A COMPARISON OF
TWO NEBULIZERS
TRADITIONAL
NEBULIZER |
PARI
LC JET PLUS NEBULIZER |
|
|
| FUNCTION: Closed systems: aerosol output is not
influenced by inspiratory flow.
Continuous operation: about 50%
of the drug is wasted during expiration. |
 |
|
| FUNCTION: Open vent system: aerosol output increases
with inspiratory flow.
Output rate is controlled by the
patient's breathing by means of a valve system during continuous nebulization. |
 |
|
| DISADVANTAGES: - Dilution of aerosol by air entrainment
throughout the inspiratory cycle.
- Low output rate, long treatment
times.
- High operating pressure and
flow (above 6 L/Min) required for adequate aerosol delivery.
- More medication is required to
achieve the required dose in the lungs.
- Drug delivery cannot be
controlled.
- Disposable, designed to last
only a few treatments (2 Weeks).

|
| ADVANTAGES: + Efficient drug delivery.
+ Increases aerosol delivery,
decreases aerosol wastage.
+ No interrupter, no hand-lung
coordination required.
+ Reusable, lasts 6 - 12 Months.
+ Can be cleaned in the
dishwasher, boiled, or autoclaved.
+ Repeatable performance.

| Dr.
Harold S. Nelson of the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, and one of the lead
investigators in the Xopenex (levalbuterol) Study, states, "We chose the PARI
compressor and nebulizer for use in the clinical trials because in past comparative
studies the PARI delivery system performed the best and proved to be the most reliable and
effective." |
IN
A 1994 STUDY PUBLISHED IN "CHEST", A JOURNAL FOR PHYSICIANS, SHOWED THAT THE
PARI LC JET PLUS NEBULIZER IS MORE EFFICIENT THAN TRADITIONAL NEBULIZERS. |
