AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Chamber, Drug Delivery System

AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Chamber Drug Delivery System

The AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Chamber is a valved holding chamber designed to support efficient delivery of medication from a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI). By providing a dedicated space to hold and suspend the aerosol, the chamber helps reduce the need for precise hand-breath coordination and can improve consistency of inhaled dosing when used as directed. This device is commonly used in respiratory care settings and at home as part of inhaled therapy for patients who use compatible inhalers.

The integrated Flow-Vu inhalation indicator provides visual confirmation of inhalation and helps caregivers and clinicians verify that the user is drawing medication through the chamber. The indicator moves with breathing, supporting technique coaching and adherence to prescribed use. The chamber’s one-way valve system is designed to hold the aerosol until inhalation, helping limit medication loss and reducing deposition in the mouth and throat compared with pMDI use alone.

Key Features

• Flow-Vu indicator: Visual inhalation feedback to support correct technique and monitoring.
• Valved holding chamber design: Helps coordinate actuation and inhalation and supports consistent aerosol delivery.
• Compatible with pMDIs: Intended for use with many common metered-dose inhalers (check inhaler fit and manufacturer guidance).
• Patient-friendly use: Supports users who may struggle with timing, including children, older adults, and those with limited dexterity.
• Mask options (model dependent): Some configurations are available with an attached face mask to assist users unable to seal around a mouthpiece.

Intended Use

This chamber is intended to be used with a pMDI for inhaled medication delivery. It is not an IV solution and does not administer fluids intravenously; it supports inhalation therapy by assisting aerosol medication delivery into the lungs. Use only as directed by a clinician and according to the device instructions for use.

How It Works

1. Attach the pMDI to the chamber’s inhaler port.
2. Place the mouthpiece in the mouth with a good seal, or ensure a properly fitted mask seal if using a mask configuration.
3. Actuate the inhaler to release a dose into the chamber.
4. Inhale as directed; observe the Flow-Vu indicator movement to confirm inhalation.
5. Repeat for additional puffs if prescribed, following recommended timing between actuations.

Care and Cleaning

Routine cleaning helps maintain valve function and performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding cleaning method, drying, inspection, and replacement intervals. Do not modify the device. Replace the chamber if valves are damaged, the indicator no longer functions as expected, or the device shows wear that may affect performance.

Product Summary

For best results, use the AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Chamber with the prescribed inhaler and technique training from a healthcare professional, and consult the device instructions for cleaning, storage, and replacement guidance.
