Nebulizer cups
I’m looking to change my nebulizer cups to something that can be boiled and/or sterilized in a baby bottle device. I’m new to this and use an Aerobika. The cups that came with my compressor cannot be boiled etc. I know many members prefer different ones and I would appreciate any feedback about the PARI or Aeroclipse. Thanks!

@galec I prefer the Aeroclipse because it has the breath actuator setting so nothing is released until I breath in. I found it difficult to tolerate the saline nebs when using the Pari and having the steady steam constantly coming at me, also, I am not wasting saline or medication in between inhales or when stopping to cough. Another advantage is that I can attach the Aerobika to the Aeroclipse so I am using the Aerobika while nebbing saline to save some time and. I boiled the parts initially and they held up fine but then switched to a baby bottle sterilizer which I find much easier and the Aeroclipse cups do fine in that also. Wishing you all the best.

2 Reactions@mjb24 very helpful! I would look to order the one with the breath actuator setting and not the continuous? Thank you!
Aeroclipse has both- breath actuator setting or steady flow, you just switch if you want to use one or the other by turning the top cover

1 ReactionI know there has been much discussion about insurance coverage and saline, how about Aeroclipse or reusable neb cups? The insurance med supply company will only send me disposables so I’ve just been purchasing mine online out of pocket.

1 Reaction@galec lilianna already answered your question about just changing the setting so you can have continuous flow or breath actuated. I will just add that they do sell a disposable aeroclipse (clear, $9) that they say to replace every 7 days or a reusable (green tinted, $15) recommended to replace every 6 months.

2 Reactions@rmoore901 I never found a way to get mine covered. Before I switched to the Pari eFlow Rapid ( a mesh type) I used nebology, just nebulizers and a few other on-line sources for my supplies. By buying in quantity, it wasn't very expensive, we bought 5-10 units every 6 months or so.

1 Reaction@rmoore901 When I was first given a prescription for DuoNeb my insurance covered the compressor and cups. The compressor, however, was rather big and very loud and the nebulizer cups were the basic type that cannot be sterilized. I now purchase on my own from either Saverite Medical or Just Nebulizers.
