Overview
How does the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult optimise inhaler medication delivery?
The AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult is a valved holding chamber (spacer device) engineered to improve the delivery of aerosolised medication from pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs). The primary challenge with standard pMDIs is coordinating actuator depression with oral inhalation. The AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult traps the atomised medication within its clear chamber, allowing the patient to inhale the aerosolised particles at a steady, natural pace. This design ensures that the micro-fine medication particles travel deep into the lower respiratory tract rather than depositing on the back of the throat or the roof of the mouth.
What are the clinical benefits of the Flow-Vu Dedicated Inhalation Indicator?
Inhaling aerosolised asthma or COPD medication too quickly or improperly reduces drug deposition in the pulmonary airways. The key feature of the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult is its integrated Flow-Vu dedicated inhalation indicator. This visual mechanism moves dynamically as the user breathes in, providing real-time feedback to confirm an adequate seal and correct inhalation technique. Furthermore, the chamber features a low-resistance exhalation valve that vents exhaled breath away from the chamber, preventing moisture accumulation and ensuring smooth, effortless airflow during treatment.
How does anti-static technology improve dosage accuracy?
Standard plastic spacers can develop electrostatic charges that attract suspended drug particles to the inner walls, reducing the available dose delivered to the lungs. The AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult incorporates an anti-static chamber that prevents electrostatic attraction. This ensures that the suspended aerosol particles remain in suspension longer,guaranteeing that the user receives a consistent, accurate, and predictable dose of medication with every actuation.
Usage Instructions
How should the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult be used for maximum drug deposition?
Follow these steps for optimal medication delivery:
-
Remove the protective caps from both the metered-dose inhaler mouthpiece and the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult.
-
Insert the inhaler mouthpiece into the flexible backpiece of the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult.
-
Shake the combined inhaler and spacer vigorously 4 to 5 times.
-
Sit upright or stand, exhale fully away from the device, and place the mouthpiece of the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult between your teeth, sealing your lips firmly around it.
-
Press the inhaler canister once to release a single puff of medication into the chamber.
-
Breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth. Observe the Flow-Vu indicator to ensure it moves toward you as you inhale.
-
Hold your breath for 5 to 10 seconds (or for as long as comfortable) before exhaling gently away from the device.
If a second dose is prescribed, wait 30 to 60 seconds and repeat the process from step 3. Always rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after using corticosteroid inhalers.
Clean the device once weekly by dismantling the backpiece, soaking the parts in warm water with mild liquid dishwashing detergent for 15 minutes, rinsing gently, and allowing them to air-dry vertically on a clean towel. Do not rub the inside of the chamber dry with a cloth, as this creates static charge.
Warnings
What critical safety precautions apply when using the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult?
The AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult is strictly for single-patient use to prevent cross-contamination and respiratory infections; do not share the device with others. Do not use the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult if the chamber,valves, or mouthpiece appear cracked, worn, or damaged in any way.
Important Usage Precautions:
-
Single Puff Actuation: Administer only one puff of medication into the chamber at a time. Actuating multiple puffs into the chamber simultaneously causes the aerosol droplets to coalesce, significantly reducing the breathable dose.
-
Avoid Rapid Inhalation: If you hear a high-pitched whistle sound while inhaling through the device, you are breathing in too quickly. Slow your inhalation speed down to ensure maximum lung deposition.
-
Corticosteroid Hygiene: Always rinse your mouth, gargle with water, and spit after administering steroid inhalers through the spacer to reduce the risk of oral candidiasis (thrush) and dysphonia (hoarseness).
Replace the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult every 12 months, or sooner if the internal valves become damaged or unresponsive. Store in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and dust, and keep safely out of the sight and reach of children.
Who Is It For
Who is the intended user for the AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult?
The AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult is intended for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older who use pressurized metered-dose inhalers for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other obstructive airway diseases. The AeroChamber Plus Mouthpiece Adult is particularly suitable for individuals who struggle with inhaler coordination, those prescribed high-dose corticosteroid inhalers (to prevent oral thrush and hoarseness), and patients experiencing poor symptom control with standard pMDIs.
