5. Troubleshooting
The nebulizer produces no aerosol, or a small amount of aerosol.
• There may be too much or too little medicine in the nebulizer. The amount of liquid should
be between 2 ml and 8 ml.
• The hose connectors may be blocked and need to be cleaned
• The nebulizer may not be held upright. Always hold the nebulizer vertically during use.
• The medication may not be suitable for nebulization. Check with your doctor.
• The filter may be in need of replacement
• The air hose may be kinked
Some medicine remains in the nebulizer at the end of my treatment.
• This is normal. Once you hear a significant difference in the sound of the nebulizer, you may
stop inhaling.
What medications can be used in the nebulizer?
• Only medications prescribed by your doctor should be used in the nebulizer.
Can I share the nebulizer with another person?
• No. Each user must have their own nebulizer to ensure proper hygiene. The compressor unit
may be shared but not all the accessories.
