Profile

Healthline Medical, Inc., of Baldwin Park, CA designs and manufactures dosimetric high-efficiency, nebulizer-based aerosol drug delivery systems for respiratory therapy, systemic drug delivery and new drug research applications.  Healthline’s unique patented user-configurable and environmentally-protective aerosol drug delivery systems for adults and children were developed as a result of 30 years of successful research and innovation in the demanding field of radioactive gas and particle delivery for diagnostic lung imaging. 

Healthline's dosimetric, high-efficiency aerosol drug delivery products are NOW AVAILABLE for respiratory therapy and will enable you to provide the GREATEST DEPOSITION and SHORTEST TREATMENT TIMES of any device on the market.


Our innovations in high-efficiency radioaerosol particle delivery for diagnostic lung scanning have led to the spin-off of similar products for respiratory therapy and drug delivery via the aerosol route.  The development of the Medicator® high-efficiency aerosol drug delivery system is a direct result of our many years of research and development in lung imaging techniques.

History

In addition to its respiratory therapy line, Healthline Medical is the parent company of Medi/Nuclear, which was founded in 1973.  In 1977, production began on Xe-133 gas and the Xeno/Cal™ Xenon Calibrator.  This was followed in 1979 with the introduction of the Xenon/Master™ Patient Delivery System.  In 1987, the AeroVent™ Radioaerosol Delivery System was introduced.  Over the years the Aero/Vent has been improved to deliver ever-smaller aerosol particles.  The current model delivers fine particles, over 97% of which are less than 1 µM in size, thereby resulting in excellent peripheral penetration without unwanted central deposition.  This technical achievement has been accomplished through our research efforts and the clinical assistance of major medical centers.  Our newest radioaerosol delivery system for lung imaging, the Insta/Vent,™ was introduced in 1998 and combines speed of delivery (half the typical inhalation time) with the fine particle distribution of the Aero/Vent™.

The result of the many years spent in the nuclear medicine lab perfecting aerosol delivery has been the development of two superb nebulizers and three different high-efficiency aerosol delivery systems.  The most recent system, specifically designed for aerosol drug delivery in respiratory therapy and related applications has been named The Medicator® Aerosol Maximizer.  Its proven track record and substantial market share in diagnostic lung imaging provides ample evidence of its effectiveness.

Philosophy

Healthline Medical has grown and thrived over 30 years based upon the single premise that we have an obligation to the patient, the therapist and the physician to provide unparalleled service, along with the finest products available.  Because of this policy, we have enjoyed many years of outstanding customer loyalty -- a quality that we greatly appreciate and value as a testimonial to our success.
