The Medicator in the Peer-Reviewed Literature

Medicator is dosimetric.  “Theoretically, the most efficient nebulizer is a breath-actuated ‘dosimeter’ that generates aerosol and makes it available only during inspiration.”

”If a dosimetric nebulizer is defined as one that releases aerosol only during inhalation, the recently marketed Medicator models from Healthline Medical are dosimetric.  The Medicator employs a reservoir bag, 1-way [valve], and can add an exhalation filter.”
