English term or phrase: in combination with ...
The Aerodyne nebulizer adapter is only intended for operation with RespiFlo Sterile water systems and RespiFlo S for mechanical nebulization in combination with an air- or O2-flowmeter.

Does 'in combination with an air- or O2-flowmeter' modify 'mechanical nebulization' or 'operation '? How to paraphrase this whole sentence?

Explanation:
It looks as if it refers to the "RespiFlo..........nebulization", but whether the "and" in the middle is correct, or whether it should be "or" I really don't know. Guess you'll have to wait for a lab technician or nurse with the necessary expertise.

Maybe, OTOH, your context makes it clear whether those two items are always used together.
