  • Breath actuated nebulizer controller apparatus and method
    Patent number: 6772754
    Abstract: A nebulizer system includes a T-piece together with both a nebulizer and a breath-actuated controller connected to the T-piece. The nebulizer has a nebulizer inlet and the nebulizer is adapted to deliver a nebulized substance to a patient (i.e., a person) through the T-piece in response to a flow of compressed gas into the nebulizer inlet. The breath-actuated controller is adapted to be mounted on the distal end portion of the T-piece and to interrupt the flow of compressed gas into the nebulizer inlet while the patient is not inhaling through the T-piece.
