Product Description
Ultrasonic Salinizer is an ultrasonic particles dispenser that makes use of ultrasonic frequency vibration theory to transform the saline solution into under 1 micron salt particles. These particles are able to penetrate deep into the lungs, up to the alveoli, helping in cleaning, killing bacteria, reducing inflammation and humidifying the whole respiratory tract. It can be used for all chronic respiratory diseases as well as preventive in healthy people. In chronic diseases, it helps with inflammation; unclog the blockages, cleaning the respiratory system and better breathing. It's a very safe therapy for all people and ages, including infants and pregnant women and also used for pets. Salinizer is natural ionic aerosol salt therapy products. Health-oriented solution based on Halotherapy and Speleotherapy.

Not enough airflow or salt concentration to matter,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Salt Therpy Ultrasonic Salinizer For Chronic Respiratory Diseases
Short version:The Saltair Domo is a scaled-down ultrasonic humidifier with a nearly non-existent output. The amount of salt they recommend you put in is minuscule and would hardly make a difference if you were directly nebulizing it, and is completely useless as a tool for altering the ambient air. It seems to be an attempt to cash in on the popularity of halotherapy. Long version: I bought this item hoping that we could use it to simulate some ocean air in our bedroom for our 6-month old with cystic fibrosis. Unfortunately, my opinion on this item is that it fails miserably at what it purports to do, which is to place salt ions into the air. I base my opinion not on experimental results, but logic and common sense, some basic biology, and my own experience. One of the first things I noticed was the manual's recommended maximum amount of salt for the 2.5 cups (0.6L) maximum tank capacity: 1/4 teaspoon. I'm not a biologist, but I have been teaching myself biology through text book and MIT OCW courses, and was interested in how this ratio of salt to water compares to isotonic saline, hypertonic saline, and ocean water. The percentages given when discussing saline are w/v measures. Normal saline is about 0.9%. Hypertonic saline can be found varying concentrations, from 3, to 5, to 7 and 9%. Sea water varies, but on average is said to be around 3.5%. For 1/4tsp of salt in 2c of water, which is more salt per volume than the manual recommends, would be 0.3%. Normal saline is close to the same concentration of NaCl as your blood, so the saline they have you create could be considered to be hypotonic, not hypertonic, relative to normal saline. Studies have been conducted to see if hypertonic saline (7%) could help people with CF. It was found that normal saline (0.9%) did not significantly impact on the number of exacerbation in patients. It was found to be ineffective. It was only the hypertonic saline that made a difference, specifically, 7%. Spending time at the beach has been shown to have benefit for people with CF. Sea water is also hypertonic, 3.5%. The expected response to this would be that the device is intended to be run over many days. Surely that can make up for the low concentration of salt. This may be true, if the device actually had a decent airflow. It has such a low airflow that you cannot feel it with your hand unless it is within an inch of the air outlet. The manual clearly states that the device should be empty after 8-9 nights of use. Let's say a typical night is 7 hours, so 9 nights would equal 63 hours to dispense 1/4 teaspoon of salt. You don't have to be a scientist to realize that this is simply a joke. And to go even further, you must assume that very little of this air will actually enter the lungs of your sick child. Here in the south, during the summer, the air conditioner is constantly running, pulling air out of the room, replenishing it with filtered air. I'm convinced that, given the low airflow of the device, there was essentially 0 salt ions getting into my lungs when I tested it 1 ft away from my face over a period of two nights. It simply is not enough to overcome other sources of airflow that are present in a typical middle-class household here in the southern United States. The only way to overcome ambient airflows is for the device to pump the air high and far enough so that it could be directed to someone. One very troubling aspect of this product was the fact that the manual lacks any mention of proper cleaning of the device to prevent bacterial and other microscopic organism growth. They do mention cleaning it, but it's to ensure proper operation. It leaves you with the impression that you don't have to worry about bacteria with this device. In fact, the nice lady who sold it o me was under the impression that you didn't have to worry about bacteria in it because salt is anti-bacterial. Another issue was the manual's lack of recognition of white dust as a problem. This product is essentially an extremely low airflow ultrasonic humidifier. One of the risks associated with using ultrasonic humidifiers is that they will place whatever happens to be in your solution into the air, be it bacteria, minerals, etc. Some of that stuff will settle on your furniture, floor, etc. The manual doesn't mention any of this. In fact, the manual specifically tells you to use tap water, which is probably the worst thing to use if you are breathing in the contents of the solution. More importantly than impurities and white dust, bacteria that may grown in the water will also be projected into the air. This is why some ultrasonic humidifiers come with some type of silver stick, or other type of anti-bacterial agent. I think the omission of any warnings of these two problems is telling. Perhaps there is no risk of these 2 problems because the air from the device is not really getting into your lungs. It's seeping out onto your floor, and being swept out into your A/C filter, or pushed down into your carpet by your fan.
