Cipla Zerostat VT Spacer is a transparent, non-static inhalation chamber designed for use with a compatible pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI). It temporarily holds the medicine released from the inhaler, allowing the user additional time to inhale the dose slowly and comfortably. The spacer features a unidirectional FlowGate valve that helps prevent dilution of the released dose. Its non-electrostatic chamber helps reduce medicine sticking to the chamber walls and supports effective delivery of inhaled medication to the lungs with less deposition in the mouth and throat. Zerostat VT Spacer does not contain medicine and must be used with the inhaler prescribed by a healthcare professional. Correct inhaler and spacer technique is important for receiving the intended dose.

Key Features

• FlowGate Valve: The unidirectional valve helps prevent dilution of the released inhaler dose.
• Non-Static Chamber: Helps minimize medicine sticking to the internal chamber walls.
• Transparent Design: Allows the user to see the medicine released inside the chamber.
• Supports Easier Inhalation: Holds the medicine briefly, reducing the need to coordinate inhalation precisely with inhaler actuation.
• Reduced Mouth and Throat Deposition: Helps more of the inhaled medicine travel toward the lungs.
• Reusable Device: Can be cleaned and reused according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Product Components

• Inhalation Chamber: Temporarily holds the medicine released from the inhaler.
• FlowGate Valve: Controls the direction of airflow during inhalation.
• Mouthpiece: Allows the user to inhale medicine from the chamber.
• Inhaler Slot: Holds a compatible pressurized metered-dose inhaler securely.

How to Use

• Firmly join the two halves of the spacer and rotate them until securely locked.
