Introduction

The STERIS DPI DEVICE is a modern dry powder inhaler (DPI) used for delivering medication directly to the lungs. Unlike traditional inhalers, dry powder inhalers use powdered medication, making them breath-actuated and eliminating the need for coordination between pressing and inhaling. Dry powder inhalers are widely used in the management of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). At Steris Healthcare Pvt Ltd, our DPI devices are manufactured under WHO-GMP standards, ensuring safety, reliability, and patient-friendly use.

Types of Dry Powder Inhalers

Dry powder inhalers can be classified based on device design and capsule type:

1. Single-Dose DPIs – Use individual capsules for each dose. The patient loads a capsule into the inhaler before use.

2. Multi-Dose DPIs – Preloaded with multiple doses, convenient for long-term treatment.

3. Reservoir DPIs – Hold bulk powder in a reservoir; a dose is measured with each inhalation.

4. Capsule-Based DPIs – Patients insert a capsule containing powdered medication into the device before inhalation.

STERIS DPI DEVICE is primarily a capsule-based dry powder inhaler, offering accurate dosing and easy handling.

How to Use a Dry Powder Inhaler

Using a capsule dry powder inhaler like STERIS DPI DEVICE is simple:

1. Load the Capsule – Insert the dry powder capsule into the inhaler chamber.

2. Pierce the Capsule – Close the device to puncture the capsule and release the powder.

3. Exhale Fully – Breathe out away from the mouthpiece.

4. Inhale deeply – Inhale the medication quickly and deeply to ensure it reaches the lungs.

5. Hold Breath – Hold your breath for 5–10 seconds to allow deposition in the lungs.

6. Repeat if Needed – Use a new capsule for additional doses.

Tip: Avoid shaking the inhaler; always store capsules in a dry place.
