Adult inhaler trainer IN-CHECK DIAL G16

Many patients do not use their inhalers correctly, failing to inhale at the correct flow rate. International asthma management guidelines call for inhaler review. In-Check DIAL G16 enables healthcare professionals to coach patients to use their inhalers correctly. The device assesses peak inspiratory flow rate, and can simulate the resistance characteristics of the specific inhaler of a patient, providing the device is set on the correct setting. The patient can then be trained to inhale at a flow rate known to be suitable for their personal DPI or pMDI. To coach DPI or pMDI inhaler technique Groups inhalers as a function of their internal airflow resistance, in order to accommodate new inhaler devices Individually calibrated for accuracy Easy to clean, by simple washing Patients learn to inhale at the correct flow rate Inhaler training can be conducted quickly Low-cost, simple yet effective method of inhaler technique training. The former In-Check DIAL has been revised, now grouping inhalers as a function of their internal airflow resistance, in order to accommodate information on the new devices. There are six resistance groups, five of which relate to dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and one of which to pressurised metered dose inhalers (pMDIs). A guide to identify the resistance group for each inhaler is provided on the In-Check DIAL G16 and on the associated guide. The In-Check DIAL can be set to a resistance setting to match any particular inhaler by identifying the inhaler from the chart and selecting the appropriate resistance setting. When the patient inhales their inspiratory flow rate will be shown by the pointer.
