Zerostat Mini Spacer is a compact, portable holding chamber designed to make your inhaler work better. When attached to a pressurized metered-dose inhaler, it holds the medicine mist for a few seconds so you can breathe it in slowly and deeply. This helps more medicine reach the lungs and less stick in the mouth or throat. Ideal for children, the elderly, or anyone who finds it hard to press the inhaler and breathe in at the exact same time. Lightweight, easy to carry, and simple to clean.

How Does It Work?
When you press the inhaler into the spacer, the medicine is released into the chamber instead of directly into your mouth. This slows down the spray, allows larger particles to settle, and lets you inhale the finer mist at your own pace. The result is better lung delivery and fewer side effects from medicine left in the mouth.
Directions For Use
Remove the inhaler cap and shake the inhaler well.
Insert the inhaler mouthpiece into the slot of the spacer.
Breathe out fully, away from the spacer.
Place the spacer mouthpiece in your mouth and seal your lips around it.
Press the inhaler once to release the dose into the chamber.
Breathe in slowly and deeply, then hold your breath for up to 10 seconds.
Alternatively, take 3–5 normal breaths through the spacer.
Wait one minute before a second dose if needed.
Rinse your mouth after use and spit the water out.
Clean the spacer weekly with mild soapy water, rinse, and air-dry upright.
