  If your Beurer Medical Equipment atomiser produces little to no aerosol, first check that the amount of medicine in the atomiser is between the minimum of 0.5 ml and the maximum of 6 ml. Then, ensure the nozzles are not blocked; clean them if necessary. Also, make sure you are holding the atomiser in an upright position. Finally, consult your doctor to confirm that the medicine solution is suitable for nebulising, as some solutions may be too thick.

  To guarantee a therapeutically effective particle spectrum and for hygiene reasons, regularly replace the atomiser on your Beurer Medical Equipment. The nozzle holes should not exceed a certain diameter, and the plastic is subject to wear due to thermal and mechanical stresses.

  If your Beurer Medical Equipment atomiser produces little or no aerosol, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure you have between 2 ml and 8 ml of medicine in the atomiser. Check the nozzles are not blocked; if they are, carefully clean them, rinsing if necessary, and only poke implements through the fine holes from the underside of the nozzle. Make sure the atomiser is held upright. Also, verify with your doctor that the medicine solution is suitable for nebulising, as solutions that are too thick may not work properly.

Why do I need to replace the Beurer Medical Equipment atomiser at regular intervals?
- J
  John MelendezSep 1, 2025
  There are two main reasons to regularly replace the atomiser in your Beurer Medical Equipment: Firstly, to maintain a therapeutically effective particle spectrum, as the nozzle holes should not exceed a certain diameter due to wear from thermal and mechanical stresses. This wear can alter the aerosol's droplet composition, affecting treatment effectiveness. Secondly, regular replacement is recommended for hygiene reasons.

Why does inhalation with the mask take longer with Beurer IH 18 Medical Equipment?
- M
  Marcus MannSep 6, 2025
  Inhalation with the mask on your Beurer Medical Equipment may take longer because less medicine is inhaled per breath through the mask holes compared to using the mouthpiece. The aerosol mixes with ambient air through these holes.

  Nicole ThomasSep 8, 2025
  You need to replace the atomiser of your Beurer Medical Equipment regularly to ensure the nozzle holes maintain the correct diameter for a therapeutically effective particle spectrum. The plastic is subject to wear due to thermal and mechanical stresses, especially in the nozzle attachment. This wear can alter the aerosol's droplet composition, affecting treatment effectiveness. Replacing the atomiser regularly is also recommended for hygiene reasons.
