Remarkable 5μm syringe type atomizer [SA-01] Instructions
This principle of atomization, which can easily produce a 5μm fog, does not yet exist elsewhere in theworld. (Patent pending)
1. Features of the syringe type atomizer

i. Needs no electricity. Syringe operated air-pressure driven
atomizing nozzle.

ii. New atomization principle allows a small volume of air from asyringe to generate a 5μm fog.

iii. Can be used repeatedly.
iv. We can make trial products of this low-cost disposable-typedevice for your company, and then we will (with certain
conditions attached) cede the technology to you for highvolume production.
2. Components of the product and material

Parts and material

Syringe(2.5ml) for loading spray liquid

Assembly Without Elbow

Syringe for air pump
(5ml, 10ml, 20ml)Nozzle (part for holding spray liquid)
Material: POM, PPS
Elbow (particle size-reduction effect) Material POM

The 2.5 ml syringe for loading spray liquid is unnecessary in a disposable-type product because theliquid can be preloaded into the device during manufacture.

3. Choice of atomization performance
Choose atomization performance by syringe size or accessories.
・ This performance is measured by atomizing purified water. (Please refer to the following table.)・ Performance will vary depending on the force applied to the syringe plunger, and the viscosity and density of theliquid to be atomized.
・ Perfomance of actual product might differ slightly from that shown in chart below.

(Caution 1) When the atomizer has an elbow, some accumulation of liquid will occur in the elbow during use, so please drain in a timely
fashion.

4. Description
Please study the following description of parts before using this product.
4-1. Description of parts
Elbow

Nozzle’s component parts

Infusion port to load liquidThis part cannot be dismantled because it is glued.
Liquid cartridge(liquid capacity
about 60μl)

CapNozzle

Nozzle Holder

Infusion port tofill liquid

Air pump syringe
When the liquid is introduced via the Infusion port, which is on the side ofnozzle body, it can be injected into the liquid cartridge.

4-2. Operating procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Choice of syringe size for air pump
In the case of a 20ml syringe, the liquid cartridge will be
emptied with a single push of the plunger rod.
In the case of a 10ml syringe, spray twice or three times by
repeating steps 4 and 5.
Infuse liquid* To fill the nozzle with the liquid to be sprayed, use a 2.5ml
adjunctive syringe (size 2.5ml) to introduce the liquid via theinfusion port on the side of the nozzle.
* The nozzle is filled when a drop of liquid comes out of its end.
* The smallest free passage diameter of the nozzle’s liquidorifice is φ0.15mm.
Foreign matter should not be allowed to enter and clog thenozzle because it cannot be dismounted for clearing.
* Please avoid the use of any liquid which is strongly corrosive,or which dries and solidifies.
Choose with or without elbow
The elbow is easily attached to or detached from the nozzle.

Step 3Pull the syringe plunger rod
Gently pull out the syringe plunger rod.
Step 4

Step 5

Step 6130224

Atomize fog by pushing the plunger rod* A single moderately firm burst of pressure on the plunger rod
produces atomization.
* As the fog is very fine, it is best observed in brightly lit orbacklit conditions. (Please refer to step 4-3 for how to observefog.)
Drain the elbow
When the syringe is fitted with the elbow, condensed liquid
will accumulate inside the elbow. Please empty it out on atimely basis.

Please follow the instructions below; otherwise a normal fog will not result.

Correct

Incorrect

Push the plunger rod in fully before
introducing the liquid.

Do not introduce the liquid with theplunger rod pulled out.

4-3. How to observe fog
Fine fog might not be readily observable in sunlight or under interior illumination.
Fog is best observed against bright back-lighting.
Interior illumination

Back-lighting

Caution
1. Please understand that the specifications of this product might be changed without notice.
2. Because the fine fog generated by this product evaporates immediately after spraying, please donot use liquids that might be harmful to humans.
3. Please do not administer to living things. (Please confer with us in advance when medical use isbeing considered.)
4. Please do not use the product in any way that violates applicable statutes.
5. Nozzle Network Co., Ltd. will not be held liable in any way for any problems that may arise as aresult of use of this product.
