Aeroneb Go

i found this brochure on the aeroneb go...





The Aeroneb Go® - a silent, portable, vibrating mesh nebuliser manufactured by Aerogen and utilising a horizontal mesh containing 1,000 holes obtained by electrolysis, and vibrates at 100 kHz.



The Aeroneb Go is a single patient use device for patients to use at home, at work and when travelling.



The Aeroneb Go has been designed for the efficient delivery of commonly inhaled medications including Bronchodilators, Inhaled Antibiotics and Pulmozyme* (rhDNase), particularly in the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis.



Aerogen's OnQ® Aerosol Generator is a wafer-thin electronic micro-pump which uses no compressed air, generates negligible heat and efficiently nebulises solutions, suspensions, proteins and peptides.



The mesh and the other alloy components in the Aeroneb Go are coated with "Nickel Palladium" which is completely resistant to corrosion; therefore the Aeroneb Go is suitable for use with Hypertonic Saline.



In an independent validation study, the Aeroneb Go delivered 2.5ml of Pulmozyme* (rhDNase) with an inhaled mass of 798 micro grams at a particle size (MMAD) of 4.5 microns within 4.4 minutes.



The Aeroneb Go consists of a hand-held nebuliser and a separate battery pack and an AC power adapter.



Unlike conventional nebulisers, the Aeroneb Go runs completely silently allowing for discreet operation.



*Pulmozyme is a trademark of Roche Products Pty Ltd

I would ask for a copy of the independent validation study that they claim to have.

Pulmozyme isn't made by Roche, as they say. It's made by Genentech. Odd

Yea Amy, I found that a little fishy about the Pulmozyme being made by Roche, so I looked up the aeroneb on this web site and I found where JennifersHope posted that she has one and she had to have special formulas of her medicine for it, so I called the CF social worker. She also handles the nebulizers. Anyways, she told me I could NOT use the aeroneb go. It does not allow you to use the Pari LC plus anyways. I think the medical supply store was trying to sell me that one because it cost $450, whereas the regular compressor is like $150. Also, the aeroneb go is a micropump, not an ultrasonic. So anyways, now I'm getting the Minimate compressor.

Recently I came across the receipt for our Pari Proneb, which we got from the hospital, via a medical supply company. I've seen the same machine online for about $79; however, our insurance company was charged $350 for it. At the time, we needed a nebulizer upon discharge and didn't have a doctor yet back home (250 miles away).

straight from Roche's website, scroll down to the p's. They do list Pulmozyme as a product

And the Aeroneb Go has been around quite awhile, its not a no name brand.

Check out About.com's asthma site for a good review of it.

Its also electronic NOT ultrasonic.

Lots of incorrect info and assumptions in this thread!
