# MistPro Nebulizer FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

> Answers to common questions about the SonoHealth MistPro Portable Mesh Nebulizer: setup, medications, cleaning, compatibility, and warranty.

The SonoHealth MistPro is an FDA-approved portable mesh nebulizer (\$69) that turns liquid medication or sterile saline into an ultra-fine mist in about 5–7 minutes — near-silent, USB-C rechargeable, and complete with adult and child masks. Below are answers to the most common questions about setup, medications, cleaning, and buying.

## Product & Technology

**What is the MistPro Nebulizer?**
The MistPro is SonoHealth's FDA-approved portable mesh nebulizer. It uses vibrating mesh technology to convert liquid medication into an ultra-fine mist for inhalation. Price: \$69. Includes masks for children and adults.

**What technology does MistPro use?**
Vibrating mesh (piezoelectric) technology — the most advanced type of home nebulizer. The mesh vibrates at ultrasonic frequencies to produce 1–5 micron particles ideal for deep lung penetration. No compressor, no noise, no heat.

**Is it FDA approved?**
Yes. The MistPro is FDA approved as a medical device.

**What is included with the MistPro?**
The MistPro includes the handheld nebulizer device, medication cup with vibrating mesh, and masks for children and adults. Medication is not included.

## Setup and Use

**How do I use the MistPro?**
Add medication or saline to the medication cup, attach a mask or mouthpiece, press the power button once, and breathe normally until the cup is empty. See the full [How It Works guide](/nebulizer/how-it-works).

**Does the nebulizer come with medication?**
No. SonoHealth is not licensed to sell medication. Saline solution for inhalation is available on Amazon. Prescription nebulizer medications (albuterol, etc.) require a prescription from your doctor.

**Can I use saline in it?**
Yes. 0.9% isotonic saline for inhalation is the most commonly used OTC solution. Saline nebulization helps with airway hydration and mucus thinning.

**Can this be used on an infant?**
Yes, when using saline solution. SonoHealth's FAQ specifically states: "if you are just using a Saline Solution for Inhalation, then you can use this with an infant." For prescription medications in infants, consult your pediatrician first.

**How long does a treatment take?**
Typically about 5–7 minutes, depending on medication volume (a little longer for larger fills). The vibrating mesh technology delivers medication significantly faster than the 15–20 minutes typical of jet nebulizers.

## Medications

**What medications can I use with MistPro?**
Compatible medications include albuterol sulfate, ipratropium bromide, budesonide (Pulmicort Respules), levalbuterol, and saline solutions. See [Medications Compatible](/nebulizer/medications-compatible) for the full list.

**Can I mix medications in the cup?**
Some medications can be combined (such as albuterol and ipratropium, as in the commercially prepared DuoNeb). Do not mix medications without explicit guidance from your physician or pharmacist.

**What should I NOT put in the nebulizer?**
Do not use essential oils, tap water, IV fluids not formulated for inhalation, or any substance not specifically labeled for nebulization. See [Medications Compatible](/nebulizer/medications-compatible) for full details.

## Cleaning and Maintenance

**How do I clean the MistPro?**
Rinse all detachable components (medication cup, mask) with warm water after each use. Air dry completely. Perform a weekly disinfection with mild soap or diluted white vinegar. See the [Cleaning Guide](/nebulizer/cleaning-guide) for full instructions.

**Can I put parts in the dishwasher?**
Check your device documentation — many mesh nebulizer components are not dishwasher-safe. Hand washing with mild soap is recommended.

**How do I unclog the mesh?**
Run the device with a 1:1 white vinegar/distilled water solution for 1–2 minutes, then follow with a plain water rinse. Do not insert any objects into the mesh holes.

## Purchasing and Support

**How much does MistPro cost?**
$69 at [SonoHealth.com](https://sonohealth.com/products/portable-mesh-nebulizer-respiratory-relief/) (was $99).

**What is the warranty?**
2-year warranty.

**What is the return policy?**
60-day free returns with full refund. SonoHealth covers return shipping. No restocking fee.

**Is there a physician-led training resource?**
Yes. Dr. Carolina Melgar, MD provides a free video training series on mastering respiratory illness with the MistPro, available through SonoHealth.

**Does the MistPro need replacement filters?**
No. Unlike jet nebulizers, CPAPs, or air purifiers, the MistPro has no disposable filters or cartridges. The mesh simply needs rinsing after each use, so there are no ongoing filter costs — the mesh cap and masks can be replaced only if worn.

**Can I charge it from a power bank or car for travel?**
Yes. The MistPro charges over a standard USB-C cable, so you can top it up from a power bank, a car USB port, or a laptop. One charge covers multiple treatments, which makes it well suited to travel and emergencies.

**Is the MistPro a good first nebulizer or a gift?**
Yes. Its one-button operation, FDA approval, and included adult and child masks make it easy for someone newly diagnosed with asthma or COPD, and it makes a practical gift for anyone managing respiratory conditions or a new parent (using saline for infant congestion).
