Need a new compressor and would love a fast one. Suggestions please

Posted by yorkieyoli @yorkieyoli, 3 days ago

I have a pari proneb max but it sounds like a tractor after a a years and I need to replace it. I use an aerobika inline with an aeroclipse for 7% saline, and this plus levalbuterol takes an hour
Would like something faster if there is. Any suggestions?

@wangling I have owned the Pari eFlow since early 2023 and wish I had gotten it sooner. So far, it's been reliable and efficient. I change the handset from time to time which adds to cost of ownership. Yes, it leaves some saline behind. A little shake will help to get a few more inhales. One days when I feel like I need more I neb an extra vial.

@wangling All of my nebulizers, mash and otherwise, have left solution behind. According to the respiratory therapist at my pulmonologists' office, this is normal. The difference is that people fiddle around with regular nebulizer cups to try to get everything drop, where the eFlow has an automatic shutoff. You can get a few more puffs by tilting the unit and turning it on if you want.

I agree with @irenea8 that the Pari LC Star (the red top) is advertised to produce a very small particle size to reach the deepest part of the lungs (3.5 microns). I also have the Pari ProNeb Max and it is loud but I've been pleased with it and haven't decided if I'll switch to the Pari eFlow yet.

Here's the Pari LC Star: https://nebology.com/collections/nebulizer-parts/products/pari-lc-star-reusable-nebulizer-cup-tubing

There is also this version of the Pari LC Sprint which also creates a smaller particle size https://nebology.com/collections/all/products/pari-lc-sprint-star-reusable-nebulizer-cup-tubing
