anyone know about the AeroNeb Go by EVO?

hey I was looking into "travel" nebulizers/compressors and stumbled across this.

here's the link I found-
www.phc-online.com/EVO_Nebulizer_p/aeroneb-go.htm

Wondering specifically how effective it is and whether or not I could do TOBI/Pulmozyme in it...
I know it can't be as effective as an eflow or anything but if it nebs just like a standard compressor would it would be a great portable option.



wanted to add-
we hear about the 'mainstream' compressor and nebs-the devillbiss, pari, omron but there are TONS of brands out there. I'm wondering in general what most of us are using. I'm considering veering off the mainstream and finding another brand I like.

I have one, and I love it, but it took me a while to find out if it was boilable (still not 100% sure, but the company reps I emailed said it <i>should</i> be- er...(I will be giving it the ol' test soon, since it's supposed to be replaced every year, and I'm coming up on a year now, lol) and mine didn't come with a battery pack.

I hadn't ever heard of an Aeroneb Go until I got one with my nebulized sinus meds, so I had to research it. The pharmacist I spoke with said I could use it with my Xopenex, just to make sure I didn't get too much med (I use a low dose, so no problem). I am also not too worried about too much Xopenex, as the Go doesn't have a one way valve like the eFlow- if you exhale into it, the med blows out the back. It is a mesh nebulizer like the eFlow, though, and a good bit cheaper.

I found an Australian site that said it could be used with Pulmozyme, and here are some links from old posts I put up:

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.ersnet.org/ers/show/download.aspx?id_attach=13527 ">nebulizer comparisons</a>

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=25421&highlight_key=y&keyword1=Aeroneb%20Go">forum link to studies of Pulmozyme and Tobi with Aeroneb Go</a>

And here is part of the email that the guy at Evo received and forwarded to me pertaining to my questions:

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>...The new product we
delivered them should have been from the new material that can be boiled. (
slightly different in color - not as white as prior version) He/She can use
on other medications, but should have the new version so it can be boiled.
Some of the medication will be off label use like Tobi, no different than
eFlow.

Dosage will have to be discussed with Physician. The Go uses all the
medication and delivers a more effective dose than the Pari LC Plus so a
smaller dose could possibly be required. With the Pari you are dumping out
a % of the medication and in general the particles are not all the optimal
size and do not enter the lungs.

I do not have any knowledge on the drug comparison he/she is making from
Australia.

Hope this helps</end quote></div>


I tried to print out a specifications page to take to my doctor, but my old printer is not recognizing the font, so I have to tweak it before I can take it to my dr to discuss it. I don't know where the link to that page is at the moment (I'll have to dig to find it), but I can look for it later if you'd like it.

However, as soon as I do that I will be taking all this info to clinic, and hopefully ordering one with a battery pack this time <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> . It is completely quiet, very small (smaller than a Pari LC+, and all there is is the neb, cord (and battery pack if you are using it), has only 3 parts and requires no special storage/treatment like the eFlow (which is one reason, other than cost, that I haven't tried to get an eFlow). The Go takes regular batteries, and can be used with HS.
