How to use an Ellipta dry
 powder inhaler.

 

00:00:05;17 - 00:00:06;19

Check the dose counter. 

 

00:00:06;25 - 00:00:09;11

Do not use if the
 dose counter says zero.

 

00:00:09;23 - 00:00:13;06

Zero means the inhaler is empty and
 needs to be replaced.

 

00:00:14;00 - 00:00:16;22

Hold the inhaler upright and
 do not shake it.

 

00:00:17;18 - 00:00:19;21

Pull the cover down until
 you hear a click.

 

00:00:20;12 - 00:00:21;21

This loads a dose. 

 

00:00:22;07 - 00:00:25;03

Prepare your body by sitting or standing
 up straight.

 

00:00:25;16 - 00:00:28;02

Breathe out all the way
 away from the device.

00:00:30;28 - 00:00:32;11

Tilt your head back slightly.

Put the curved mouthpiece in your
 mouth between your teeth

 

00:00:35;26 - 00:00:37;20

and close your lips tightly
 around it.

 

00:00:38;01 - 00:00:39;23

Do not block the air vents. 

 

00:00:40;29 - 00:00:42;16

Breathe in deeply through
 your mouth.

 

00:00:43;03 - 00:00:44;14

Remove the inhaler. 

 

00:00:44;29 - 00:00:47;07

Hold your breath for up to
 5 seconds.

 

00:00:48;14 - 00:00:50;22

Breathe out slowly away from
 the device.

 

00:00:51;26 - 00:00:54;20

Close the cover by sliding the cover
 up and over the

 

00:00:54;22 - 00:00:56;15

mouthpiece as far as
 it will go.

 

00:00:57;14 - 00:00:59;22

Rinse your mouth out with water and
 spit it out.

 

00:01:00;13 - 00:01:02;06

Store in a cool, dry place.
 

 

00:01:02;25 - 00:01:05;08
