Nebulizer machines are often quite varied with their level of output and options. The 50 PSI Compressor by Drive Medical is a robust compressor that delivers nebulization aerosol at a variable strength rate. It can also provide straight humidification for the user. This ultra-powerful machine is the workhorse among Drive Medical Nebulizer Compressors and will provide years worth of respiratory therapy.
The 50 PSI Compressor is designed for efficient, continuous high-pressure delivery. It will provide humidification, while also having the ability to deliver high-pressure nebulization of viscous medications -- output pressures with what clinical studies have indicated are required for optimal particle size (2 microns or less). The compressor is also quiet due to the uniquely designed WOB-L piston. It has a regulator with five settings to adjust the PSI output -- from 0-50 PSI.
This machine is lightweight despite the powerful compressor it houses. It is durable and easy to clean and has a removable door that protects the internal components. It is holds a one-year limited warranty through Drive Medical.
