@wangling Perhaps you are referring to a "Drive Hand Held Spray Nebulizer"?(https://www.healthproductsforyou.com/p-drive-lexan-plastic-pocket-nebulizer.html)
or the "Drive Power Neb Extra Portable Nebulizer"?
(https://www.vitalitymedical.com/drive-medical-power-neb-ultra-compressor-nebulizer.html)
The first is a handheld bulb spray activated device, commonly used by people with no access to electricity. I would only consider it to be a backup device myself as I think it would be very difficult to deliver a even, fine mist squeezing a bulb. My arthritic hands and wrists would definitely not like it.
The second is a small table top compressor-type nebulizer. The literature describes it as portable, but at 3.2 pounds and without a battery option, I wouldn't call it that. It does have a 5 year warranty, and from the description, I would say it is comparable to the old standby Pari Vios that is also covered by Medicare.

Is this the first time you have been prescribed a nebulizer?

Many thanks Sue for sharing your experience. Ah, I don't know the details. I just received a call telling me that my doctor ordered a nebulizer for me to pick up and it is free for me. I bought Pari Vios on my own. I didn't know Medicare covers Pari Vios. That is very good to know. Just want to share the info with the community and hopefully some people are interested. But personally I feel, if it is free, it may not be very good? But I could be wrong.
Yes, it is my first time.
