How did you find out you had a faulty compressor?
<br />
<br />It just seems to take forever, but I guess it is 5 ml....

A relative gave us an older devilbiss pulmoaid for use as a spare. Duoneb (albuterol/atrovent) took less than 15 minutes -- would take 25 with the pari and tobi took 22 minutes while on the pari, it took 45-50 minutes.

Being new parents, we didn't KNOW that it wasn't supposed to take that long. Sure we read the info that came with tobi that indicated 20 minutes, but we had a brand new compressor... I turned around and purchased a brand new devilbiss pulmoaid.

With subsequent compressors, we've noticed that treatment times start to increase and the machines get noisier.

Is everyone using all the parts with the pari neb cup? My son is on tobi and uses a brand new pari neb with a brand new pari cup. It takes about 45 mins roughly to dispense the tobi using all of the parts including the blue valve piece. If I take that blue piece out it takes the average 20-25 mins to dispense.

Also does everyone use the cap with pulmozyme and albuterol?

My sons compresser seems to be taking forever. Its the second compresser, because I thought the first one wasnt working right..

Id love to shave a couple of mins off his tobi time but I mainly want to do it right. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I cant wait until they make a eflow with a face mask! I will be the first in line!

Thanks,,Melissa

I would talk to your doctor about the possibility of getting an eflow. i use a compounded version of the IV tobramycin that has been formulated for the eflow and so my tobra takes me about 7-10 mins max.
check out saveferris's blog for more info on the eflow. she has lots of great stuff on there....
