Mesh nebulizers are driven by a piezo-element and use ultrasonic frequencies to vibrate the mesh. The vibration of the mesh causes aerosol generation as the liquid passes through it. Ultrasonic nebulizers, by contrast, produce ultrasonic waves directly into the solution causing aerosol to be produced at the liquid surface. Since both use ultrasonics to generate the aerosol, confusion between the 2 types of nebulizers and their differing performance can occur. It is known that ultrasonic nebulizers are unable to deliver suspension formulations such as budesonide and this perception of inability to deliver budesonide can incorrectly be assumed to be the same for ultrasonically driven mesh nebulizers. Either one can deliver a "silver in water" suspension. Aluminum work hardens and gets brittle when vibrated...the alloy is not likely to be aluminum and even if it were, aluminum quickly develops an oxide coating that is very hard and pretty much inert.

It has 1,000 4-micron holes [the mesh] that vibrate 110,000 times per second. As the liquid medication is pulled through the holes, it is converted into an inhalable aerosol.
