Can this be used in a nebulizer as a breathing treatment?

While I can't answer that directly, I would think you could, I do use it nightly in my CPAP.

I would definitely ask your doctor about a nebulizer treatment, and I don't know what you are treating exactly. It can be put in a vaporizer, and be of help, or put some in the tub when you or persons needing treatment takes a bath. :)

I believe it can go to 100%. I have resealed it since my cat died. I may need it for my other cat as she is developing asthma as well. I used it in an oxygen chamber, just laid it inside. You should be able to insert T in your O2 line with the sensor attached at that point.

I don't think it would be a good substitute for a machine that one uses for albuterol treatments. I used to need one of those machines and no, I don't think it would work nearly as well as the nebulizer, which delivers medication to a mouthpiece and more directly in to the lungs. This is more meant to be something like the effect you get from showering when you have a cold. It loosens your sinuses and moisturizes them and helps your lungs if you breathe deeply. It's meant more for a cold or sinusitis, not asthma or severe allergies or pneumonia which necessitate a nebulizer. I eventually bought my own nebulizer when I was badly afflicted with allergies, and there is no way this machine would have been as effective for helping me as the nebulizer was.

I would not try it. I usr it in a diffuser and it barely makes a noticeable difference. The aromatic properties are weak.

I've never used a netti pot. A doctor recommended that I use this. I had a persistent cough for many, many months and they could never find anything serious that was causing it. So, this particular dr. suggested that I use this, along with giving me a prescription for some type of nose spray (sorry, I don't remember the name of that) to use daily. It did help, and I've been using it now for over a year.

I would not do that. Use it to disinfect it BEFORE you add water. Let it sit in the container as per the instructions on the bottle, for disinfection. If you want to add to the water, use an essential oil such as eucalyptus, rosemary etc.. They have disinfection properties, would be safer to breathe, and can do some healing to the lungs. Good luck! My opinions are my own, and are not for the purpose of diagnosing or treating diseases etc.. :0) Would be glad to answer any other ques you may have, if i can!

This particular spirometer is for inhalation therapy according to manufacturer specs. Hope this helps.

The nebulizer does not add any humidity (or water) to the atmosphere due to the fact that no water is involved with the process of dispersion. Only the substance in the attached bottle of oil is dispersed. Some other types of diffusers that required water will add to the humidity of the atmosphere (or room) where it is operating.

The packaging clearly states it turns off when there is no more water. So while the unit may not turn "off", the nebulizer will stop and no harm will be done to the unit.

Nebulizers generally are used to dispense drugs in mist form into the lungs. The SinuSense doesn't work in that fashion it is to literally flush the sinuses out, you exhale (via the mouth) while using SinuSense as such can't see where the two are compatible.

Yes it definitely helps with inhalation . I use it just to increase my endurance breathing when exercising or running. When used regularly it does increase lung capacity. I am a nurse and whenever patients came out of surgery the first thing we did was start them breathing apparatus to start exercises to get lung muscle moving.

Not really. It's designed to remove allergens. The air goes into the purifier and heats up to 400 degrees to kill spores, bacteria other living organisms. It won't filter smoke.

Depending on how big the nebulizer is, yes. My SUV has a plug in the back and we have plugged a playstation to it. It is, however, a different plug than the one for a cig. lighter.

Yes, once you dilute the concentrate it is meant to be sprayed onto surfaces. There is not a problem spraying it as an aerosol. I would recommend using appropriate personal protection equipment, such as a mask and goggles because it can be irritating and make you cough slightly. They claim that it is safe despite the mild cough that it can elicit in some people. I personally use it daily and I'm very happy with the product.

I have used mine with all kinds of chemicals, except bleach based. You want to make sure that you do not breathe in these chemicals, since these particles are very fine mist, and can be inhaled into the lungs easily. I absolutely love my machine, and it works well for most applications.

Package literature says yes with doc's approval. I don't think this handheld unit will work like a full blown home use 10 to 15 min nebulizer however, I have not tried. This replacement unit (after recall) does work better in delivering asthmanefrin medication tho. Perhaps with time they will perfect a pocket sized nebulizer after all.

I don't see why not. I am using it in a dental office to replace a steam sterilizer that stopped working. If it doesn't hurt baby bottle nipples, then it should be safe for the CPAP mask and tubes.
