alternates to neb compressors at home?

[Kuzimm]

Hi all,
Just had another Pari quit on me after several months, wondering if folks around here have recommendations about really good brands that last years and/or if anyone has gotten creative with alternate solutions (home medical grade air tank + compressor or anything)?

Have always liked the idea of a tank/accumulator but haven't looked much into filtering and maintaining good clean breathable air with a system like that.

Thanks for any tips/suggestions!
Kurt

We started off with Pari and then a relative gave us a 10 year old Devilbiss Pulmoaide for use as a spare. Realized how poorly the Pari had been performing -- as a newbie didn't realize Tobi shouldn't take 25-30 minutes. So I purchased a devilbiss and it worked great for a couple years, but their warranty program is a pain. Unlike Pari where you can call and they'll send you a replacement overnight and you just ship back the faulty one with postage paid...Devilbiss requires you go to a Durable Medical Equipment provider and they ship it out and it took about 3 weeks turnover.

Do I bought a Invacare 50 psi

Compressor ​

out of pocket for about $225. Looks like a mini air compressor you'd have in a garage. We use the pari vios for travel and the Invacare as the at home work horse.

If you've ever used Cayston, you should have an Altera system. I use it for everything except hypertonic saline. It works well.
