Question
what is the liters of flow that this device puts out, what is the average treatment time for say albuterol and atrovent or deo-neb.

Answer

The nebulizer rate is 0.35ml/min.  Treatment time depends upon the dose recommended by the prescribing physician, most treatments are between 2 and 7 ml of medication.

With a flow rate of 0.35ml/min, we can say that a 2ml dose treatment would take about 6 minutes and a 7ml dose treatment would take about 20 minutes.

Question
Can it be placed on carpet

Answer
Thank you for your inquiry.  Although, the primary function of the hoyer lift which is to lift individuals from beds, wheelchairs, etc., is not impacted by positioning the unit on a flat, carpeted floor; moving it around, however, may prove to be more difficult especially if a patient is suspended in mid-air.
