Clement Clarke In-Check Dial G16 Inhaler Training Device (Various Inhaler Types)

• Simulates different types of inhaler including pMDI and various breath-actuated models:
• Suitable for multi-patient use (with appropriate one-way disposable inspiratory mouthpieces)
• Hand-calibrated for accuracy. Low-cost yet effective inhaler training.
• 2016 Updated model - G16 version
• Designed for healthcare professionals

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 measures 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 Can be used with disposable INSPIRATORY one-way mouthpieces 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, 5 dry powder inhalers and 1 is pressurised metered dose inhalers (pMDIs). A guide to identify the resistance group for each inhaler is provided on the G16 and on the associated guide. The ability to use In-Check DIAL G16 to measure specific flow rate of a particular inhaler can still be achieved through the use of a specific restrictive adapter. An example adapter is now included in the pack. 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. The aim is to encourage flow rates that are within the green band indicating the range of flows consistent with clinical efficacy.
