Microlife compressor nebulizer is a modern device designed for home inhalations. It is used to treat colds in children and adults. Inhalation is the fastest and easiest way to deliver the drug to the patient’s lungs. The device splits any medicine into microparticles and sprays it into the air. Such a device is much more effective than conventional inhalation.
Principle of operation
In the Microlife Neb nebulizer, the liquid is split with a jet of air that is supplied under pressure. The principle of action, in many ways, is similar to an aerosol. The working gas is supplied from the compressor through a special hole. At the exit, a sharp decrease in pressure occurs, and the gas velocity increases. This leads to the suction of fluid from the tank.
Microlife nebulizer is universal, therefore it is ideal for most medicines. The user can select one of the operating modes and independently regulate the flow of medicine. This ensures optimal consumption of the drug, as well as targeted delivery of the drug to a specific organ of the respiratory system. Also, the device is equipped with a special valve system. During exhalation, the valve closes and the drug is stopped.
Device advantages
When using this device, there is no need for heating drugs. Since the device has small dimensions, it can be used in any convenient place. The manufacturer has developed such models that can work even from the cigarette lighter in the car. The device can be used by people of any age categories, even infants. The device can be used as a prevention of respiratory diseases.
Microlife Nebulizer requires a small amount of medication to work effectively. The device has an affordable price, so it is widely popular. The nebulizer is effective not only in the treatment of flu, colds and coughs, but also in asthma, as well as allergies. The drug goes directly to the source of infection, so the disease can be cured in a short period of time. The manufacturer provides a guarantee for the device - 5 years, as well as warranty service for 10 years.
Device disadvantages
Microlife nebulizers are manufactured in Switzerland, so we can talk about their high quality and work efficiency. However, despite the advantages of this device, some users have identified some disadvantages. First of all, this is the noisy work of the nebulizer. Children are afraid of loud sound, so they may be afraid when using the device. Some users note that the air supply pipe is loose. Patients who have mastered the principle of the device can quickly deal with components on their own. However, some users say that the manual has a confusing and inadequate description, which prevents the full use of the Microlife compressor nebulizer.
