Types of POC Nebulizers- Compressor (Jet) Nebulizers: These use compressed air to create a mist. They are widely available, durable, and can be used with most types of medication. While generally more affordable, they tend to be bulkier and noisier than other types.
- Ultrasonic Nebulizers: These use high-frequency sound vibrations to produce aerosol mist. They are quieter than compressor models but are more expensive and may not be compatible with all medications, as the heat generated can degrade some drugs.
- Vibrating Mesh Nebulizers: This is the newest technology, using a vibrating mesh or plate to aerosolize the medication. They are highly efficient, portable, very quiet (often less than 25dB), and provide fast treatment times. They are generally the most expensive option.
