7 best Omron nebulizers

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

A nebulizer is a convenient purchase for any home, because thanks to it, it is possible to halve or even triple the duration of any disease associated with the respiratory system. It would seem that the device does not differ in complexity, but how to choose the appropriate option? Let's try to understand this issue in our rating of the best.

About choosing a nebulizer

Several factors are important to consider when choosing the right nebulizer:

1. Device type – nebulizers are divided into 3 types. Compression (activated by inhalation) is the best option when using expensive drugs, since they minimize drug consumption. Ultrasound (they are compact, noiseless) – it is worth choosing medicines for them very carefully, since some are destroyed under the influence of ultrasound. Mesh nebulizers (membrane) are incredibly effective, can be used at any angle, and are expensive.
2. The size of the particles produced – the effectiveness of the treatment of diseases depends on the size of the particles produced by the device. Large particles (5-10 microns) settle in the pharynx, trachea. Middle (1-5 microns) – in the lower respiratory tract. Small (0.5-1 microns) – in the pulmonary alveoli.
3. Aerosol spraying speed – the duration of inhalation depends on this parameter. The factor is important for those who would not like to sit with an inhaler for 20 minutes every time.
4. Appearance – especially relevant when choosing a nebulizer for a child. Fortunately, for young users of the device, there are models with a bright design and cute accessories in the form of toys.

Omron Comp Air NE-C300 Complete

Rating: 4.8

A unique model of a compressor device with a very convenient feature: during inhalation, the device creates an aerosol with optimal functionality for the treatment of certain respiratory diseases. The presence of a mode switch makes it possible to regulate the concentration of the drug entering the respiratory tract.

In position 1, the concentration of the drug is suitable for the treatment of infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract – rhinitis, sinusitis, as well as inflammation of the tonsils and throat. In position 2, the concentration of the drug is suitable for combating inflammatory diseases of the trachea. Position 3 – with diseases of the bronchi.

The NE-C300 Complete is one of the few registered variable spray models. The inhaler is ideal for use at home by both children and adults.

Advantages

• 3 spray modes;
• a small residue of medication in the chamber;
• the aerosol is fed directly;
• aerosol feed rate (0.15 ml / min);
• large area of ​​impact.

disadvantages

• noisy (65 dB).

Omron Comp Air NE-C24 Kids

Rating: 4.7

The model is perfect for the treatment of respiratory diseases of various etiologies in users of any age, but was developed for the needs of babies. Bright, stylish design, toy accessories, a small mask – everything is designed taking into account the peculiarities of children: the inhalation process turns into an exciting game, does not frighten or irritate the child.

An important feature of the NE-C24 Kids model (as, indeed, of most models of Omron nebulizers) is the virtual valve system (VVT). The design features of the chamber make it possible to simplify the process of aerosol inhalation and to minimize the consumption of the drug.

The NE-C24 Kids nebulizer is suitable for the treatment of respiratory diseases of the lower respiratory tract of various etiologies (including allergic ones). The device does not contain small parts, which simplifies its use and reduces the cost of purchasing consumables.

Advantages

• bright design;
• compactness of the device (270 g – compressor);
• high productivity (0.3 ml / min);
• VVT;
• low noise (46 dB).

disadvantages

Omron Comp Air NE-C24

Rating: 4.7

The model has proven itself in the treatment of colds, infections of the lower respiratory system. The device can be used for preventive purposes to prevent chronic diseases of various etiologies (including allergic ones). The nebulizer is neat in size and is perfect for both hospital and home use.

The Virtual Valve System (VVT) minimizes the flow of medication used. NE-C24 effectively acts on areas affected by an infectious disease due to fine particles (3 microns). Nebulizer models like Omron Comp Air NE-C24 are designed for a certain range of drugs: oils and decoctions with coarse particles (visible) are not suitable for NE-C24.

The model does not use silicone valves (inhale-exhale). Instead, spaced slots are used: the power of the generated flow makes the device a suitable option for babies, as well as people with a weakened respiratory system.

Advantages

• high productivity (0.3 ml / min);
• compactness (270 g);
• noiseless operation (46 dB);
• virtual valves;
• a variety of drugs used.

disadvantages

• not detected.

Omron Comp Air NE-C21 Basic

Rating: 4.6

The compressor model is suitable for highly effective treatment of diseases of allergic / respiratory etiology (the age of the user is not critical). The device is ideal for both stationary use and for home use. The improved nebulizer chamber has increased productivity up to 0.3 ml / min.

How it works: the medicine is mixed with the air supplied by the compressor. The finished aerosol, in contact with the deflector, breaks down into particles of various sizes. Their predominant part falls deep into the lower respiratory system (about 70%), the rest remains in the nasopharynx. Thus, the entire respiratory system is effectively treated.

The angle of the inhalation procedure specified by the device is no more than 450. This is the optimal location of the device for maximum efficiency of its use.

Advantages

• compactness (180 g – compressor);
• low noise (45 dB);
• high performance;
• aerosol feed rate (0.05 ml / min).

disadvantages

• no virtual valves.
