Hi Heather @heathert thaks so much -- I do have some other Arikayce questions.

No I'm not able to get Aricayce in Australia -- it hasn't been approved here yet or in many other places either yet. But I've recently been approved to be part of the international Arikayce trial, which is continuing over a longer period of time.

(My lung specialist is a co-author on this international trial's published articles -- Prof Rachel Thomson. They've already published the main efficacy results I think. It seems that this current part of the trial is the broader NTM patient testing phase).

I have to wait for the drug and the inhaler system to arrive here from the USA -- I think it has to be a PARI system

I think you were part of an earlier phase of the trial -- possible the main efficacy testing part.

Question: Did the Arikayce trial people supply you with your PARI e-flow rapid inhaler machine, or did you buy it yourself ? (I'm wondering if the trial people use a slower PARI system than the e-flow rapid). Your rapid system sounds much better to use.

Thanks very much for all your help
