POWERbreathe Medic Classic contains:
- POWERbreathe Medic Classic Respiratory Muscle Trainer
- Nose clip
- Storage pouch
- 4 cleansing tablets
- User Manual
Directions
Simply put the nose-clip on so that it pushes your nostrils together and then breathe in through the POWERbreathe (use a little extra effort than you would to breathe normally), and the device will do the rest.
Cleaning
Your POWERbreathe will be exposed to saliva during use. We recommend that a few times a week you remove the valve head and soak it in warm water for about 10 minutes (see POWERbreathe Manual for full details). Soak the valve head in a mild sterilising solution instead of water once a week, ideally using POWERbreathe Cleansing Tablets.

Cautions
- Respiratory/Inspiratory muscle training, such as training with POWERbreathe, is not recommended for patients with 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.
- Following a traumatic pneumothorax and/or broken rib, POWERbreathe should not be used prior to full recovery.
- POWERbreathe is not suitable for asthma patients who have low symptom perception and suffer from frequent, severe exacerbations.
- Do not make changes to any prescribed medication or prescribed treatment programme without consulting your doctor.
- 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 POWERbreathe, 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 your POWERbreathe until symptoms have disappeared. If in doubt, consult 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.
- If you have any doubts about POWERbreathe's suitability, or you have a medical condition, please consult your doctor.
