Again, which nebulizer...HELP!!

Posted by fdixon63 @fdixon63, Dec 10, 2022

Why are things so complicated these days? I'm on my second compressor and it is taking an hour to do a treatment. You hear of folks that say, "I'm done in 5-10 mins." I first neb 3.5% Sodium Chloride mixed with Budesonide followed by Tobramycin. The Budesonide instructions say only use a jet neb NOT an ultrosonic neb. The Tobramycin instructions say you must use the PARI-LC kit. I had to be in the hospital recently for GI bleeding and my inhaled treatments went really quickly but they use the oxygen ?input and can control the flow. We, on the other hand, only have an off and on switch. If anyone out there has any knowledge or thoughts on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t have the battery pack. I only have the plug-in component.

I wonder if anyone has compared the Ombra with the Pari ProNeb or Vios?

Their literature says "Designed for six months of home use" so I chose not to buy one, even though I was shown at the local med supply store that it was quieter than either Pari machine.

Does it have a lithium ion battery? Will international airlines allow me to travel with one?

Thanks.

Ill check on line. Hoping to travel next fall andguess it will go through like a laptop if it does . Sue suggested putting ns in vials in ziplock with script(from box) and nebulizer all together.

I bought an Ombra compressor because my Aero Eclipse XL nebulizer specified that it should be used with a compressor capable of delivering a specific flow and operating pressure. The compressor that I had from Lincare did not meet those guidelines. I like the Aero Eclipse XL because it has an option of breath actuation or continuous mode. It can also be attached to the Aerobika so that you can nebulize at the same time you're using the Aerobika. It is the Aero Eclipse XL that should be replaced every 6 mos; the Ombra recommends replacement in 5 years. I paid $15 for the AeroEclipse XL and bought two to save on the shipping in 6 months. I really like it much better than whatever I had from Lincare.

Has anyone tried the MedPro Sonair portable nebulizer? I’ve been on waiting lists to get a Phillips Innospire Go nebulizer but they’re pretty much impossible to buy in Canada. The MedPro one is compact and rechargeable but I’m not sure how reliable it will be for travel.

I’m curious, is the Phillips Innosphere Go the favored choice of a lot of the website users? If yes, what makes it good, and worth close to300 dollars?
Thanks.
