HOW TO USE YOUR AEROCHAMBER WITH MASK
1. Insert the inhaler into the end of the Aerochamber. 2. Shake the inhaler vigorously. 3. Place the mask over the baby's mouth AND nose to make a tight seal so the medicine can’t escape from the chamber. 4. Press down on the inhaler, releasing the medicine into the Aerochamber. 5. Keep the mask over the baby's mouth and nose while the baby breathes in and out 6 times. You can watch his or her stomach move up and down or watch the valve of the Aerochamber opening and closing 6 times. 6. Repeat steps #2-#4 for the second puff. * Do not spray more than 1 puff at a time into the Aerochamber. * You must keep the Aerochamber in a case or a ziplock plastic bag in order to prevent it getting dusty. * Clean the mask every day with rubbing alcohol. Be careful not to tear or puncture the mask. * Rinse the inside of the aerochamber 2-3 times a week with warm soapy water. You must rinse it thoroughly with clean water and make sure you COMPLETELY DRY the inside. * You can use the Aerochamber for more than one medication, but do not share it with another person.
