Description

A VOLUMATIC Spacer Device is a large-volume spacer device which is intended to make it easier for you to use your Inhaler effectively.

It helps the medicine reach your lungs where it is needed instead of being deposited at the back of the throat where it may be less effective or may cause irritation.

It makes it easier to use your Inhaler because you don’t have to press down on the Inhaler and breathe in at the same time.

Using an Inhaler Volumatic Spacer has many benefits. Some of the Inhaler Volumatic Spacer benefits are:

  • A spacer gives you more time to use the inhaler and removes the need for pressing the inhaler and breathing in the medication at the same time
  • Spacers extend the amount of time the inhaler takes to deliver medicine
  • It allows you to inhale a greater concentration of the inhaler contents into the lungs
  • Using an Inhaler Volumatic Spacer reduces the risk of side effects that are known occur when using a certain inhaler
  • To be used with GlaxoSmithKline Inhalers

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is a Volumatic Spacer and how does it improve inhaler delivery? ▼

The Volumatic spacer is a large-volume spacer device that can connect to a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), which creates a chamber where the medication is suspended, allowing steady inhalation into the lungs. This mechanism helps to reduce difficulty in an asthma attack, and increases the amount of drug reaching the lungs, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the inhaler to the patient.

Why is a Volumatic Spacer device preferred over inhaling directly from an MDI? ▼

Using a spacer for an inhaler separates actuation and inhalation, making the administration process much easier and more accurate. This method decreases the amount of medication hitting the throat, and greatly improves the amount of medication reaching the lungs directly.

How should the inhaler spacer be assembled and used safely? ▼

To assemble the spacer, press the two halves together along the notch. Insert the inhaler, release one puff, then inhale immediately or inhale slowly multiple times (tidal breathing). It is important to observe the valve activity to ensure accurate use, and to hold your breath for a few seconds after inhaling.

How often should the Volumatic Spacer be cleaned and replaced? ▼

It is recommended to clean the Volumatic Spacer once a month (or more often if needed) using warm soapy water; do not rinse and leave it air-dry to reduce static build up. It is also recommended to replace the spacer every 12 months, or sooner, if the valves are damaged.

Is there a disposable, more compact spacer option available? ▼

The Dispozable Spacer Inhaler is an excellent compact and disposable option. Coming in a pack of 10, the simple, intuitive design of the Dispozable spacer inhaler allows non-professionals to assemble it quickly, as well as instructions being included on the spacer, adding to the element of ease.
