How to use a meter dose inhaler with
a valved holding chamber
00:00:05;28 - 00:00:09;12
and mask, also sometimes referred
to as a spacer.
00:00:11;01 - 00:00:12;28
Check the dose counter on
the inhaler.
00:00:13;06 - 00:00:17;07
Do not use it if it says zero. Zero
means the inhaler is empty
00:00:17;09 - 00:00:18;22
and needs to be replaced.
00:00:19;26 - 00:00:22;14
Prime a brand new inhaler before
using it for
00:00:22;16 - 00:00:23;11
the first time.
00:00:23;25 - 00:00:25;30
This prepares the inhaler for use.
00:00:26;14 - 00:00:31;05
Prime the inhaler by shaking the inhaler for 10 seconds
and spraying two or
00:00:31;07 - 00:00:34;23
four puffs into the air based on
your medicine instructions.
00:00:35;17 - 00:00:38;18
Prime again if you have not used
this inhaler for 1 to 2
00:00:38;20 - 00:00:40;30
weeks or have dropped it.
00:00:41;02 - 00:00:43;19
Priming does not waste doses.
00:00:43;21 - 00:00:44;12
To take a dose,
00:00:44;20 - 00:00:46;24
shake the inhaler to mix
the medicine.
00:00:47;28 - 00:00:49;15
Take the cap off the inhaler.
00:00:49;23 - 00:00:53;02
Make sure the mouthpiece and valved
holding chamber are clean
00:00:53;04 - 00:00:55;07
and there is nothing inside
the mouthpiece.
00:00:56;04 - 00:00:58;28
Place the inhaler mouthpiece into
the open end of the
00:00:58;30 - 00:01:00;09
valved holding chamber.
00:01:01;04 - 00:01:03;19
Place the mask onto the mouthpiece
of the chamber.
00:01:03;29 - 00:01:06;27
Some chambers may already have the
mask attached.
00:01:07;27 - 00:01:10;18
Prepare your body by sitting or standing
up straight.
00:01:11;03 - 00:01:14;03
Place the mask over the individual's
nose and mouth,
00:01:14;05 - 00:01:15;12
making a tight seal.
00:01:16;04 - 00:01:18;26
Hold the inhaler with your pointer
finger on the top of
00:01:18;28 - 00:01:20;25
the inhaler and thumb on
the bottom.
00:01:21;12 - 00:01:24;19
Press down on the inhaler once to
release the medicine.
00:01:25;15 - 00:01:29;10
Hold mask on individual's face while
they take six regular
00:01:29;12 - 00:01:31;14
breaths or for about 10
seconds.
00:01:32;04 - 00:01:34;07
If the holding chamber
whistles, you are
00:01:34;09 - 00:01:35;23
breathing in too fast.
00:01:36;21 - 00:01:40;11
Repeat these steps in
one minute if using more than one puff.
00:01:42;02 - 00:01:44;10
Rinse your mouth with water
and spit it out.
00:01:44;21 - 00:01:47;14
Once finished, wipe your face with
a damp cloth.
00:01:48;02 - 00:01:49;26
Store in a cool, dry place.
00:01:50;20 - 00:01:54;14
Clean your inhaler, chamber, or
spacer with mask according to
00:01:54;16 - 00:01:55;25
their package instructions.
00:01:56;07 - 00:01:59;18
If you have trouble using the inhaler
correctly, ask your
00:01:59;20 - 00:02:01;09
pharmacist or doctor for help.
