Due to recent events, the Omron MicroAir will remain in short supply from us and from others as Omron are not currently in a position to restock its distributors.
This is only a temporary hiccup and they should become available again in June. Those of you who may be holidaying in July or August don’t panic, supplies will be on the way. For those of you who need a portable nebuliser now, have you considered the Philips Respironics MicroElite
The MicroElite is becoming increasingly popular. It is a portable mini compressor which operates on similar principles to other nebulisers but weighs only 450g, and that’s including its rechargeable lithium battery, which lasts up to 60minutes and recharges in just 3 hours. Competitively priced at £99 a mains lead and a D.C lead for plugging into your car are also included. All this fits neatly into a small carry bag and because it is a mini compressor the operating system is very familiar to those of you who already have a larger nebuliser at home
Important elements favoured by many of you are, that unlike the MicroAir:
- It can be placed on a surface and used hands free with the driveline which is included and the mask which we supply free of charge.
- That coming complete with its own rechargeable battery saves you both time and money, providing a one stop solution.
- And the included international travel adaptors plus its multi-volt capability means it really does provide total portability.
UPDATE JUNE 2011: Omron MicroAir is now back in stock
Is this just the Omron make or is it the Clemment Clark generic version as well?
ReplyDeleteI know there are problems with sourcing some battery and electronic components from Japan at the moment due to the Earthquake and Tsunami.
(Thoughts still with them despite other news issues taking over..........)

Hi Kate
ReplyDeleteAs far as we are aware there may be some Micronebs still available but as Omron manufactures both models we don't know for how long. Hopefully the situation will be resolved around June.
Our thanks to everyone for their understanding
Kind Regards Gail
