How To Clean It
The new Touchspray® Technology utilizes a vibrating membrane technology for liquid aerosol generation. The result is a low-velocity aerosol with a precisely defined range of droplet sizes.
The eFlow® SCF technology platform combines two key nebulization principles - a high percentage of the delivered dose within the respirable range and a high flow rate - to significantly reduce nebulization times.
Features include:
No compressor or propellant required
Small - fits in the palm of your hand
Lightweight - 9.5 ounces with batteries
Silent - no noise during treatments!

Is It Available?
The eFlow® SCF was cleared for marketing and use by the FDA on May 5, 2004. It is available exclusively through The Respiratory Disease Network (RDN), a group of specialty pharmacies created to better address the specific needs of people affected by CF. Their trained staff of pharmacists currently support over 390 physicians currently prescribing the eFlow® SCF for their patients.
What Medications Can Be Used In It?
The FDA has cleared the eFlow® SCF for use "with patients for whom doctors have prescribed medication for nebulization. The eFlow is intended for adult and pediatric patients." For the medications you should use with the eFlow® SCF, please consult your physician.

We have surveyed over 120 patients using eFlow…Here is what they had to say!
- 80% are experiencing treatment times of under 6 minutes with the eFlow® SCF, compared to only 11% with their old nebulizers.
- 97% of those surveyed ranked a shorter treatment time as a "very important" or "somewhat important" feature.
- 96% of those surveyed ranked portability of the nebulizer / compressor system as a "very important" or "somewhat important" feature.
The eflow is the best device to come along in years. It makes doing my daughter's nebulized meds so much easier. Instead of spending 30 minutes to an hour every morning and evening we can do everything in 10 minutes or less - If we are running late, we can take the eflow with us in the car. It is a device I would highly recommend to anyone.

SourceCF is among the best and easiest to work with in getting supplies and a new compact eflow nebulizer. They rushed to get me everything I needed for a trip to the far side of the planet in New Zealand. The equipment worked great. It was lighter, more compact, faster, and more efficient than anything I have ever used. The customer service is the friendliest and easiest to work with, when reordering meds. I love them.

I've had my E-Flow machine now for about four months and love it! It makes my breathing treatments so much easier and still delivers a powerful dose of medication! It is also lightweight and portable making it very easy to travel with - thank you!!
