  I've used this about two weeks now and love it....I really feel this puts out more mist then any of the other types I've used. From now on I will only buy Pari products. It is very easy to clean, and well made..
  
  
  
• 5 stars, More bang for the buck from my meds
  By philget from Boston, MA on 2011-05-17
  Pros: Much less wasted medicine
  Cons: Treatments take longer
  The Pari Star has valves on it that do a great job of conserving medicine for the lungs instead of letting it escape into the air. As a result, I breathe in more medicine from each treatment. And, according to Pari's specs, the Star produces smaller particles which get further into the lungs. However, treatments also take a few minutes longer because of the same valves. If you prefer speed to efficiency and penetration, the Pari Sprint is nice. I sometimes use it when I'm in a hurry.

  By Steve the Seasonal Asthmatic from Phoenix, AZ on 2010-05-11
  Pros: Shortens Treatment time, Easy to use, Durable
  This was a replacement for a mouthpiece/cup that came with my machine. I LOVE this one. I don't lose any medicine, thanks to the flaps that react to your breaths, and my breathing treatments take less time. I have loved this product!

Questions on PARI LC Star Reusable Nebulizer Set

• From Jonathan at 8/31/09 10:08 PM
  • Is this approved for Pulmicort delivery?
  • I contacted the manufacturer of the LC Star, PARI, about this question. They recommended that instead of the LC Star, you use the LC Plus Nebulizer Kit for Pulmicort delivery. Pulmicort is tested on the LC Plus Nebulizer making it the most efficient and affective nebulizer for Pulmicort delivery.

Additional Info

Jet Nebulization Technology

PARI LC® Reusable Nebulizers feature the first ever breath-enhanced jet nebulizer design to efficiently deliver inhalation medicine to your lungs.

How It Works: 1Air from the compressor breaks the liquid medication into small breathable particles which form a mist (aerosol). 2 As you breathe in – the valve at the top opens – letting air in and speeding up the mist generation. 3 When you breathe out, the top valve closes, slowing down the mist and the mouthpiece flap opens letting your breath out.

Inspiration/Expiration Illustrations

When breathing in, the inspiratory valve at the top of the nebulizer opens to allow entrained air to increase the flow of medication to the lungs.
When breathing out, the inspiratory valve closes, reducing medication production and thus reducing medication waste. The expiratory valve also opens, directing the breath away from the patients face.
