Mini Zerostat Spacer 1

Mini Zerostat Spacer is a compact, pre-assembled chamber used with a pressurised metered-dose inhaler (pMDI). It holds the released medicine briefly, which may help make inhalation easier when it is difficult to press the inhaler and breathe in at the same time. Its transparent chamber allows medicine release to be seen during use.

• Remove the cap from the pMDI inhaler and shake the inhaler well.
• Insert the inhaler mouthpiece into the slot at the back of the spacer.
• Remove the spacer mouthpiece cap and breathe out fully, turning your head away from the spacer.
• Place the spacer mouthpiece between your teeth and seal your lips firmly around it.
• Press the inhaler canister once, then immediately breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth.
• Remove the spacer and hold your breath for about 10 seconds, or as long as comfortable. Then breathe out normally.
• If one deep breath is difficult, keep your lips sealed around the mouthpiece and take 3 to 5 normal breaths after releasing the dose.
• If your doctor has prescribed more than one puff, wait 1 minute, shake the inhaler again, and repeat the steps.
• After taking the dose or doses, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out.
• Clean the spacer at least once a week. Soak it in a mild soap solution for 15 minutes, stir gently, rinse with clean water, shake off excess water, and air-dry fully in a vertical position.

• Pre-assembled spacer chamber.
• Anti-static chamber design may help minimise medicine sticking to its walls.
• Compatible with most standard pMDI inhalers; check compatibility before use.
• Transparent body for visibility during use.
• Mouthpiece designed for a comfortable fit.

No serious side effects are listed in the available sources.

• Check that the spacer is compatible with your pMDI inhaler before use.
• Do not use it with a dry powder inhaler.
• Clean the spacer regularly and inspect it for damage or wear.
• Replace the spacer after 6 months of use to help maintain hygiene and effectiveness.
• If you are unsure how to use the spacer or which inhaler is suitable, speak with a doctor.

• Use with a compatible pressurised metered-dose inhaler to take inhaled medicine.
• May help people who find it difficult to coordinate pressing a pMDI with breathing in.
• Not designed for use with dry powder inhalers.

• Holding the dose briefly may help more medicine reach the lungs.
• Slower, controlled inhalation may help make taking inhaled medicine more comfortable.
• May help reduce the amount of medicine left in the mouth and throat.
• The transparent chamber allows visual confirmation of medicine release.
