Hi serendipity730,-
I have had about 5 compressors that I have burnt through,-( 1hr+ a day twice a day thing really adds up, with the odd 30 mins for extra time!!! ) the last Pari Neb Ultra 2 *ones I had broke after 1 month and then my insurance sent me a cheap one that last 2 months. I finally got sick of broken compressors and sluggish delivery times taking me forever., So I invested in a sweet machine called Mobilaire psi 50 by Invarcare, and its been a godsend! I only take now 45 mins, and can turn up he pressure anytime I need to.
Exactly like the hospital air/wall outlets they use for your nebs!!
It is pretty expensive, mine was $300, insurance doesn't cover- but its well worth the money, time and energy, ( I have had mine about 2 weeks now,) And its only a 11lbs, its also a very sturdy machine,- so a plus!! ++.
More pressure BTW means better aerosol delivery,/ the medicine gets better smashed up into droplets-, like Pulmozyme ,and goes deeper in to your lungs.
I have no idea why they prescribe these weak garbage compressors for CFers, first-, they are not made to be ran continuously for 30+ mins straight, and they more for people with asthma,.. not people that need neb after neb EVERY single day! HELLO!
Oh, did I mention I can run this baby for up to 10hrs at a time?! So you know this one is good !
Anyway, check it out, and stop with crap ones....Mobilaire psi- 50 by Invarcare!!!
