Best Portable Nebulizer Machines Buyer Guide
The aerosol device market is divided into two main categories, each one with its peculiarities, specific pros and cons. Therefore, the first decision you will have to make is whether to opt for a piston model or an ultrasound model. Let’s see them in detail.
The piston aerosols are made up of a compressor that takes care of generating the air flow and pushing it inside an ampoule where even small parts of the drug are sucked which, hit by the air jet, are sprayed and transferred to the respiratory tract.
Typically, to be effective, these appliances must have a power of one or two atmospheres and be able to nebulize a 3 ml solution in about 3 minutes.
The ultrasonic aerosol using the current to disrupt and inhaling the drug particles into the respiratory tract. The operation takes place quickly and the nebulization is extremely efficient because the particles are reduced into truly microscopic drops and therefore able to more easily reach the bronchi.
On the other hand, however, the devices equipped with this technology are not compatible with all types of drugs, such as those based on cortisone, because they tend to overheat the solution to be inhaled making it ineffective.
Pros and Cons
All the best brands of appliances of this type offer piston and ultrasound models and, since there are valid reasons to opt for one type rather than the other, you will have to choose according to your needs. In our guide, however, we can help you by highlighting both versions’ pros and cons.
Ultrasound aerosols have the indisputable advantage of low noise and effective and fast nebulization. On the other hand, they are not suitable for use with all medical solutions and, comparing prices , they are on average more expensive.
On the other hand, Piston devices are more resistant to wear and frequent use and can be used with any type of medicine. They have a lower price and, in some cases, their limited power makes them not very effective for specific treatments.
Take Care of It
Regardless of the type of aerosol chosen, it is very important that after each use it takes a few moments to clean it to prevent drug residues from remaining inside the appliance and, for example, mixing with new medicines, creating ailments or infections.
Maintenance is simple since it is nothing more than disassembling the aerosol, washing the ampoule and all the accessories under running water and then drying them carefully. When storing the appliance and the various accessories, make sure that the place chosen is not damp, to avoid the formation of mold.
If the model chosen is equipped with an air filter, replace it at regular intervals or in any case following the instructions in the instruction booklet.
A small parenthesis: among the most used medical devices lately, in addition to aerosol machines, blood glucose meters also stand out : those looking for one can look at the models reviewed.
What does the Package include?
The aerosol machine proposed by Laica stands out from the others in its category for its compactness and lightness. However, it is equipped with many accessories that make it suitable for carrying out its task well by serving adults and children precisely and effectively.
In the package, the nebulizer can make the drug impalpable and light enough to permeate easily into the mucosa of the airways, quickly carrying out its effect.
Depending on the type of treatment preferred, it will be possible to use the mouthpiece or the mask to direct the flow towards the mouth or nose respectively, and act directly on the congested part.
The ampoules supplied are those in which the drug must be diluted with the saline solution. These are disposable pieces, designed to be used only once and therefore to avoid contamination between the different active ingredients of the drugs used.
Quick and Effective Therapy
The machine works by emitting an ultrasound capable of transforming electrical impulses into high-frequency vibrations.
By acting directly on the surface of the physiological and drug solution, it manages to transform the liquid into a cloud of particles of extremely small dimensions. The precision and finesse of the nebulized particles do not correspond to long times for therapy.
On the contrary, the machine can effectively spray up to 0.4 ml of liquid per minute. In less than 10 minutes the session is completed and will have reached the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth for immediate action.
Speed also adds silence. The therapy takes place quickly with a noise level that does not reach 40 dB within a radius of one meter from the device.
The only drawback, the lightness of the structure means that you should always hold the machine and mouthpiece or mask in your hand to prevent the drug from spilling.
Less Suitable for Corticosteroids
It is a characteristic common to all ultrasound devices and this by Laica is no exception. It is an important detail to consider before purchasing the appliance because cortisone is one of the drugs most often used to treat nasal congestion.
Who among the buyers has chosen this model confirms that its effectiveness is high even with this type of drug? The disadvantage could concern a faster deterioration of the machine. But the positions are not clear even on the machine’s ability to maintain the healing properties of corticosteroids unaltered.
