If your Invacare Respiratory Product isn't nebulizing correctly, ensure the air tubing is tightly connected to both the main unit and the nebulizer. Also, verify that the nebulizer contains the correct amount of medication (up to six ml) and that the nozzle isn't blocked. Finally, confirm that the funnel is properly inserted.
