Treatment time tobramycin

[stock12]

Hi all
I do to tobramycin nebules through a pariboy sx compressor, years ago treatment times were around 20 mins or so now they seem to be taking around 40 minutes, which is quite time consuming I am thinking of switching back to the tobi podhaler, before i do does anyone have any advice or had experience compressor seems to be working fine and equipment is clean.
Thanks for any information

Sounds like you need a new compressor with the amount of time these machines are used, they don't last all that long. When ds was a baby, it started taking 45-50 minutes then a relative whose child had asthma gave us an older machine and it only took 15-20 so I ordered a new machine seems like every 2 years or so we need a new one fortunately there's a 3-5 year warranty on most compressors.

I’m not using TOBI anymore, but during the many years I did, the treatments took less than 15 minutes. When they started taking longer, something was wrong. Usually it was a leak in the tubing between the compressor and nebulizer.
