Method and arrangement for generating nitric oxide

[0045]In the following, different embodiments of the present invention are schematically shown in the respective figures, wherein the same or comparable components are referred to with the same reference signs.

[0046]In FIG. 1, an arrangement 10 for generating nitric oxide is schematically shown. The arrangement 10 is particularly suitable for the generation of nitric oxide in therapeutic applications and with this regard, it is particularly suitable for portable home care devices.

[0047]The arrangement 10 according to the invention comprises a first reservoir 12 and a second reservoir 14. The first reservoir 12 is designed for receiving a precursor solution comprising a nitric oxide precursor, whereas the second reservoir 14 is designed for receiving reacted solution. The reservoirs 12, 14 may be formed in any shape appropriate and furthermore may be formed from every suitable material. For example, the reservoirs 12, 14 may be formed from glass, or plastics.
