EasyChamber Anti-Static Spacer with Infant Mask (0-24 Months) - 175ml

EasyChamber with Infant Mask is a 175ml anti-static spacer with a soft silicone face mask that helps babies and toddlers take their inhaled medicine from a metered-dose inhaler, sold by Ways Pharmacy (UK).

Key facts

Who it is for

• Babies and toddlers up to 2 years old who have been prescribed a metered-dose inhaler.
• Parents and carers who need a spacer with a face mask for a young child.

Not suitable for: Not suitable without constant adult supervision, or for older children who have outgrown the infant mask and need a child mask or mouthpiece.

How to use

1. Remove the inhaler cap and shake the inhaler.
2. Fit the inhaler upright into the back of the spacer.
3. Place the mask gently over the child's nose and mouth to make a good seal.
4. Press the inhaler once and let the child breathe in and out slowly 5 to 6 times. If the whistle sounds, the breathing is too fast.
5. For another puff, wait 5 to 10 breaths and shake the inhaler again before repeating.
6. Remove the mask, replace the inhaler cap and wipe the child's face or rinse the mouth if your medicine requires it.

Frequently asked questions
