Recommendations for nebulizer machine

After my Phillips nebulizer got noisy I bought an Ombra. I use Ipratropium and the 7% sodium chloride. The Ombra is getting the Ipratropium deep into my lungs because when using the Phillips I could nebulize it without any side effects. Almost like inhaling nothing. With the Ombra I feel it and I get the common side effects from Ipratropium like dry mouth and some hoarseness. So, since I never purchased a nebulizer using Medicare I got one just for the Ipratropium and use the Ombra for the sodium chloride. My point being I think the Ombra does a really good job. I use the aeroeclipse with it while nebulizing. People on this forum seem to like it as well as the Pari.

Well, in the last few days I thought your Ombra sounded pretty good to buy in May.. I sent 3 emails to one company that sells them because on most ads they don't list the PSI. (All my Phillips were pretty much in the 40's) I got 3 messages back and they say it's 19PSI!!!! I have never heard of one that low. Then I found a manual on Google for Ombra table top that does list specifications and says it is 37PSI. I had been told years ago that the PSI is the strength of the mist that gets into your lungs? So, I took a screenshot of that manual page and sent back to the company selling and telling me 19PSI but no response yet. With some recommendations and comments applauding Ombra and their aeroeclipse I was sold. But not with a low PSI. I would also need a mask to attatch to that if i did buy in the future
