How to Use This Calculator
- Select your inhaler device type (pMDI, DPI, pMDI + Spacer, or SMI).
- Rate each technique step as correct (1) or incorrect (0): cap removal, priming, exhale before inhaling, lip seal, inhalation speed, breath-hold, and rinsing.
- Review your technique score (%) and the number of critical errors.
- Read the explanations for each step to identify and correct technique errors.
- Poor inhaler technique reduces drug delivery -- review with a pharmacist or respiratory therapist.
