Instructions for Use and Handling: The Accuhaler/Diskus may be provided in a sealed foil overwrap which provides moisture protection. If so, the foil overwrap should only be opened when the patient is ready to use the Accuhaler/Diskus for the first time. Once removed/opened, the foil overwrap should be discarded.
The Accuhaler/Diskus releases a powder which is inhaled into the lungs.
The device is opened and primed by sliding the lever. The mouthpiece is then placed in the mouth and the lips closed around it. The dose can then be inhaled and the device closed.
A dose indicator on the Accuhaler/Diskus indicates the number of doses left.
Instructions for use of the SERETIDE Accuhaler/Diskus: CLOSED: When the patient takes the Accuhaler/Diskus out of its box and remove any foil overwrap that may be present, the Accuhaler/Diskus will be in the closed position.
OPENED: A new Accuhaler/Diskus contains 28 or 60 doses individually protected doses of the medicine, in powder form. The dose indicator tells how many doses are left.
Each dose is accurately measured and hygienically protected. It requires no maintenance-and no refilling.
The dose indicator on top of Accuhaler/Diskus tells how many doses are left. Numbers 5 to 0 will appear in RED, to warn the patient when there are only a few doses left.
The Accuhaler/Diskus is easy to use. When the patient needs a dose, just follow the five simple steps: 1. Open. 2. Slide. 3. Inhale. 4. Close. 5. Rinse.
How the Accuhaler/Diskus works: Sliding the lever of the Accuhaler/Diskus opens a small hole in the mouthpiece and unwraps a dose, ready for the patient to inhale it. When closing the Accuhaler/Diskus, the lever automatically moves back to its original position, ready for the next dose when the patient needs it. The outer case protects the Accuhaler/Diskus when it is not in use.
1. Open: How to use the Accuhaler/Diskus: To open the Accuhaler/Diskus, hold the outer case in one hand and put the thumb of the other hand on the thumbgrip. Push thumb away as far as it will go.
2. Slide: Hold the Accuhaler/Diskus with the mouthpiece towards the patient. Slide the lever away, as far as it will go-until it clicks. The Accuhaler/Diskus is now ready to use. Every time the lever is pushed back, a dose is made available for inhaling. This is shown by the dose counter. Do not play with the lever as this releases doses which will be wasted.
3. Inhale: Before the patient starts to inhale the dose, he/she must read through carefully.
Hold the Accuhaler/Diskus away from the mouth.
Breathe out as far as is comfortable. Remember-never breathe into the Accuhaler/Diskus.
Put the mouthpiece to the lips. Breathe in steadily and deeply-through the Accuhaler/Diskus, not through the nose.
Remove the Accuhaler/Diskus from the mouth.
Hold the breath for about 10 seconds, or for as long as is comfortable.
Breathe out slowly.
4. Close: To close the Accuhaler/Diskus, put the thumb in the thumbgrip, and slide the thumbgrip back towards the patient, as far as it will go.
When closing the Accuhaler/Diskus, it clicks shut. The lever automatically returns to its original position and is reset. The Accuhaler/Diskus is now ready to use again.
5. Rinse: Afterwards, rinse mouth with water and spit it out.
If the patient has been instructed to take two inhalations, the patient must close the Accuhaler/Diskus and repeat stages 1 to 4.
REMEMBER: Keep the Accuhaler/Diskus dry.
Keep it closed when not in use.
Never breathe into the Accuhaler/Diskus.
Only slide the lever when ready to take a dose.
Do not exceed the stated dose.
Incompatibilities: None reported.
