Looking for a decent portable nebulizer

My research showed me that Medicare does not cover it because it is considered “portable.” I paid less than $800 for the nebulizer and an extra handset and some additional parts. (It comes with two nebulizing meshes already.) I can’t remember who I got it from but it is easy to find and that company consistently has it $200 less than everyone else. The day I bought it they were offering an additional 30% off but they seem to always have deals for new customers. With Labor Day coming up I bet they will have another sale. Worth every penny.

Hello kdiago1564
please, how do you get it dry, so it keeps from air contaminants. Another question is do you manipulate every part of the cup to reassemble it? Thank you and please I welcome views on the subject which I feel the most difficult part of ACTs

I have the Mikiss that I got from Amazon and I really like it. It also has a self cleaning cycle. https://a.co/d/dvr7NnD

@cyndanna How do you sterilize it?

@sueinmn Thank you for asking. That’s what I’ve been trying to find out. I lost the manual. How do you sterilize mesh nebulizers? I’ve been washing with soap and non NTM water, while I use a baby bottle sterilizer for everything else. Did I hear that mesh cannot be steamed or boiled?

@cyndanna Whether you can boil or steam a mesh nebulizer depends on the specific unit. I previously owned one that could be boiled, but it is no longer sold.
I currently own the very expensive Pari eFlow Rapid, and it has done just fine with being soaked in antibacterial Dawn, rinsed in filtered water and weekly boiling in distilled water.
Cleaning according to the Mikiss instructions on the Amazon site, or simply using soap and water, increases your risk of getting infections.
Inexpensive self-cleaning mesh nebulizers typically cannot be boiled or steamed, but some may be able to be cleaned by soaking in alcohol. The question is how this will affect the mesh.

@sueinmn Thank you. I have reached out to the company to see if I can boil or steam. I thought that was why I bought this one… but I want to be sure. I agree, not sterilizing is a concern.

I use the Parí Trek S which is a travel nebulizer. It’s not a mesh which I don’t like. The Parí works well, maybe not as strong as a regular plug in but I’ve been using it for over two years whenever I travel and it works fine. Comes in a nice little case and I can fit my Aerobika and some saline vials in it.

@lmh7 what exactly do you boil? mask? you dont boil the compressor unit right?

@rockinkranch I only boil the top part of the Naweti, the part that holds the albuterol and saline.
