Using the Inhaler
The Digihaler family of inhalers includes ProAir Digihaler (albuterol sulfate) for rescue therapy and AirDuo Digihaler (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) and ArmonAir Digihaler (fluticasone propionate) for maintenance therapy.
Each inhaler in the Digihaler family contains the medication prescribed to you by your healthcare provider. Each time you open the cap and it “clicks”, a single dose of your medication is ready to be inhaled.
In addition to your medication, each inhaler in the Digihaler family contains a built-in electronic module that records and stores information about inhaler events. This information is transmitted to the Digihaler app through Bluetooth® wireless technology. The electronic module detects and records how often you use your inhaler and measures inspiratory flow rates. Inhaler use is recorded as an event when the cap is opened or you inhale.
Please see full indications for ProAir Digihaler, AirDuo Digihaler, and ArmonAir Digihaler in the Approved Uses and Important Safety Information below.

How do I take care of my inhaler?

- Remember to close the cap after using your inhaler.
- If the mouthpiece needs cleaning, gently wipe the mouthpiece with a dry cloth or tissue as needed.

Do I need to charge or change the battery in my inhaler?

No, the battery does not require charging or changing.
Is the battery inside my inhaler allowed for air travel?

Yes. It is a low power CR2032 coin cell battery, which is allowed for air travel.
When should I replace my ProAir Digihaler, AirDuo Digihaler, or ArmonAir Digihaler?

The counter on the back of your inhaler shows how many doses you have left. The dose counter color will change to red when there are 20 doses left.

If your inhaler dose counter is low, a notification indicating this will appear in the app. When you receive these alerts, you should refill your prescription or ask your healthcare provider for another prescription. When the counter displays “0,” your inhaler is empty and you should stop using the inhaler and throw it away.
Throw away your ProAir Digihaler 13 months after opening the foil pouch, when the dose counter displays ‘0’, or after the expiration date on the package, whichever comes first.
Throw away your AirDuo Digihaler or ArmonAir Digihaler 30 days after opening the foil pouch, when the dose counter displays ‘0’, or after the expiration date on the package, whichever comes first.
What does it mean that the Digihaler family of inhalers are "breath-actuated?"

The Digihaler family of inhalers are “breath-actuated”—meaning they release the medicine when you breathe in. There’s no need to press a canister and breathe in at the same time as with traditional inhalers.
Can I use a spacer with my ProAir Digihaler, AirDuo Digihaler, or ArmonAir Digihaler?

No, the Digihaler family of inhalers are breath-actuated dry-powder inhalers and were designed to be used without a spacer.
What type of technology is inside the Digihaler family of inhalers?

Each inhaler in the Digihaler family of inhalers contains a built-in electronic module that records and stores information about inhaler events. This information is transmitted to the Digihaler app through Bluetooth wireless technology. Through built-in sensors, the electronic module detects and records how often you use your inhaler and measures inspiratory flow (which means how strongly you breathe in). Inhaler use is recorded as an event when the cap is opened or you inhale. Inspiratory flow is measured in liters per minute (L/min). Events are categorized in the app as “good inhalation” (>45 L/min), “fair inhalation” (30-45 L/min), “low or no inhalation” (<30 L/min), “exhalation,” or “possible air vent block.”
When your Digihaler is used with the Digihaler app, you can view your inhaler event information. Your information will be sent to the app once the inhaler is within range of your smartphone with Bluetooth turned on.
Connection to the app is required for transmission of information, but is not required for delivery of the medicine from the inhaler. The electronic module does not control or interfere with delivery of the medicine through the inhaler.
Can I use my ProAir Digihaler, AirDuo Digihaler, or ArmonAir Digihaler without the app?

Yes. Any inhaler in the Digihaler family will still deliver medicine without being connected to the companion Digihaler app.
Will ProAir Digihaler, AirDuo Digihaler, or ArmonAir Digihaler still deliver medicine without being connected to the internet?

Yes. The inhalers will still deliver medicine without an internet connection.
