The nebulization characteristics of this unit differ by the properties of medication. Especially with the use of a medication
having high surface activity or viscosity such as medication solubilizing agent or expectorant, the nebulization rate may be
reduced. The nebulization rate may also be reduced when the temperature of medication is low.
This unit cannot nebulize distilled water.
