Drug safety notice: Metered dose inhaler spacer devices

June 17, 2020

The currently stocked Able Spacer and AeroChamber device used at the Trust are not compatible with all MDI devices available today mainly due to the inhaler port design. These will be phased out and replaced with EasyChamber.

All prescribers are urged to review patients to determine if a spacer device is beneficial for medication compliance. Inhaler technique must be reviewed and appropriate referral made to the respiratory nurse specialists/ paediatric teams or ward pharmacists.

Please see Drug safety notice – metered dose inhaler spacer devices for further details.  

For more information please contact the pharmacy department (City ext. 5263, Sandwell ext. 3783).
