Pari eRapid/eFlow first impressions

@irenea8 I have the exact same question about the Pari system used for Arikayce. It’s called Lamira. It looks exactly the same as the eflow, but it says only to be used for Arikayce. What is the difference? Is it the mesh piece? What other differences could there be and how different are they really. Is it all just marketing? Also, is anyone other than me bothered by the fact that a nebulizer made exclusively for treating NTM says to boil only 5 mts? I am afraid to boil mine for 10 mts, out of fear the pieces will melt. I have contact Insmed’s care coordinator about the perceived disconnect, but no answer yet.

I’ve been boiling mine for 11 minutes at a time and they’re holding up fine.

Upon closer examination (looking at photos) I do see a difference in the part that holds/dispenses the medication (eFlow vs Altera). So that difference could be very important. In light of that I would now see why one many be ok for hypertonic saline and the other is not. The main unit is most likely the exact same. See if you can find pictures of the Lamira and compare to similar profiles of the e Flow. You will probably see a difference in that part.
