The professional's guide to product selection
Mag-Flo is suitable for use with most DPIs and comes with adaptors for connecting to most makes. Patients can test their inhaler technique by attaching their inhaler to the Mag- Flo and breathing in quickly. When they have reached the minimum required inhaled flow rate, a green light will come on. They should then keep inhaling for as long as possible with the green light on. Inhale too fast or too slow and the green light will go out.
