| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omron CompAir NE-C801 | 12W | 12W | Safe | ~15.7h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** ~12W AC (12V ร 0.8A DC via external AC adapter). **Surge:** ~12W (DC-powered, no motor inrush at the AC side). **Voltage:** 100-240V AC input (universal adapter). This is the lowest-draw nebulizer in this comparison by a wide margin โ the external DC adapter eliminates AC-side compressor surge. Field note: The Omron NE-C801 is the most portable-power-friendly nebulizer available. At only 12W, even a 150Wh power bank with AC output can provide over 10 hours of therapy. The DC adapter also means modified sine wave inverters are less of a concern โ the adapter handles AC conversion internally. Always carry a backup adapter. Can I run the Omron CompAir nebulizer on a small portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 12W continuous at 120V. This device draws minimal power and is compatible with virtually any power station or battery pack with an AC outlet. | |||||
| PARI PRONEB Max | 98W | 98W | Safe | ~1.9h | Gov. Database |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 98W (FDA 510(k) filing, under normal load). **Surge:** 98W (OEM surge data not published โ shaded pole motors have low inrush characteristics). **Voltage:** 120V AC, 60 Hz. The PRONEB Max uses an AC-powered shaded pole motor driving an oil-free piston compressor at 30+ psig. Field note: The PARI PRONEB Max is the current hospital-grade standard, replacing the PARI Vios. At 98W it requires a power station with at least 200W continuous output. For respiratory therapy on battery backup, pure sine wave output is recommended โ AC shaded pole motors may run hot or lose efficiency on modified sine wave inverters. This is a life-sustaining medical device: always have a backup power source. Can I use the PARI PRONEB Max nebulizer during a power outage with a portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 98W continuous at 120V. Pure sine wave output is recommended for this AC motor-driven compressor. Always maintain a backup power source for life-sustaining respiratory therapy. | |||||
| Drive Medical Power Neb Ultra | 110W | 110W | Safe | ~1.7h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 110W (110 VA OEM rated โ apparent power, conservative for sizing). **Surge:** 110W (OEM surge data not published โ piston compressor motor has some startup inrush but OEM does not specify). **Voltage:** 120V AC, 60 Hz. The Power Neb Ultra uses a piston-driven AC motor compressor producing 30+ psig at 8 LPM free air flow. Field note: The Drive Medical Power Neb Ultra is the most common insurance-reimbursed nebulizer in the US. At 110 VA it draws the most power in this comparison. Pure sine wave output is recommended for the AC piston motor. The 110 VA rating is apparent power โ real watts may be lower, but size your power station to the VA rating for safety. This is a medical device: always have a backup power source. Can I run the Drive Medical nebulizer on a portable power station during an outage? Only if your power source can supply at least 110W continuous at 120V. Pure sine wave output is recommended for this AC motor-driven compressor. Always maintain a backup power source for respiratory therapy. | |||||

With 1200W surge capacity, the EB3A can handle typical compressor-based startup loads like refrigerators, sump pumps, and window air conditioners. The 268.8Wh capacity supports short-duration essential loads during outages. It can support intermittent cycling of motor-driven appliances when runtime demands stay within the available energy reserve.
The EB3A uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, known for stable performance in residential applications. Proper ventilation and adherence to manufacturer guidelines remain essential for safe operation. Source: BLUETTI EB3A User Manual (manufacturer documentation).

Yes. The Bluetti EB3A provides 600W running / 1200W surge. The Medical Nebulizer Machine needs 127W / 127W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 473W of running headroom and 1073W of surge margin.
Approximately 1.7 hours, based on the Medical Nebulizer Machine's 110W draw and the EB3A's 268.8Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
With 305W allocated to the Medical Nebulizer Machine, the EB3A still has ~65W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
Pro Tip for Medical Users: According to energy reports, turning off the humidifier on your Medical Nebulizer Machine can double your runtime. Using a DC cable instead of the AC plug is also recommended to avoid inverter inefficiency.
