Novamed Ultrasonic Mesh Nebulizer - N-12, 1 Pack

A mesh nebuliser works differently from a compressor. Instead of forcing air through liquid, it vibrates a fine mesh to produce the mist, which means it is almost silent, runs on batteries and fits in a pocket. It can also be used at an angle rather than strictly upright, which matters when treating a child who will not sit still or someone who cannot sit up easily.

The trade-off is cost and care. Mesh units cost more than compressors and the mesh itself is delicate, so it needs cleaning properly and will eventually need replacing.

Benefits

• Quiet operation makes a real difference with a frightened child, where compressor noise is often the problem
• Battery powered and pocket sized, so it travels rather than living beside a socket
• Can be used at an angle, which suits treating a sleeping child or someone who cannot sit upright
• Wastes less medication than a compressor, since less is left in the cup at the end
• The mesh is delicate. Clean it exactly as the manual says or it will block

How to Use

• Read the manual and clean all parts that contact medication before first use
• Add only the medication and dose prescribed by your doctor
• Breathe normally through the mouthpiece or mask until the mist stops
• Clean the mesh and cup after every use, following the manual exactly
• Never scrub or poke the mesh. It damages easily
• Seek urgent medical help if breathing worsens rather than repeating treatments
