Technical Information
The Microspacer device is made of a durable plastic polyethylene. The built-in screen wall blocks large aerosol medication particles that normally deposit in the mouth and throat while allowing the smaller treatment particles to pass through and into the lungs. This provides effective treatment and helps to reduce unwanted side effects. The built-in screen system ensures you adequate coordination time with the spraying of your inhaler. Microspacer will help you inhale your aerosol medication more reliably. Should you have any problem using Microspacer, please contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Cleaning
With repeated use, powder will accumulate on the Microspacer screen and around the MDI valve. This may eventually interfere with effective use. We suggest washing the MDI mouthpiece and the Microspacer® unit daily or at least once a week. Warm tap water passing through the back of the screen is best, followed by drying with a soft, lint-free cloth or leaving the Microspacer overnight to air dry. Dishwasher safe and Latex free.
Since most patients become lax in proper cleaning procedures, we suggest you replace the Microspacer unit every 4- 6 months. Also, if a patient is using more than one inhaler product, a new and separate Microspacer unit should be used for each different inhaler product. The reason for this is to avoid any aerosol drug mixing if the same Microspacer unit is used with various inhaler products.
Instructions
The Microspacer unit is a device that attaches to a metered-dose aerosol inhaler (MDI) prescribed by your doctor. The purpose of the Microspacer unit is to block and disperse the large aerosol drug particles released from the metered-dose inhaler, thus allowing you to inhale the medication more effectively after spraying the MDI.
