The concept of atomizer has a narrow and broad distinction.
In a broad sense, all instruments and devices that change liquid into micron-sized droplets by using various principles such as ultrasonic vibration are atomizers, so the air humidifier is also a kind of atomizer.
In a narrow sense, most of the so-called atomizers in our general life refer to medical atomizers, which are very suitable for patients with respiratory diseases to carry out atomization treatment at home. The main reason why we call them medical atomizers instead of home atomizers is that they belong to the second-class medical devices and have medical device registration certificates.
There are many types of atomizers:
Air humidifier: the humidifier used to humidify the air is one type of atomizer;
medical atomizer: a device for treating upper respiratory diseases, belonging to medical instruments;
other types of atomizers: such as hair styling spray equipment, one of the important structures composed of electronic cigarettes, used to atomize cigarette oil.
The biggest difference between atomizer and humidifier is that humidifier is an ordinary household appliance, and medical atomizer belongs to medical equipment, so their functions are also different.
air humidifier: atomizing water into micron-sized ultrafine particles can refresh the air, improve health and create a comfortable environment.
Atomizer: Turn the medicine into gas, and let the gasified medicine directly enter the respiratory tract and lungs with the breathing of human body, which can quickly make the medicine directly act on the diseased body parts, of course, faster than taking the medicine. Although atomization will increase the drug concentration in a short time, the total drug intake is still small, which is smaller than the dose of oral drugs or injection drugs, and the safety is higher.
