You'll know when the medication, when it's time to turn it off because the medication will be dry down here and sometimes it kind of does a little bit of sputtering right towards the end but as you can see there's no more mist coming out. The medication is gone, it's dry, so that means that it's time to take it out of her mouth and it means that you've done what you need to do with that. So you also want to make sure when the person or the child is using this, that there isn't anything dripping out of this area or anywhere like that. If your fingers are wet or if you're seeing some droppings down here, then you need to check all of your tightness and the way the things are fastened together because then there's a leak and that's not the proper way to use this. You don't want medicine to be dribbling out to the, onto the counter. And you also want to make sure when you're using this that the child is fully alert, the adult is fully alert because you don't want them to be drowsy or to be sleeping and depending on the age of the child, they might be able to hold this themselves or cooperate a little bit more, a little bit less but you do want to monitor, you do want to be around because if you've got a child that has turned it off and on or knocking it down, obviously that's not good for the machine, they're not getting their medication so you do want to supervise this on particularly with a child that's her age, 5 or younger.
