The Flexineb E3 cup is a consumable part, the lifespan is highly dependent on the volume and variants of liquids nebulized by the cup.

The average lifespan of the cup is up to 100 uses.*

* based on nebulizing 10ml 0.9% saline solution per use – this equals 1000ml in total.

* If liquids other than 0.9% saline solution are used, the cup’s lifespan may be reduced by up to 50%.

Grey: The grey E3 cup is the universal E3 cup which is compatible with most liquids used innebulization.

Green: The green E3 cup is suitable for use with thicker liquids which are more difficult to nebulize.

The Flexineb E3 Cup is the heart of the Flexineb E3. Liquids which are intended to act in the lungs are put into the Flexineb E3 cup and are converted into a fine mist to be inhaled by the horse. It is a consumable part with a lifespan that depends on the liquids and volumes nebulized by the cup and how well the cup is maintained.

The Flexineb E3 Cup will hold 10ml of liquid but is expandable to 30ml using the Flexineb Cup Volume Extender.

The liquid is converted into a fine mist (aerosol) through vibration of the mesh/membrane (90.000 times per second) acting like a micro pump.

The performance and life of the Flexineb E3 Cup is highly dependent on how well it is maintained between uses. The type of drug or liquid used also influences the lifespan as the technology must pump the drug or liquid through tiny holes to form the aerosol.

If a liquid with a high viscosity (e.g. like honey) is placed in the Flexineb E3 Cup it may not nebulise. Dilution may help if the liquid is water based. If a liquid is oil-based dilution will not help.

Another factor that will affect performance is if the drug or liquid used is a Solution or Suspension.

Solution type drugs have their active agent completely dissolved in the liquid (like sugar in coffee).

Suspension type drugs have their active agent suspended in the liquid in the form of tiny solid particles (like sand in water).
