This early electric inhaler was manufactured by M. Pech in Germany. It is similar in principle to earlier spirit burning inhalers of similar design. A water tank is heated and the steam generated is passed across a capillary tube suspended in liquid medication. The passing steam causes the medication to be sucked up the tube and aerosolised. The patient inhales the warm moist medication through the glass mouthpiece.
There is a small charge to cover this service.
