Re: Compressors/ Nebulizers

I assume you mean compressor ... the machine that breaks up the liquid in a

nebulizer.

We use Duraneb 3000 from PARI in the car and many other places. It works on

battery ANYWHERE or plugged into a power source (old-fashioned cigarette

lighter) in a car or on regular household current. Battery is slower than

being plugged into a power source and gets even slower as the battery ages

.... needs replacing after a couple of years. Using it in the car or plugged

into household current recharges the compressor for battery use.

It has been okay for my son (and he uses it to inhale Tobramycin) but for

his next one we will look into some of the new ones that are smaller. Still

waiting for some list members to try the new ones and comment.

What is a good one? Can you use TOBI with them?

Hi Peggy,

We used to have a duraneb 3000 (made by Pari) and it worked great in the car, it

is fine for all meds including Tobi and Pulmozyme. I wish I knew what happened

to ours. I think we may have left it in a motel room or something. We seem to

have lost it but I don't remember when or where.

good luck

M
