About MD Turbo

What is MD Turbo?
MD Turbo™ is a handheld companion to inhalers that helps patients coordinate the press-and-breathe action needed for proper use of their inhaler.

Once an inhaler is loaded, MD Turbo™ triggers the release of medication during the patient's inspiratory breath. MD Turbo™ activates between 30-60 L/min, triggering the release of medication at a time when delivery to the lungs is optimized.

MD Turbo™ addresses the two biggest problems associated with MDIs:

1) It synchronizes the release of medication from the inhaler with the user's inspiratory breath to address the problem of poor coordination.

2) It includes an electronic dose counter that shows patients how much medication is left in their inhaler.

MD Turbo™ is a compact, handheld device that can be used with over 90% of the MDIs dispensed in the U.S., and has a one-year lifespan.

Why MD Turbo?
Over 50% of inhaler users, regardless of their age or how long they have used an inhaler, cannot coordinate the press-and-breathe action required to use their inhaler properly. The result is that less medication makes it to the lungs and much of the medicine is deposited on the back of the throat.

With proper timing, the amount of medication that is delivered to the lungs is tripled⁵. MD Turbo™ is designed to help patients coordinate the press-and-breathe action needed for inhalers to work the way they were designed.

Research has shown that 74% of patients do not know how much medication is left in their inhaler⁵. The counter on MD Turbo™ incorporates a numeric and graphic display of the number of doses remaining to address this problem.
