Aerobika manometer

Posted by @ling @wangling, Jun 1, 2025

Hi everyone,
Manoghan only sells manometer with aerobika, I have several aerobika already, but want to buy a manometer. Anyone use manometer and bought it separately?

Thanks!

The attachment that the manometer fits on fits on any Aerobika. It’s a separate piece. I’ve interchanged it between my different Aerobika. I accidentally tossed mine out when I cleaned up my neb stuff. I have 3 Aerobikas and only bought the 3 rd one for the manometer. Has anyone had a luck buying just the manometer attachment? . So far no distributors I can find will sell it separately.

If you’re planning to buy a new Aerobika, you might consider getting one with a manometer. This small gauge attaches to the device and provides real-time feedback, helping you ensure you’re blowing within the optimal pressure zone. Using too little pressure may reduce effectiveness, while blowing too forcefully can risk collapsing your airway walls. A manometer typically adds about $10 to the cost, and in my experience, it’s well worth the investment.

I recently purchased one from Tampa Specialty. If I recall correctly, the total cost was around $80, including the manometer. My doctor sent a prescription in requesting a Aerobika with a manometer. I called Tampa because I had a couple of questions and they were very nice to deal with.

Note: The arm that connects to the Aerobika can be boiled for cleaning, but the manometer gauge should be removed before boiling to avoid damage.

Someone posted a while ago they found them at
Cascadehealth.com
Monaghan does not sell them separately.
Also, note the aerobika should be replaced at 12 months and the manometer at 6 months. So this creates even more of a dilemma. Rather inconvenient.

I had a lot of conversations with Monaghan. The last person I talked to said she would pursue putting 2 manometers with the aerobika, but that has not happened.

Feel free to contact them and see if you can get better info.
