Yes, nebulizers are generally allowed through TSA screening, but international airline and destination-country rules can vary. TSA allows nebulizers and related supplies, such as masks and tubing, through security screening, although the device may need to be removed from the carry-on bag for X-ray screening.
TSA does not generally require a doctor’s letter for screening, but carrying a copy of the prescription or a physician letter is recommended for international travel, customs, and airline questions. Liquid medications used with a nebulizer should be declared at the security checkpoint, and customers should check airline, battery, power adapter, and destination-country requirements before travel.
Please note, according to the TSA website: The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
