Table 9.

Cleaning instructions for the pressurized metered dose inhaler chamber

The chamber device should be cleaned every 2 weeks and when needed

The device should be disassembled for cleaning

The spacer parts are soaked in warm water containing a liquid detergent. Both pieces should then be gently shaken back and forth

Excess water is then removed by shaking the parts out

Spacer parts should be air dried overnight in a vertical position

It is not allowed to dry the spacer using a towel because this will produce static charges and hinder dose delivery

When the spacer becomes dry, reassemble the parts
