The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation does.

And here's the reason why. The Trek does not get the particles small enough for TOBI or Pulmozyme to be useful in your lungs. (PSI is not high enough)

So if you use the Trek with TOBI you will be inducing resistance - when bacteria are exposed to lower than minimum inhibatory concentrations of antibiotics, to make a long story short, you are making them stronger.

Call the CFF if you would like confirmation.

I'm looking for Portable and Hand-held. The Peri Trek has a tubing that is attached right? I will have to ask my Dr about the EFlow. Is the EFlow hand held? I also have to call my Ins company and see if they even cover it since I already have a regular size Nebulizer here at the house.

one of PARI's older models is exactly like you are descirbing. I had it 2x ago. I did not like the cup fitting into it because then you have to hold the whole thing which you cant do while driving (at least not safely IMO). I dont remember what it is called and doubt if it is still actively manufactured but maybe you could find it on your website.

Hbollote-I was using my portable pari for my pulmozyme and TOBI all the time for about 2-3 years I did not even have a home compressor. My clinic had told me it was fine and the DME I got it from knew what i was on and also never said contrary about it. When I tried upgrading to the trek S this year is when I found out it is not recommended. I posted a couple questions regarding this on the PARI thread if you want to look back and read them, I also posted a thread about it in the adults section if you want to search for it. THere is also a blogspot that I dont remeber how to get to that PARI hosts and they will also confirm this.
