FAQs
Q1. What is the use of the Zerostat mini spacer?
Ans. The zerostat mini spacer is primarily used to aid in the delivery of aerosolised medication from metered-dose inhalers (MDIs). It ensures that a higher percentage of medicine reaches your lungs rather than just hitting the back of your throat or remaining on your tongue.
Q2. What is the difference between the Zerostat Spacer and the Zerostat VT Spacer?
Ans. While both are designed to make it easier to deliver aerosolised medicines, the key difference lies in their design. The Zerostat VT Spacer boasts a valved design, meaning it has a one-way valve that prevents exhaled air from entering the chamber. The zerostat mini spacer, on the other hand, features a more compact and portable design.
Q3. Can I clean my Zerostat Mini Spacer?
Ans. Yes, absolutely. It's recommended to regularly clean your zerostat mini spacer to ensure optimal functioning and hygiene. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and drying to avoid any potential damage to the device.
Q4. Why should I use an aerosol chamber like Zerostat mini spacer instead of using my inhaler directly?
Ans. Using an aerosol chamber such as the mini zerostat spacer can greatly enhance the effectiveness of your inhaler therapy. It helps direct more medication into your lungs where it’s needed, reducing wastage and minimising side effects.
Q5. How often should I replace my Zerostat Mini Spacer?
Ans. For maintaining optimum performance and hygiene, it is advisable to replace your mini spacer every 12 months or sooner if it appears worn or damaged.
Q6. How does this type of medical device work?
Ans. This type of medical device, known as a spacer or aerosol chamber, works by creating a temporary storage space for the aerosol medication released by an inhaler. When you inhale, the medication is pulled from this chamber into your lungs, allowing for deeper and more efficient delivery.
Q7. Can anyone use these types of spacers?
Ans. Yes, spacers like this one can be used by people of all ages, including children and the elderly. However, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any new form of medical treatment.
