Troubleshooting
Problem/Question
The nebulizer produces
little or no aerosol
Which medicines are
suitable for inhalation?
Inhalation with the mask
takes longer
Possible Cause/Remedy
1. Too little medicine in the nebulizer.
2. The nebulizer is not held in an upright position.
3. The medicine is unsuitable for spraying (e.g. too thick,
highly viscous).
The medicine solution should be specified by your doctor.
4. The batteries are dead. Replace the batteries or connect
the power supply unit, and try again.
5. There are air bubbles inside the medicine container
which are preventing the medicine from coming into
contact with the mesh. Please check and remove any air
bubbles.
6. Particles on the mesh are inhibiting output. To remove
these dirt particles, fill the nebulizer with 2-3 drops of
vinegar and 3-6 ml of water then nebulize this solution
completely.
Please do not inhale this spray and ensure that you
clean and disinfect the medicine container afterwards.
If the output does not improve, replace the mesh.
7. The mesh is worn out. Replace the mesh.
Only your doctor can advise you which medicine to use
to treat your condition.
This is for technical reasons. Less medicine is inhaled
per breath through the mask holes than using the
mouthpiece. The aerosol is mixed with ambient air
through the holes in the mask.
Consult your physician.
