For people living with asthma, a nebulizer treatment can be cumbersome and inconvenient in your day to day routine. Often times, the machines are bulky, complicated, and interrupt your ability to work, play, or just stay active. Not anymore! Flyp is the lightest and smallest FDA-approved nebulizer to hit the market—just slide it into your pocket and go.

How Does the Flyp Nebulizer Work?
Flyp is a pocket-size asthma treatment device that works by pulling liquid medication through mesh filter. The mesh filter consists of a stainless-steel disk with 1000 4-micron holes. These holes vibrate at a rate of 110,000 times per second. As liquid passes through the mesh, it is broken up into an inhalable aerosol.
Simply flip open the back lid, lift the medication reservoir cover to add your medicinethen flip the mouthpiece and switch the unit on. The device is now ready for you to inhale through your mouth and exhale either through your nose or mouth. Flyp has no additional tubes or control units.
Respiratory Therapist Tip:
Every 4-6 breaths, take a deep, slow breath and hold it for 5 seconds. This will allow the medicine to reach the deeper parts of your lungs.
How Big is the Flyp Nebulizer?
At 1.1” x 4.7” x 2.1” and only 0.25 lbs, Flyp is smaller and lighter than your smartphone.
How Loud is the Flyp Nebulizer?
The Flyp is the first HypersoniQ-powered ultrasonic nebulizer which offers a whisper-quiet treatment.
How Long Does it Take to Use the Flyp Nebulizer?
One of the biggest benefits of Flyp is the reduction of treatment times. Flyp takes only 7 minutes to dispense the standard 3ml of medication. In comparison, other nebulizers can take up to 20 minutes to deliver the same dose. Flyp’s reservoir can hold up to 5ml of medication.
What Medications Can I Use the Flyp Nebulizer For?
Flyp is FDA-approved to be used as a general-purpose nebulizer. It can be used with medications such as albuterol, ipratropium bromide, cromolyn sodium, and brudesonide. However, it should not be used with hypertonic saline or medications that are indicated for use with specific delivery devices.
It is recommended that the Flyp be filled with medication immediately prior to use. However, medication may be carried in the reservoir. Consult with the medication manufacturer for further recommendations. Note: A small ventilation hole is in the reservoir to help the flow of medication to the disk. If Flyp is carried with medication, there may be some leakage if the unit is not held upright.
How Do You Charge the Flyp Nebulizer?
Flyp is portable, thus it is powered with a lithium-ion battery that is rechargeable via USB. Each charge lasts up to 10 treatments. The battery takes 90 minutes to charge and holds a 50-minute charge time.
How Do You Clean the Flyp?
The Flyp is very easy to clean. Simply fill the medication reservoir with distilled or bottled water. Turn the unit on for one minute, then empty. Once complete, remove the mouthpiece and rinse under running water. Because Flyp uses rechargeable batteries, do not rinse the main unit. Leave the parts to air dry.
It is also recommended to complete a deep cleaning with distilled white vinegar once a week. Simply use a bit of white vinegar instead of bottled or distilled water, turn the unit on for one minute, and then empty. Rinse it out and then allow to airdry.
How Do You Disinfect the Flyp?
To disinfect the Flyp, remove the mouthpiece and fill with 70% ethyl alcohol until the nebulizer disk is completely covered. Let it sit for 10 minutes and then shake off excess alcohol. Then turn the Flyp over, open the reservoir cover, remove the medication reservoir, and repeat the same process to disinfect the other side of the nebulizer disk.
Reinsert both the mouthpiece and the medication reservoir. Fill the reservoir with distilled water. Plug the stopper, close the cover, and raise the mouthpiece. Turn the unit on and allow it to run; it will stop after 10 minutes. Then remove the medication reservoir and mouthpiece, shake off excess water, and let airdry on a clean towel.
How Long is the Warranty on the Flyp?
The Flyp nebulizer has a three-year warranty.

I have the Flyp and there are things I really like about it such as the rechargeable battery, small size, etc. I do not like having to buy a $30 replacement part every 3 months. They don’t reveal this on the website. My machine has been out of commission for 3 weeks while this little jewel of a part has been on backorder. I’m very disappointed to be lugging my loud, plug-in dinosaur machine to and from work again.
Rebecca, so sorry to hear about the trouble you are experiencing with your replacement part. Feel free to contact our customer care team at 888-941-1688 to see if there is anything we can do to help you out.
I just used my Flyp for the first time. It’s wonderfully small and quiet, and…….it stopped running before the ampule of medication was used up. There is still liquid in the med holder on this thing, but the battery died….so I’m recharging it. This is not a good thing.
In most cases, the batteries must be charged fully prior to the first use. They are shipped with a partial charge. Depending on how long the unit sat before the first use, the battery could have drained. If you still experience problems after charging, contact our customer care team at 888-941-1688 to assist you.
I have COPD and it seems to be a good one for me. What do you think? I take the same medication that was mentioned.
We suggest contacting your physician to see if he/she would recommend using a nebulizer for your specific condition. If you are already on a nebulizer treatment, and want to try a portable option, the Flyp is a good one.
Is the Flyp used for or can be used for Emphysema ???
The Flyp can be used for a number of various respiratory conditions. We recommend consulting your physician to see if the Flyp’s method of medication delivery is an appropriate form of treatment for your case.
So what exactly is the replacement part Rebecca is talking about.
