Nebulizer supplies
I am curious how much time it takes people to use the nebulizer with .7% solution. I am finding that the kind of nebulizer cup seems to vary a lot in how long it takes to nebulize all the solution.
The ones I was just sent are taking me 15 min or more and still all the solution isn't used up.
I am wondering if there a better cup to use (or machine?) attaching a photo of the kind they just sent.

When I used a compressor type nebulizer this was my set up. I think each vial of 4mL took around 8 minutes or so, depending on if it was breath activated or not.

@carolmj It completely depends on the nebulizer, But, as far as I know, every nebulizer leaves behind some solution (approximately 1 ml) in the cup so you don't need to try to fully empty the reservoir. Maybe this will help cut down on the time it takes?

3 ReactionsGosh, I'm taking 2 ml of budesinide and 4 ml of
acetylcysteine, and it takes me 30-35 minutes. I was told I could use both at the same time. I use the nebulizer at the same time.I use my shaker vest for 30 minutes. It seems most of you, it takes less than 10 minutes..
Hi, I use the Pari pro neb max nebulizer with LC Sprint cup sets. I mix sodium chloride 0.9 with ascetasistine and it takes 15 to 20 min to absorb it all. You should change cups every 3 to 6 mos max though as they do lose their efficiency, depending on how often you use them. Hope this helps? Mike
