The proneb ultra one I believe. The proneb two just came out, right? Anyway, it's about 3-4 years old. I LOVE the compactness of it, plus there's a thing on the side to hold the neb cups. I'm always hanging the neb cup on the devilbiss on a juice glass on the night stand and forever knocking it off.

Devilbiss -- pulmozyme takes about 5 minutes. Albuterol (.5) and vial of atrovent takes about 15-20 minutes. Tobi takes 23 minutes.

When blopunky was about a year old(give or take) he had his second
bout with bronchitis. We were given a devilbiss at that time and
believe it or not it is still going strong! When he was dx
 with cf  he was given a pari(sorry i forgot exact kind).
It would not function right-even after we had it looked at, it kept
popping the tubing off. I don't know if this is okay or not(never
asked), but I use the devilbiss for his al, pulmo, and tobi. I use
seperate tubing for each though. About 13 minutes for al, 8 min.
for pulmo., and 25 for tobi. Does anyone know of any problems doing
it this way?

Just wanted to bring this back to the top because I too am looking to buy a new compressor.

My ProNeb Ultra sounds like a motorboat and doesn't always switch on when I turn it on. It was within warranty and they told me that I spilled something in it so that they didn't need to fix it and that there wasn't anything wrong with it by the way. It sort of turned me off of Pari. I may still use them because I have enjoyed their services for years but I'm open. Another thing that gets me is why don't they have the Pari ProNeb II on their site? Oh and Laura I tried to get the green one. I even had my prescription written with that barcode # and the gray one still arrived. Good luck!
