Volumatic Adult Spacer

Description

Purchase the Volumatic Spacer Device online in the UK via MedCare Health Clinic’s hassle‑free consultation. The large‑volume chamber helps medication reach the lungs more effectively and makes metered‑dose inhalers easier to use.

Product Overview

What is the Volumatic Spacer Device?

The Volumatic is a large‑volume spacer that holds the aerosol dose from your metered‑dose inhaler (MDI) so you can inhale more calmly and deeply. It’s useful for anyone who struggles to coordinate pressing the inhaler with breathing in.

Key Benefits

• Improved medication delivery: more time to inhale the full dose into the lungs.
• Enhanced lung deposition for better symptom control.
• Reduced local side effects such as oral thrush.
• Helpful for children and patients with coordination difficulties.

How to Use

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Remove caps, assemble the spacer if required, and shake the inhaler.
2. Insert the inhaler mouthpiece firmly into the spacer port.
3. Exhale gently, place lips around the spacer mouthpiece, then press the inhaler once.
4. Inhale slowly and deeply; hold your breath for 5–10 seconds. Alternatively, take 4–6 tidal breaths.
5. If a second puff is prescribed, wait ~30 seconds and repeat.

Using with Paediatric Face Mask

For infants and small children, a soft paediatric face mask can be used with the Volumatic. Hold the mask gently to cover the nose and mouth to deliver the medication calmly and effectively. Wash the spacer in warm water with a small amount of mild detergent and let it air‑dry without rinsing to reduce static. Do not towel‑dry. Replace the spacer annually, or sooner if cracked, excessively scratched, or per clinical advice.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Breathing in too fast after pressing the inhaler.
• Not forming a proper seal around the mouthpiece or mask.
• Skipping the 30-second wait between puffs when prescribed multiple doses.

Maintenance & Care

Annual replacement guideline

Plan for yearly replacement to maintain performance unless your clinician advises otherwise.

Visible wear or cracks

Replace early if the chamber is cracked, warped, or heavily scratched.

Poor fit or airflow resistance

Replace if the inhaler no longer fits firmly or inhalation feels unusually resistant.

Patient Suitability

Who Should Use the Volumatic Spacer?

Patients using MDIs who want easier, more effective inhalation; children who need calmer breathing; and anyone advised by a clinician to use a large‑volume spacer.

Who Should Avoid It?

Patients using dry-powder inhalers (DPIs) or non-compatible MDIs should not use this spacer. Seek pharmacist advice.

FAQs

Does a spacer reduce side effects?

Yes. By improving delivery to the lungs, less medicine deposits in the mouth and throat, which can reduce issues like oral thrush.

How often should I replace my Volumatic spacer?

Generally once a year, or sooner if it’s damaged or heavily scratched. Follow your clinician’s advice.

Can I use any inhaler with the Volumatic?

The Volumatic is designed for compatible metered-dose inhalers (pressurised MDIs). Always check device compatibility or ask a pharmacist.
