Decrypting the Instructions
The atomizer is well built, small, silent and has a learning curve.  some of the reports say the atomizer failed, my guess is they did not follow the instructions.  They instructions are written by an engineer and a little cryptic.  If you are currently using one of the big Nebulizers with hoses, etc. They are bullet proof and easy to use, noisy, a mess to clean up, hard to transport.<br />You have to know that they need to be sanitized with each use or you are drawing mold into your lungs.<br />Fill a sink with warm water and dish soap. The atomizer uses ultrasonic screens to atomize, located in the detachable top. I use the power cord as the unit draws more juice than the batteries can handle after a couple of days.  You can live with it for a couple of days while you travel.  Pour your Albuterol or what ever into the top. Make sure the cup is completely attached, and turn on.  It will start to smoke immediately if you followed the instructions on how to clean and dry. If you hold it parallel or tipped away a little it should run all the way through.<br />If you are using one of the old big ones you are probably used to sucking it in pretty strong.  If you do anything but slow and steady you will draw the mixture right through the screen and into the exit tube.  Pour out what is in the tube onto a paper towel and set it on the counter running.  The screen should clear within a minute and start smoking again.  The unit will shut off when done.<br />Put the face mask or mouthpiece in the dish water.  Pull the cup off, pour out the left overs, and slosh through the dish water for the cup then for the exit tube.  Then slosh through the faucet for a rinse.  Do not get the base unit (or handle) anywhere near water.  Dry completely with soft dry cloth.  Put about a 1/16&#34; of clean water in the cup and re attach. Set it on the counter upright,turn on and within a minute or two it will start to smoke.  Let it finish and shut off.  This cleans the screen of any residue.  Dry out the exit tube and the cup with your cloth and put away.<br />I found after a couple of days it went smooth and was no worse than the old one.  It did take me a couple of days to decide I liked it better.<br />Some truths.  The albuterol or discus you use will in time desolve tooth enamel if you don't pay attention.  It is a good time for salt water rinse and gargle.  Then a good time for a baby zitzer to squeeze salt water with some baking sods to clear nostrils. any time you use inhalers of any kind, rinse your mouth with a little water and swallow.  Now you have all my tricks.
