Has anyone tried the Pari Star nebulizer?

I've been using the Pari Trek system with the nebulizer cups that were provided, the LC Sprint. I need to buy new ones and discovered another type of cup, the Star that a representative from Just Nebulizers described this way: "PARI LC Star Nebulizer
This heavy-duty option is designed for users who need medication within the deepest parts of their lungs. It’s also appropriate for individuals who have smaller airways due to age, or the advanced progression of a disease." Does anyone use these Star nebulizers?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

I went looking for the particle size of the PARI LC Star Nebulizer and found this abstract. If I read it correctly the PARI LC Star Nebulizer has been around for some time.

"Conclusions:
To minimize treatment time, the Pari LC Star would be best. To minimize drug wastage, the AeroEclipse would be best. To accurately deliver a specific drug dose, the Halolite would be best."

I wish they'd invent a nebulizer that does all of the above!

I am using the Pari LC Plus twice daily. It looks just like your picture except mine does not have the red ring--just clear. It stimulates a cough and generally will get some colored sputum so I feel this is a good thing. They come included with my HyperSal solution.
