A nebulizer is a drug delivery machine which converts liquid medicine into aerosol droplets that can easily be inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask.
Nebulizers are primarily used in the treatment of asthma, COPD, and other breathing problems. However, it is also used for severe cases of nasal and chest congestion as it provides immediate relief by the opening of airways.

- Direct action of the drug on the target organ.
- Immediate effect after inhalation.
- Same effects as oral medication, but with lower dosage.
- Minimisation of possible systemic adverse effect risks.
- Patients can inhale medication with no coordination1 needed.
- Possible to mix different medications from prescription2.
- Some devices can be used for treating upper and lower airway diseases with one device.

Different Types Of Nebulizers for various uses
1. Compressor Nebulizer
Benefits
- Easy to use, also suitable for children
- Almost all types of medication is supported
- Very reliable
- Cost-effective
Disadvantages
- Bulky
- Cleaning of many parts
- Can be noisy
- Require power outlet
2. Mesh Nebulizers
Benefits
- Portable
- Silent
- Operates at all angles
- Simple one-button operation
Disadvantages
- Relative high costs
- Thorough cleaning is required, especially the mesh element
3. Ultrasonic Nebulizers
Benefits
- Quiet and easy operation
- High output (‘nebulization rate’) ~ up to 10 times as compared to Compressor Nebulizer
Disadvantages
- More expensive than a Compressor Nebulizer
- Not possible to nebulize suspensions (e.g. Pulmicort) and medications with higher viscosity
- Some medications (e.g. antibiotics), may change in quality, due to high ultrasonic energy
- Requires AC power
- In addition to the medication, water is required for cooling
Distilled water or purified water cannot be used alone as a drug solution for nebulization.
1. Median Mass Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD µm)
Nebulizers create aerosol droplets with a range of particle size diameters, and MMAD is the diameter that divides the mass of an aerosol in half. MMAD is one of the recommended parameter from European Respiratory Society for measuring nebulizer performance.
Upper Airways:
Chronic – Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever)
Infections – Rhinitis (Common Cold), Sinusitis, Laryngitis
Lower Airways
Chronic – Asthma, COPD
Infections – Bronchitis, Bronchiolitis, Pneumonia
2. Speed
Higher nebulization rate = Shorter treatment time
Nebulization rate is the amount of nebulized medication in ml coming out of the nebulizer per minute.
3. Aerosol Output
Amount of medication deposited in the lungs. It is measured using a breath simulator pump connected to a filter (chemical analysis of NaF in the filter)
It is a key parameter of Nebulizer efficiency.
4. Noise Level
Babies and children may be fearful of the noise generated by compressor type nebulizers therefore a mesh or ultrasonic nebulizer may be more ideal.
5. Portability
Recommended for cases where on the go treatment is needed.
1. Who will be using the nebulizer?
Adults or Babies or Children
2. What is the condition?
Upper Airways or Lower Airways
Depending on the treatment area, the nebulizer should produce particle size to reach the targeted organ.
3. Where will the nebulizer be used?
At Home or On-The-Go
Compact and lighter nebulizers make it easy to have discreet treatments anywhere

Unit was good produces good nebulizing mist.
only thing is need to be careful not to put too much pressure on the medical liquid storage plastic tank, ( not to break the clip on the it)
Would appreciate if you could let me know where to get the replacement accessories.
It my 2nd time purchase the same model. The previous used for 6 years. Overall it an easy to use and compact nebulizer, furthermore there is spare parts available for purchase too.
Handy tool. Easy to clean up.
It helps me when I have short breaths and constant dry cough.
Just a little leakage of saline that I observed, accumulated under the moist area.
Good product, convenient to carry around, easy to use and clean.
Only issue are the spare parts can’t be purchase at Singapore Omron. Please bring it the spare parts soon.
The product is very good. Love the silence and easy maintenance, of cause definitely the portability and small size. Only thing for improvement would be the battery indication. If you can better show the battery level, would be perfect.
