2Tone Inhaler Trainer
2Tone Inhaler Trainer
94% of healthcare professionals inhale too fast when demonstrating how to use a standard pMDI. Inhaling too fast means only half the dose reaches the lungs.
Are you or your patients suffering the side effects of wasted medication?
Many studies confirm that for the most-commonly prescribed inhaler (the pMDI, or pressurised metered dose inhaler), the speed at which you inhale matters enormously - and that few patients get it right. The fact is that many health professionals have been taught incorrectly, and in turn go on to teach patients a technique that puts them at higher risk of side-effects, and wastes medication.
It’s a convoluted pathway to the lungs and medication can get stuck on the way if it’s travelling at the wrong speed. Too fast an inhalation means more medication hits the back of the throat rather than getting to where it can do most good – the lungs. So the effectiveness of the inhaler is reduced, and patients are put at a higher risk of side-effects such as thrush, sore throat, palpitations and headaches
Developed with the aid of leading UK asthma and respiratory healthcare professionals, the new 2Tone inhaler trainer is easy to use and similar in shape and feel to a real pMDI
Practising with 2Tone helps health professionals learn correct technique themselves, and is clinically-proven to improve inhaler technique and quality of life for asthmatic patients.
