Hello i’m going to show you how to use an inhaler another entire device called the lip deter so when you first receiving see it will come in a foil packaging so peel the film off the top remove the inhaler from the packaging and the desiccant will also be in there which you just need to discard and then the inhaler looks like this we’ve got a dose counter on the
Front and the way that the inhaler works is this lever comes all the way down so i’m just going to demonstrate that now you hold it from the top and just push it down all the way until you hear the click this means that the inhaler is being loaded with the drug and this reveals the vents at the front which we must ensure that we don’t cover whilst we’re actually
Using the inhaler and the mouthpiece is here on the top so to actually use the inhaler first of all just breathe out to the end of a normal breath okay and then you place the mouthpiece in between the lips so you make a nice seal with the loops around the mouthpiece and just need to breathe in slowly and deeply as far as you come to deliver the dose of the inhaler
And once you’ve done that it’s important to hold the breath for 10 seconds or as long as he’s comfortable and then once you’ve held the breath just exhale preferably out of the nose if you come then that’s the cycle completed so i’m just going to demonstrate the use of the inhaler so we’ve pushed the top of the device down and we’ve delivered our dose and we’ve
Heard the click as before hold it like that so that you’re not covering the event of the inhaler and then turning horizontally so the mouthpiece faces you and just inhale but first of all remember to breathe out to release any residual air ok okay so that’s our dose of drug delivered and just push the cover back up to the top so it’s back in place ready for the
Next time the counter will have decreased by one when we initially logie job clean hey lyla and we heard the click at the beginning the counter will turn partially red when you get to the last ten doses and if the inhaler empties completely then this window will be completely red and another point to note is these inhalers can be used for six weeks there were six
Week shelf life once they commenced and then the new inhaler must be ordered so remember to keep an eye on the counter and the data you first started using the inhaler so that you want reorder in good time
