In the growing field of home respiratory therapy, nebulizers play a key role in managing asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions. But not all nebulizers are created equal—especially when it comes to therapeutic effectiveness, device selection, and compliance in international markets.

At Tanlekang Healthcare, we believe that real value comes not from visible mist volume or appearance, but from what’s behind the design: particle precision, regulatory-grade safety, and reliable manufacturing standards. Here's what you should know.

Mist Volume ≠ Better Treatment

A common misunderstanding among users is that more mist means better results. In reality, particle size is what determines drug delivery efficiency.

• Optimal particle size is 2–5μm—small enough to reach the lower respiratory tract and alveoli.

• Larger particles (>5μm) deposit in the throat or upper airway, reducing therapeutic impact.

Whether for hospital use or home care, devices must be tested for consistent particle size distribution to ensure targeted lung delivery.

Nebulizer Types and Suitability

Different nebulizer technologies serve different needs. Selecting the right one depends on the intended user group, drug type, and usage environment.

Each has its strengths. For example, mesh nebulizers offer excellent portability and low noise but require proper maintenance to avoid clogging.

Hygiene is Not Optional

As semi-critical medical devices, nebulizers must be cleaned thoroughly to avoid contamination—especially in homes with children, the elderly, or chronic patients.

Recommended care:

After each use: Disassemble, rinse, air-dry

Weekly: Disinfect with approved solution or boil if heat-safe

Neglecting hygiene risks bacterial buildup and compromises patient safety.

What Professionals Should Look For

For healthcare brands, distributors, or procurement teams, performance and compliance determine market success—not just price or basic features.

Key Considerations:

Therapeutic accuracy: Consistent aerosol output and validated drug compatibility

Material safety: Biocompatibility and resistance to medication corrosion

Global compliance: Devices must meet EU MDR, FDA, or other regional standards—covering electrical safety, EMC, and clinical evaluation

Reliable OEM support: A qualified medical device OEM partner should offer engineering guidance, test validation, and traceable supply chain control

Choosing the wrong partner can lead to delayed certification, recalls, or regulatory penalties.
