Treatment Tips
1. If the nebulizer does produce a heavy aerosol, tap the sides of the
medication chamber to ensure the green cone is seated properly. Ensure
that the medication cup is screwed on tightly to the reservoir tower.
2. Instruct patient to keep their lips sealed around mouthpiece during
inspiration and exhalation.
3. Ensure nebulizer is in a position upright or greater than
a 45 degree angle.
4. After each treatment, shake out any residual medication.
5. If the nebulizer has been in use for the several days, the capillary tube
of the nebulizer may be partially occluded. Replace nebulizer.
6. Ensure the exhalation valve on mouthpiece is upright to prevent moisture
dripping on patient.
