Looking for a decent portable nebulizer

Posted by raybo @raybo, Jan 19 9:20am

So many of these look the same with a different name and fizz out in short order. I’m taking a long trip soon and need one for those times you are not in your room. Suggestions?

Thanks for your review Sue. But does Medicare cover this nebulizer at all?

My research showed me that Medicare does not cover it because it is considered “portable.” I paid less than $800 for the nebulizer and an extra handset and some additional parts. (It comes with two nebulizing meshes already.) I can’t remember who I got it from but it is easy to find and that company consistently has it $200 less than everyone else. The day I bought it they were offering an additional 30% off but they seem to always have deals for new customers. With Labor Day coming up I bet they will have another sale. Worth every penny.

The Pari Trek-S has been fantastic for me on short and longer term trips (a month). Haven’t had any issues. I bought the portable battery so I charge it during the day and then can move around the house with it during treatment. I use the Pari Nebulizer cups which can be boiled. I typically soak in warm water and dishwashing detergent and then boil for 10m after rinsing. (if you don’t have a sterilizer while traveling).

Hello kdiago1564
please, how do you get it dry, so it keeps from air contaminants. Another question is do you manipulate every part of the cup to reassemble it? Thank you and please I welcome views on the subject which I feel the most difficult part of ACTs
