STERIS DPI DEVICE

The STERIS DPI Device is a user-friendly and efficient dry powder inhaler (DPI) engineered to deliver medications directly into the lungs. Specially designed for respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD, this advanced device ensures accurate and consistent drug delivery without the need for propellants. Its portable design, ease of use, and precision make it an essential tool in modern respiratory care.

What is STERIS DPI DEVICE?

The STERIS DPI Device is a dry powder inhaler—a device that delivers medication to the lungs in the form of a dry powder. Unlike metered-dose inhalers that require coordination between actuation and inhalation, DPI devices are breath-activated, making them more suitable for patients who may find other inhalers difficult to use.

DPI Full Form: Dry Powder Inhaler
What is DPI? DPI refers to a drug delivery system used to administer powdered medication directly into the lungs through inhalation. It is widely used in the management of chronic respiratory diseases.

Uses of STERIS DPI DEVICE

The STERIS DPI Device is used for inhaling dry powder medications prescribed for:

• Asthma

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

• Bronchitis and related respiratory conditions

• Preventive treatment of lung inflammation

• Long-term respiratory therapy

Its effective dispersion of powdered medicine helps in reducing airway inflammation, improving breathing, and preventing asthma attacks.

How Does It Work?

The STERIS DPI Device works by using the patient’s own inhalation effort to draw powdered medication deep into the lungs. When the user breathes in through the mouthpiece, the airflow de-aggregates the dry powder, allowing it to be absorbed effectively by the lungs.

This method is particularly advantageous because it doesn't require hand-lung coordination, and the medication reaches the lungs with minimal wastage.

Side Effects

While the STERIS DPI Device itself is safe and mechanical, the medication used within it may cause side effects, such as:

• Throat irritation

• Hoarseness of voice

• Coughing

• Dry mouth

• Headache

• Rare allergic reactions (depending on the active drug used)

Rinsing the mouth after each use can help prevent some of these side effects, especially fungal infections like oral thrush.

Precautions Before Using

Before using the STERIS DPI Device:

• Make sure you are trained in its correct usage

• Use only medications prescribed by your physician for DPI use

• Keep the device clean and dry

• Do not exhale into the device as moisture can clump the powder

• Inform your doctor if you have conditions like severe respiratory infections, tuberculosis, or hypersensitivity to any inhaled medications

Storage & Handling Instructions

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Keep the device capped when not in use

• Do not wash the inhaler with water; use a dry cloth if cleaning is needed

• Keep out of reach of children
