Hi pitside, I think most of us would need to know more about what kind of machine and what it is for before offering any opinions or advice.

Ask your Gp for saline solution to use in your nebuliser machine helps with the dryness

I would suggest, that your wife buy Biotene. You can purchase it as a mouth spray or a mouth rinse. It supplies moisture back into your mouth. I would also ask if she is drinking enough water.
