The Japanese company AND uses innovative technologies in the production of medical devices and maintains product quality at a consistently high level. AED inhalers fully comply with the manufacturer's guidelines. Each model is unique and interesting to the consumer in its own way. We offer to choose "your" inhaler from 4 options: CN-231, CN-232 (for children), CN-233, CN-234. Below we will talk about how the devices differ from each other and what are their common features.

Common features

All 4 devices are compressor inhalers. Therefore, the principle of operation is the same for everyone. In short, the work looks like this. The compressor blows air, which flows through the connecting tube into the medicine container. There is a baffle in the container, thanks to which the inhalation liquid turns into an aerosol consisting of microscopic particles of the drug. The healing steam has a neutral taste and a comfortable temperature. When inhaled, it is delivered directly to the site of inflammation.

Inhalation therapy allows you to achieve recovery in the shortest possible time. AND inhalers are effective against any diseases of the respiratory system (bronchitis, acute respiratory infections, asthma, etc.), and can also be used for prophylaxis. The devices work with any modern drugs, including mucolytics, antibiotics, hormonal agents and others. The exception is oils, herbal solutions and decoctions. In any case, you should focus on the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

Inhalers operate in a single mode and have one on and off button on their body. Therefore, the devices are extremely easy to learn. The instructions with pictures show how to properly assemble the medicine container and attach it to the device. There are no small details. And taking care of the existing ones is not difficult.

AND inhalers have one feature that distinguishes them from inhalation devices from other manufacturers. The compressor cannot run indefinitely (we will describe the optimal operating time below), so it is equipped with a temperature protection function. After a certain interval (each model has its own), the inhaler turns off automatically. However, we recommend that consumers keep track of the time themselves and do not expose the device to the risk of overheating.

8 differences of compressor inhalers AND

Let's take a look at the main differences between the devices.

1. Particle size generated
   Above, we noted that the generated aerosol has a different dispersion. Small particles penetrate deep into the lungs, larger particles settle in the nasopharynx. For models CN-231, CN-232, the average size of generated particles is 4 microns, for CN-233 the dispersion is 5 microns, for CN-234 - 3 microns.
2. Performance
   The higher the performance of the device, the faster the medicine will become aerosolized and, therefore, the less time the procedure will take. All AND inhalers have high performance, and it differs slightly between devices. It is the same for CN-231, CN-232 - 0.2 ml / min. For CN-233 - 0.25 ml / min, for CN-234 - 0.23 ml / min.
3. Equipment
   The complete set of the considered devices is practically the same. CN-231, CN-232, CN-233 and CN-234 come with two masks (child and adult), mouthpiece, semi-soft case, connecting tube, medication bottle and power cord. Please note that the CN-232 is marketed as a baby inhaler. But thanks to the complete set, all family members, without exception, can use it. The case is designed for storage and transportation - this is a small but important detail. Also, all devices are supplied with a set of spare filters. Only the CN-231, CN-232 and CN-233 have 5 filters, while the CN-234 has 10!
4. Medicine container volume
   The larger the volume of the container for the inhalation liquid, the longer the procedure can be carried out without interruption. Inhalers CN-231, CN-232 are equipped with a capacity of 13 ml, CN-233 - 6 ml, CN-234 - 7 ml. But do not rush to give preference to the first two devices. Inhaler CN-234 has one important feature. After inhalation, there is always some medication left that will have to be discarded. So, this model has the smallest residue - 0.95 ml. Whereas other devices have a remainder of 2 ml.
5. Profitability
   AND inhalers CN-231, CN-232, and CN-233 operate normally and are not economical. Compares favorably with them CN-234. The mouthpiece it comes with has a two-valve system. During the procedure, the valves are alternately closed and opened. On inspiration, the valve closes and the concentration of the incoming aerosol increases. And on exhalation, the valve opens. As a result, aerosol losses are minimized.
6. Noise level
   Inhalers are far from silent, due to the principle of aerosol production (with the help of a compressor). The noise level of CN-231, CN-232 and CN-233 is 60 dB, while for CN-234 it reaches 70 dB.
7. Compressor power - continuous running time
   Inhalers CN-231, CN-232 are the most powerful, they can work without interruption for 1 hour. The CN-233 should be turned off for half an hour every 30 minutes, and the CN-234 should be turned off after 20 minutes of operation. Rest time for the last model is 40 minutes.
8. Design
   Note that AND inhalers have a thoughtful and easy-to-use design. The medicine containers are equipped with legs that prevent them from turning over during filling. The long connecting tube allows a considerable distance from the working device. But there are also features:
   • CN-231 weighs 1.5 kg. The weight is rather big, but it will be easy for you to carry it by the handle on the case.
   • CN-232 is the manufacturer's brightest and most memorable inhaler. The device is made in the form of a toy - a whale. The weight of the device is 1.6 kg. Rubberized feet on the base prevent slipping. The whale's tail has a holder for a medicine container.
   • CN-233 is a fairly light device, its weight is 1.2 kg.
   • But the most compact AND inhaler is the CN-234. Its weight is 345g! The dimensions of the device are comparable to a smartphone - 85 × 45 × 120 mm. There is a removable anti-slip rubber pad on the base of the device. It can be removed, but it is better to operate the device with a pad to avoid falling.

Which inhaler is better?

The inhalers listed are reliable, powerful and stylish devices. If you are choosing a device for a child, the CN-232 should be preferred. For frequent use, the CN-231 is suitable. CN-233 is distinguished by its lighter weight and greater dispersion of the aerosol. And the CN-234 is worth choosing if you are looking for a compact and economical inhalation device.

Most importantly, all inhalers are highly effective in the fight against diseases of the respiratory system!

Comparative table of device characteristics

For the prevention and treatment of diseases of the respiratory system, it is recommended to use a compressor inhaler and CN 232. It allows you to inject drugs directly into the respiratory tract - an effective and safe way to fight viruses and colds for adults and children.

Exterior

The inhaler does not look like a medical device, but like a cute and funny kitten. Parents know how difficult it is to persuade a child to inhale.

At the bottom of the main unit are all the important elements: a compressor, a connecting tube connector, a control button, an air filter cover. The manufacturer has thought through everything to the smallest detail - a functional "tail", a convenient holder, an attractive design.
