BREATHING CIRCUIT APPARATUS FOR A NEBULIZER.

摘要

A breathing circuit apparatus (110) used with a nebulizer device (112) that generates an aerosol is adapted for use by a user for inhaling the aerosol through the user's nose and/or mouth the thereafter exhaling exhalation gas through the breathing circuit apparatus. The breathing circuit apparatus includes a container (120), an inlet valve (122), an outlet valve (124) and a user connection port (126). The container defines an interior chamber (128) therein and is coupled to the nebulizer device. The inlet valve is connected to the container and includes an air inlet port (136) for one-way air flow of ambient air into the interior chamber. The inlet valve moves between a closed condition to prevent the ambient air from entering into the interior chamber and an opened condition to permit the ambient air to enter into the interior chamber. The outlet valve is connected to the container and includes a gas exhalation port of one-way gas flow of the exhalation gas.
