Welcare Breatheasy Spacer Benefits

Improves medication delivery
Makes using a puffer easier and more effective
Easy to clean
A standard MDI (puffer) can be easily stored inside the spacer

Using a spacer with an MDI (puffer) can improve medication delivery into the lungs. Spacers are recommended universally for both adults and children. The anti-static properties of the device may reduce side effects of residual medication left in the mouth, throat and stomach.

Welcare Breatheasy Spacer Components

220ml Anti-Static Spacer Chamber
Inhalation Mouthpiece with Valve
MDI (puffer) Connecting Ring
Adult Face Mask – Large
Child Face Mask – Small

Unique Cyclone Technology

The spiral structure of the Welcare Breatheasy Spacer base can form inhaled gas into the shape of a cyclone, so that the medication can be concentrated into the lungs, providing a more effective therapeutic result.

Using the Welcare Breatheasy Spacer

The detachable Mask (adult or child) can be attached easily to the Welcare Breatheasy Spacer. They are suitable for children and adults.
To use, simply attach the Mask firmly to the Inhalation Mouthpiece before use.
Remove the cap from the MDI (puffer) and shake vigorously.
Insert the MDI (puffer) into the opening of the Connecting Ring.
Note: Some MDI’s (puffers) are manufactured with a larger mouthpiece that may be difficult to insert into the Connecting Ring. To avoid damage, insert one side of the MDI (puffer) into the Connecting Ring and gently stretch, then leaver the other side of the MDI (puffer) into position.
The MDI (puffer) must be inserted fully into the Connecting Ring to be effective.
Exhale gently.
Using a Mask: Place the mask over the mouth & nose.
Not using a Mask: Place the mouth directly over the Inhalation Mouthpiece to create an effective seal.
Press the MDI (puffer) once ONLY to dispense a single dose of medication into the spacer.
Using a Mask: breathe in and out normally through the mouth 3 or 4 times, allowing any exhaled air to escape outside of the Mask.
Using a Mouthpiece: exhale away from the spacer.
Note: The one-way valve prevents air from re-entering the chamber.
An alternative method is to inhale slowly and deeply, holding the breath for 5 seconds. While holding the breath, remove from the mouth and gently exhale.
If a second dose is required, repeat steps 6-10.
Note: Only use ONE dose of medication from the MDI (puffer) at a time. Always follow the instructions supplied with the MDI (puffer).

Remove MDI (puffer) cap.

Shake MDI (puffer) vigorously.

Insert MDI (puffer) into the Connecting Ring.

Exhale slowly. Place Mask over the nose and mouth. Press the Puffer once ONLY.

Breathe in and out normally 3 or 4 times allowing any exhaled air to escape outside of the Mask.

When using the Mouthpiece, exhale away from the spacer as air cannot re-enter the Chamber.
