There's a couple of situations that you want to be very cautious about in terms of using the nebulizer. One situation would be if you got somebody nearby that is using an oxygen tank or for whatever reason you're in an environment that has additional oxygen than typical, that would be a situation that it would not be advisable to use the nebulizer. You also want to make sure that if you are using the nebulizer in cooler temperatures like around 50, 60 degrees it is recommended that you actually warm up the machine for a few minutes before you use it. So go ahead and plug it in and you're not going to have anything attached to it and then turn it on. And then you're going to let that run like that maybe 2, 3 minutes just by itself. This gives the machine an opportunity to kind of get things warmed up before you're actually trying to put it into use. And then after it's ran for the few minutes, turn it off and then you can actually connect up your tubing and all that and for use with the person.
