You can buy a filter for a nebulizer at just about any pharmacy. Just to be on the safe side, I'd make a phone call before I drove to the pharmacy. If you were asking where you could buy a nebulizer filter online, go to opentip.com, csnstores.com, jrsmedical.com, amazon.com & the list goes on and on. I hope that helps!
This will vary by model. Pari compressors have a small round, slotted cover which holds the filter. Other manufacturers may place them in other locations, such as the side, or the back. Filters should be replaced on a regular schedule, such as every six (6) months, depending on use. Pari rates their filters for 500 hours, but recommends replacing the filter when you replace the nebulizer cup (if using reusable cups), which should be every 6 months to 1 year.
From Pari.com: What is the best way to clean and disinfect my PARI Nebulizer?
Cleaning:
After every treatment, thoroughly rinse the nebulizer to remove
medication. Hand-wash with warm water and dish soap. Rinse thoroughly.
OR... Wash in the dishwasher using a dishwasher basket on the top rack.
Disinfecting: (done after cleaning) every 2nd treatment day, mix a
solution of 1 part distilled white vinegar and 3 parts warm tap water
in a clean bowl. Soak the nebulizer parts (except the tubing and mask)
for 60 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. OR... Mix a solution using Control
III® Nebulizer Disinfectant and soak for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
OR... Boil the nebulizer parts for 10 minutes.
If your unit is the one pictured, he cup with the medication can be taken apart to be cleaned... the top unscrews and the nebulizer comes out....and should be done so after every use. Do not use house hold chemicals to clean the unit. Use a water/distilled vinegar mixture to clean, then rinse with clean water.
