A hand-held device designed to administer a pre-measured dose of aerosolized medication directly into the mouth of a patient. It typically consists of a shaped plastic holder with integrated mouthpiece into which a pressurized metal canister containing the solution or suspension of medicine is placed. Commonly known as a metered dose inhaler (MDI), aerosol inhaler or puffer, it is a portable device typically carried in the pocket or a handbag (purse) of the patient for convenient access. A medicine chamber spacer may be attached to this device to facilitate its use by small children (enables the slow inhalation of the medicine). This is a reusable device intended for single-patient use.
