AirLife™ Brand Misty Max 10™ Disposable Nebulizers
Our AirLife™ brand Misty Max 10™ disposable nebulizers deliver fast and effective treatment to a wide range of patients. They feature a one-piece jet design that delivers high output rates, resulting in faster treatment times and consistent medication delivery. A full 10 cc capacity provides medication dosing flexibility. The antispill design helps prevent medication waste and allows the unit to be used at an angle to accommodate various patient positions.
Nebulizer with bacteria filter 002450 provides protection and convenience through its utilization of a reservoir and one-way valves for administration of medicated aerosol. The aerosol is contained within the nebulizer system instead of freely flowing into the surrounding air.
The chart below provides the in vitro performance characteristics of the AirLife™ brand Misty Max 10™ nebulizer. In vitro measurements will help guide the end user as to the likelihood of effective delivery of inhaled medication to the lower respiratory tract.
Sidestream® High-Efficiency Nebulizers

AirLife™ Tee Adapters
Constructed of clear, break-resistant plastic.
AirLife™ Valved Tee Adapters
Our Valved Tee adapters make it easy to deliver aerosolized medication to your ventilator patients. Used in conjunction with a nebulizer, the Valved Tee adapter offers a safe and convenient way to introduce medication into the circuit.
Unlike other tee adapters that require time-consuming and potentially hazardous breaks in the system, the Valved Tee adapter becomes a permanent part of the ventilator circuit. Its spring-loaded valve opens and closes the circuit during nebulizer insertion and removal.
Because the adapter maintains a closed system, the risk of condensate being accidently sprayed into the air is greatly reduced. Choose from three sizes for placement at different locations in the circuit. With spring-loaded valve and cap. Include 18 mm base.
AirLife™ Infant Nebulizer Tees
Our AirLife™ infant nebulizer tees can be used to convert an adult nebulizer for infant use. Clean and ready to use.
