Respiratory diseases can be treated not only with syrups and tablets, but they can also inhale the airways. The advantage of this method of treatment is simplicity, effectiveness and the ability to speed up the healing process. When inhaled, the drug to the respiratory system is delivered in the form of an aerosol or vapor. The device for inhalation is called a nebulizer. Nebulizer "Microlife Neb 10" is one of the highest quality and most effective.
User reviews
This device is universal because it can be sprayed with many drugs. Users like the ease of use. A device such as the Neb 10 Microlife Nebulizer, which most users leave positive reviews, can also be used as a prophylaxis. The advantage of the device is:
- lack of need for heating the medicinal composition;
- fast drug delivery to the source of infection;
- relatively affordable cost.
An important feature of the compressor nebulizer is efficiency, it is provided by a special valve. After inhaling the aerosol, it blocks the output of the drug, which leads to a decrease in its consumption.
Despite the high quality, some users note some disadvantages:
- reduced pressure force due to unreliable fixation of the air supply tube;
- high noise level of the compressor;
- during prolonged use, the handset may fall off;
- not very clear instructions.
Although this inhaler is light and small, many find it cumbersome.
Equipment

Three modes of inhalation
In the nebulizer "Microlife Neb 10" you can safely use various medications that are intended for this kind of therapy. There are 3 modes of inhalation:
- The first involves the spraying of particles ranging in size from 1 to 5 microns, which penetrate directly into the lungs.
- The second - particles of 6-9 microns in size also participate in the treatment of the lower respiratory tract, but will not get into the lungs. They will settle in the bronchi, trachea and larynx.
- The third position is particles of 10-14 microns in size for the treatment of the upper respiratory tract - the nasopharynx and other organs located in the throat.

User's manual
In the instructions of the nebulizer "Microlife Neb 10" it is described that inhalation can be carried out only when the chamber is filled not lower than the smallest border of 2 ml. The doctor should prescribe the medicine for the procedure. It is diluted solely with saline, which are separately allowed to perform inhalations for preventive purposes. Between breaths, you need to make 30 second pauses.
It must be borne in mind that with prolonged use of the device, adverse reactions such as vomiting and dizziness may occur.
After the session, the inhaler must be rinsed, cleaned and dried. The air filter must be replaced on time. During operation, you do not need to close the device, many users so muffle noise. Such actions lead to a quick breakdown of the device.
Rules for handling an inhaler
If all measures for cleaning and disinfection of the inhaler are observed, then the spread of infection can be prevented. It is necessary to clean the device from the remains of the drug mixture for its normal operation. The fact is that there are drugs that crystallize, and this can damage parts or prevent the composition from spraying.
Before starting to clean the inhaler, wash your hands well. Then make sure that it is disconnected from the network. After each session, rinse the components of the nebulizer except the compressor with clean hot water and a mild detergent. After that, rinse and wipe with absorbent tissues.
In addition, 2 times a week, it is necessary to disinfect all parts of the device, with the exception of the compressor. To do this, masks and an air tube are immersed in a bactericidal solution, and the nebulizer chamber and nozzles made of hard plastic are simply boiled for 10 minutes. The compressor is wiped with a clean cloth using a mild detergent. Liquid must not be allowed to enter. Nozzles must be replaced every 3 months. It is forbidden to clean the holes of the inhaler with needles, this will lead to a change in diameter and, as a result, the aerosol will lose the desired dispersion.
Operating principle
The principle of operation of the Neb 10 Microlife nebulizer is based on a method called the Bernoulli effect. The gas supplied by the compressor enters the inhaler chamber. The capacity for drugs and essential oils is 12 ml. Upon exit, a significant decrease in pressure occurs, which leads to the absorption of liquid. Upon contact with air, the treatment mixture breaks up into the smallest particles in the way of which the damper is located. She makes them tiny. This secondary aerosol is used by humans for inhalation.
Possible malfunctions of the Neb 10 Microlife nebulizer
Incorrect operation and prolonged operation of the device may result in:
- deformation of one of the parts;
- clogging;
- breakdown.
One of the most common malfunctions is that the device does not respond to any manipulations, it also happens that:
- on and off buttons break;
- the device is clogged with oil substances;
- the included inhaler makes noisy and intermittent sounds;
- the medicine is not sprayed into fine dust;
- the integrity of the power cord is violated;
- the filter is damaged and clogged;
- The compressor or board is malfunctioning.
If the nebulizer falls, it will lead to deformation. If a malfunction is detected, it is necessary to contact specialists who, with the help of special equipment, will find the cause of the breakdown, replace inoperative parts and give tips on how to avoid breakdowns in the future.
