Misusing an inhaler is becoming increasingly common amongst Asthma sufferers; this often means only a small amount of the medication reaches the patient's lungs. The In-Check Dial helps to identify whether a patient is using their inhaler correctly. The In-Check Dial:
-
Can be set to simulate inhalation through different types of inhalers.
-
Measures the speed at which air is inhaled when the patient blows through the mouthpiece.
-
By comparing the patient's results and the optimum results, patients can be trained to use their inhaler correctly.
-
Comes with an easy to read Optimum Inspiratory Flow card, which informs users of the optimum inspiratory flow rates for different types of inhalers.
-
Is individually calibrated to ensure accuracy
-
Inspiratory flow can be measured from 15 to 120 L/min.
If the optimum flow is achieved will increase the amount of medication reaching the lungs, this then improves the effect of the medication.
The In-Check Dial can be multi-patient use using our One Way Valve Mouthpieces (One for each patient) as well as single patient use.
There is also an In-Check Assessment Kit available that includes 4 resistance adaptors.
