Checks and Solutions

If the SANITAS SIH 21 does not produce mist, here are the points to check in order:

Clogged air filter - Replace the filter every 6 months. A dirty filter significantly reduces spraying. Clean it with warm water between replacements.
Worn nebulizer - The manual recommends an annual replacement of the nebulizer to maintain efficiency. If your device is over a year old and the mist has gradually weakened, this is likely the cause.
Clogged nozzle - Rinse the tip and nozzle of the nebulizer under warm water. Residues from medication can block the outlet (expected flow rate: about 0.4 ml/min).
Pinned or crushed hose - Check that the compressed air hose is not pinched, twisted, or stuck.
Insufficient medication - Ensure that the reservoir (capacity 2-8 ml) contains at least 2 ml of solution.
Incorrect position - Keep the device in a vertical or slightly tilted position. An improper position prevents spraying.

Cleaning after each use: Disassemble the nebulizer and rinse it with warm water after each session. Do not immerse the entire device. For deep cleaning, soak the nebulizer and tip for a few minutes in distilled water or a vinegar/water solution.

If after these checks the mist still does not appear, the compressor or nebulizer needs servicing.
