AirOne Ultrasound Inhaler for Horses
Thanks to its uncomplicated operation, the Air-One inhaler facilitates inhalation therapy in horses. The second most common horse disease affects the respiratory system. Therefore, vets and horse owners use the innovative technology of the Air-One–the only medical nebuliser in animal medicine for prophylactic and acute therapy.
A lot of thought has gone into the development of the Air-One: the lid of the medication pot offers optimum access to the flexible breathing tube which is easy to slide if the horse has an emergency or is panicking. The well thought-out air supply with a stack effect in the respiratory mask significantly facilitates inhalation and excess vapour is fed back into the cup using condensation; thus, avoiding the loss of excess medication.
To ensure the medication is inhaled into the smallest alveoli of the lungs, it needs to be very finely nebulised. The particle size during continuous operation of the Air-One remains constant between 0.47 and 6 µm. At max. 15 ml/minute, the nebulisation rate is very high and superior to any other device. The Air-One is based on a ventilation-dependent system, which means that the nebulised preparation needs to be breathed actively.
The Respiratory Mask
Specially designed for horses, the Air-One respiratory mask is transparent and is designed with removable silicone rubber on the upper side. This rubber is soft, smooth and thoroughly seals. The retention basin of the mask collects any excess mucus produced; the fresh air supply through both valves can be infinitely adjusted. These valves are easy to remove and ideal to clean. The Velcro fastening head band means that the mask can also be well adjusted to the individual horse being treated.
Battery or Mains Operation
Choose between "Flex" or "mains operation" to find the suitable product for your needs. For more mobility and flexibility, we offer the extra light and battery-operated Flex model; the nebuliser of the Warm Blooded model is situated in the mask and thus in direct proximity to the horse. As the device does not need to be connected to a power supply, the animal isn't irritated by any cable or tube. However if needed, the Air-One Flex can be used with a tube and wall bracket to allow for stationary use.
Attention:The Flex model for ponies does not have a nebuliser in the mask. It has to be used with a tube and can be complemented with a wall holder. As an alternative, you can attach a pony seal to the Warm Blood model to use it with ponies.

Product Identification

The Air-One was specially developed for horses and the delivered set is designed specifically for that purpose. Do you need to buy a smaller mask? Contact us for more information.
The manufacturer recommends herbal preparations (Pulmostat liquid, Art. No. 191463). However, other substances can also be nebulised with the Air-One. Essential oils should not be inhaled. The nebuliser can also be used for ultrasound inhalation of saline to moisten the airways.
The Air-One nebuliser is supplied with a spray disinfectant that produces an ideal hygienic state after just 20 minutes' exposure time. The valves can be removed from the respiratory mask for individual cleaning. The exterior of the Air-One can simply be cleaned with detergent.
For stationary use, the nebuliser can be separated from the mask. You can complement the set with a tube and a wall bracket to use the Air-One Flex like a classic battery operated model.
The delivery contents include a wall bracket so that it can be fixed to the wall of the tethering yard. Experience shows that the machine should hang at about chest-height, although variations are possible (according to the horse, the depth of respiration etc.). If the device cannot be attached to a fixed place, the Air-One can be placed on a table. The right operation is only possible if the device has been installed correctly.
As the respiratory mask should be as tight as possible around the bridge of the horse's nose, it depends on the size of the pony. For nebulisation of small ponies, it is possible to order the Air-One with a smaller mask. Please contact our customer service team if you need more information.
No. The medication pot can be used for several treatments.
There is no precise answer to this question, as the battery operation time depends on the individual treatment of each horse. As a guideline, a fully-charged battery can be used for 2-3 applications or over a period of approx. 1.5-2 hours.
No, the devices cannot be transformed and must be used as described.
Yes, the 4 firmly integrated batteries can (individually or collectively) be removed and replaced by the manufacturer's technicians. As the batteries have a long lifespan, this is rarely necessary.
Yes, that is theoretically possible; however the voltage is not sufficient to fully charge the battery. Therefore, the Air-One should not be used when charging.
While it is technically possible, it is not recommended as it could lessen the inhalation results.
