquid down into microdroplets and conveys them towards the mask or mouthpiece. These particles can reach even the deepest parts of the respiratory system.
The G30056 uses an oil-free piston pump to nebulise the liquid, which does not require lubrication or maintenance. It operates at a pressure between 12 and 14.5 psi and a flow rate of 8–10 litres per minute, providing efficient and consistent nebulisation. The particles have a breathable diameter of between 0.5 and 5 µm (MMAD 3–5 µm), making them suitable for both the upper and lower respiratory tracts.
How to choose the domestic aerosol
Before purchasing an aerosol device, you should consider who will use it, how frequently, and for which therapies.
Size and weight
For daily home use, practicality and user-friendliness are important. A compact device is easy to move from room to room and is also easier for children to use. The G30056 measures 14.5 x 9.5 x 15 cm and weighs 1.17 kg, making it compact and easy to place on a surface or store.
Ultrasonic piston
Piston aerosols use a compressor to push air into the liquid, transforming it into very fine particles. They are versatile and suitable for several medicines, including denser or suspension medicines. Ultrasonic models use high-frequency vibrations and are generally quieter, but are not suitable for all solutions, especially denser ones or those that are heat sensitive. The G30056 is a piston model which combines versatility with acoustic comfort, as it produces a noise level of less than 60 dBA.
Included accessories
A good nebuliser must come with all the necessary accessories. The mask, mouthpiece and bowl allow the therapy to be adapted to different needs. The G30056 comes with an adult mask, a child’s mask, a connecting pipe, a mouthpiece, a spray bottle and five filters, so it is ready to use straight away.
Technical parameters
Technical details also affect the quality of the treatment. The operating pressure affects the capacity to nebulise the medicine: the flow determines the speed of delivery; the tank capacity (6–8 ml in the case of the G30056) enables an adequate dose to be administered without interruption during the session.
How to clean and store the device correctly
To keep an aerosol device efficient, it doesn’t require difficult maintenance, but it’s necessary to take some precautions for safe use and to maintain the device’s efficiency over time.
After each use, it is necessary to wash the accessories. The bowl can be washed with water and liquid soap. It should be washed carefully and can be disinfected by boiling it in water for 8 minutes or by using an autoclave. The mask and mouthpiece can be washed in the same way and disinfected with a cold solution. Before putting everything away, we recommend drying it carefully.
The main unit should be stored in a dry place, away from sources of heat and direct light. For external cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with water and neutral detergent is sufficient. It is important not to use solvents and never to immerse the device in water. The air filter should be checked periodically and replaced after around 30 hours of use, or when it starts to turn grey. The G30056 box contains five spare filters.
How long should an aerosol session last for it to be effective?
Generally, an effective aerosol session should last between 5 and 15 minutes. Within this timeframe, the device will nebulise almost all of the solution in the bowl. You can continue until the delivery becomes weak or stops. The precise timing varies based on the type of medicine, the quantity in the bowl, and the power of the device, so it is best to always follow the doctor’s instructions.
Please note that the G3 Ferrari device is designed for continuous use of up to 30 minutes. Even if a single session rarely exceeds this time, it is a limit that should be respected to avoid overheating and ensure the device functions correctly over time.
Which medicines should be used with the domestic aerosol?
The domestic aerosol is a medical device and should always be used in accordance with the doctor’s instructions. The type of medicine and the size of the particles determine where the therapy will act. Generally, larger particles settle in the upper airways, such as the nose and paranasal sinuses, while finer particles reach the bronchi and the deepest areas of the lungs.
Therapies can include saline solutions to hydrate and clean mucous membranes, mucolytics to thin phlegm, bronchodilators to ease breathing, and corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. Antibiotics can be prescribed by a doctor for bacterial infections, if needed.
The most common use is for colds: in these cases, you can use isotonic solutions to clean the mucous membranes or hypertonic solutions to reduce congestion. These can be enriched with hydrating or lenitive substances, such as hyaluronic acid or aloe vera, or with mucolytics.
However, medicines can never be used without a medical prescription.
Although the aerosol is easy to use, it must be chosen and used carefully. Understanding the technical features, accessories, and maintenance requirements helps you to make an informed purchase and use the device correctly over time.
