Precautions:
Do not make changes to any prescribed medication or prescribed treatment program without consulting your doctor.
Do not use POWERbreathe if you are suffering from a ruptured eardrum.
To prevent the potential transmission of infections, we recommend that you do not share your POWERbreathe with other users, including family members.
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
POWERbreathe is designed for exercising your inspiratory muscles only. No other use is intended or implied.
Anyone who is under the age of 16 should only use POWERbreathe with supervision from an adult. POWERbreathe contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 7 years.
Whilst training with POWERbreathe you should feel resistance when inhaling but it should not be painful. If you should feel pain whilst using POWERbreathe, stop immediately and consult your doctor.
Some users may experience slight ear discomfort when training with Medic Plus, especially if they are recovering from a cold. This is caused by inadequate equalization of pressure between the mouth and ears. If symptoms persist, please consult your doctor.
If you are suffering from a cold, sinusitis or respiratory tract infection, we advise that you do not use POWERbreathe until symptoms have disappeared. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
Refer to your Healthcare Professional before using POWERbreathe if you have any of the following conditions:
A history of spontaneous pneumothorax (a collapsed lung that was not due to traumatic injury e.g. broken rib), as it may lead to a recurrence of the condition.
Pulmonary hypertension o Large bullae on chest x-ray
Marked osteoporosis with history of rib fractures
Desaturation during or following IMT (<94%)

Asthma patients who have low symptom perception and suffer from frequent, severe exacerbations or with an abnormally low perception of dyspnea
If you are suffering from a ruptured eardrum or any other condition of the ear
Patients with marked elevated left ventricular end-diastolic volume and pressure
Patients with worsening heart failure signs and symptoms after RMT / IMT
If in doubt, consult your Healthcare Professional.
Cleaning:
Your POWERbreathe will be exposed to saliva during use. We recommend that a few times a week you remove the valve head with mouthpiece and soak it in warm water for about 10 minutes (see POWERbreathe Manual for full details), but once a week soak the valve head with mouthpiece in a mild soap and water.
DO NOT immerse the handset or expose it to running water as this will damage the electronics.
