Hello!
Some of you already know, for sure, but I didn't until a couple weeks ago and some other people don't know either. I remember reading a post,time ago, where somebody said after a while of using the eFlow (in particular with hypertonic saline), the nebulization time had increased so it wasn't so much better than any other nebulizer. Unfortunately I don't recall who said this, to tell her personally.
As it turns out, when nebulizing 5 ml takes longer than 4 minutes with the eFlow, it is due to the small openings in the metal part becoming clogged. The solution is a small device that cleanses it (by running 0,9% saline in counter-direction) and makes it work fast again.
My lung therapist was surprised I didn't have this small device, called easyCare. I called my provider for one and, indeed, nebulization time went down again.
Just wanted to let you know! For those that didn't know -and those who did, sorry for the redundant message. <img title="Cool" src="include/wysiwyg/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif" alt="Cool" border="0" />
Have a great day and use that extra time available to go out and have fun in the sun!
