Omron NE-U100 have you used it?

irenea8, one of those terrible reviews was mine! The unit itself is unreliable. If you are willing to spend a few hours/days, you might be able get the hang of what makes the unit tick - when it feels like it. Mine would run for a bit and then stop and then run again if I tipped it a certain way, then stop again, etc. And you already have a good idea of what kind of help or recourse I received from Omron. I had never written a bad review in my life, but considering people are putting their breathing in the hands of this machine, I felt compelled. I ended up purchasing a Pari Trek S portable nebulizer and have been very pleased. The Omron sits in its case unused.

Thank you! The instruction says you are supposed to tip it at an angle (to immerse in the medication) if it stops working and also in the beginning of use. Seems very fussy just to read about it. I am starting a new treatment and was considering using it but not now! It was expensive but I will just keep it for emergency use since it has batteries. I also have the pari Trek with the battery pack for that purpose. I wish I had read the reviews before I got it! Thanks again.

Maybe you can return it? I looked up the price $1000 - wow.

FWIW I've been happy with the eRapid/eFlow by Pari. It's been around for a while and over time has been price reduced. With an extra discount during a special it was around $600. Still pricey, I know, but for something I need to work and rely on it was worth it. Very light, very portable. Runs on batteries or plug in. It leaves behind 1mL of solution and there is loss while nebbing, unlike aeroeclipse. Definitely a trade off but it has its place in my arsenal. I use the Pari eFlow when traveling, when time is running short, or if I need an extra neb from time to time.

I believe some of the MAC or pseudo inhaled drugs require it. Drugs companies have rebranded it to use with their pharmaceutical and sometimes provide nebulizer and drug together.

Oh goodness Scoop not sure what you are looking at! I would never pay that much! It was around $100 which is bad enough since I may never use it.

Hi pari track. How strong is it? I am considering buying it but with the battery is is around $200 and the battery warranty is only 6 months. Just buttery is $136. I wonder how often and how many months have you used it.

Pari Trek: I have it as back up if the electricity were to go out. I have only used it once or twice. It is not very strong but better than nothing in that situation.

I use my Pari Trek S as my daily nebulizer. I keep it plugged into the wall for daily use and take the battery pack with me on trips. As far as strength, it seems to meet my needs. I will say that if you are using it on battery, you do have to recharge the battery after only a few treatments. But all in all, I am happy with this unit. It's not quite as loud as my old Phillips and the Pari cups last six months, which I appreciate.

Thank you pled. I have not decided what to buy yet. I noticed my Ombra started overheating after 20 minutes of nebulizing so may be I will have to buy something sturdy and keep it for daily nebulizing. By the way anybody has an idea why the Ombra compressor would be hot after 30 minutes of nebulizing with 7% sodium and then about 10 minutes of budesonide. I changed the filter but its still the same.

I have also noticed that the Ombra is not suited to longer treatment times. Probably 20 minutes it is more suited to. You can call Monaghan Medical and ask them. They might tell you to send it back and send you a new one. The Pari ProNeb Max was made for longer treatment times or more frequent use without overheating.

I bought the Pari Trek S in May of 2023 and have used it daily since, most days twice. I use Pari L Sprint cups and it takes 15-20 minutes to neb 4ml of 7% saline. TrekS is small enough that it is easy to take along on trips. I don't have the battery.
I started out using the Aerobika in conjunction nebbing until
Dr. Winthrop at OHSU told me he thought I'd get more benefit out of using them separately. So I neb first, followed by Aerobika using the AD app, 6 minutes sitting then 2.5 minutes each lying on my back and both sides. It's been working for me.
