Nebulizer question
I have a Pari LC Sprint nebulizer and compressor. It is time to change neb cups and I want to switch to breath actuated. Does anyone know if I can use the Aeroeclipse reusable breath actuated cup with my Pari compressor? I sent a message to Just Nebulizers and am awaiting response but thought I'd pose it to our very well-informed group.
Thanks.

you should be able to use them together. The tube might be harder to fit onto the compressor but it should go on. I tried switching to the Aeroeclipse but did not like it and went back to the sprint. I use the Ombra compressor with the sprint cups and tubing just fine. Or I will use the Pari compressor.
I was interested in your preference for the Sprint cup as I may try that. I’m using the AeroEclipse XL with the Ombra compressor. Would you mind saying why you prefer the Sprint?
Thanks
I felt like I had to breath too hard with the AeroEclipse compared to the Sprint. As I recall it was also less effective for me in loosening or bringing up the mucus. I may try it again sometime. It is really different for each person I would imagine. That was just my experience.

1 ReactionHi Irene - I'm glad I'm not the only one! Not only that, but I find it too hard to breathe with the Aerobika attached to the neb. I guess I'm just a wimp.

1 ReactionI tried attaching it once and did not like it. Anyway I really feel using the Aerobika AFTER nebulising is what works better for me. The whole routine is long since I use extra saline but I have learned to just accept that. I watch something distracting on TV (with headphones on) and it really helps pass the time.

Thank you everyone for your comments.
So glad this has been addressed. I was so frustrated with the AeroEclipse alone and as well with the Aerobika attached to it. Now I know it wasn't just me with the way I was using it. It was as if I had to strain to use it.

1 ReactionWill the Pari LC sprint work with any compressor?
Yes as long it it the type that uses tubing, virtually every nebulizer cup is interchangeable. So are the hoses - they are standard medical grade oxygen tubing. The cup just doesn't work on the hand-held impeller type nebulizers that have their own med cup/mouthpiece.
