MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 20 (Reuters) - Aerogen Inc. (AEGN) said on Monday 
it received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to market its 
Aeroneb nebulizer system for treatment of respiratory disorders.

The Mountain View, California-based company said the system converts liquid 
medicine to an aerosol form to treat patients both on and off mechanical 
ventilators.

The company said most patients on a ventilator need treatment for 
respiratory disorders, but drug treatment is typically limited to small 
volume nebulizers, metered dose inhalers or ultrasonic nebulizers.

Aerogen said its Aeroneb Pro can be used with all nebulizer solutions 
approved for use with general-purpose nebulizers and can be used with any 
ventilator system in the hospital. It can also be used off the ventilator to 
treat patients anywhere in the hospital, including the emergency room.

Aerogen said it plans to launch the Aeroneb Pro in both the United States 
and Europe in mid-year.



DISC -  hold small parcel of FPH.
