AeroChamber Plus® Valved Holding Chamber ("VHC") with Mouthpiece

Features/Benefits

  • AeroChamber Plus® VHC provides consistent, high performance aerosol drug delivery across a wide range of formulations  The unique, integrated valve and baffle "Flow Dynamic System" enhances fine particle dose delivery to the lungs.  As an example, during laboratory testing AeroChamber Plus® VHC delivered a fine particle dose of Serevent® pMDI (GlaxoSmithKline) equivalent to the substantially larger Volumatic® VHC (GlaxoSmithKline).  In separate testing AeroChamber Plus® VHC delivered over 30% more fine particle dose of Combivent® pMDI (Boehringer-Ingelheim) ,  Proventil® HFA pMDI (Key Pharmaceuticals) and Flovent® pMDI (GlaxoSmithKline) than the OptiChamber® VHC (Respironics). 
  • The sensitivity and resistance of the AeroChamber Plus® VHC valve is designed to operate at minimal resistance thresholds.  
  • AeroChamber Plus® VHC utilizes a 149-ml. chamber that is made from a unique, flexible, shatter resistant polymer blend, which improves aerodynamics and facilitates particle size selectivity to provide the maximum fine particle dose to the patient. AeroChamber Plus® VHC also significantly reduces the amount of coarse particles that are more likely to deposit in the upper respiratory tract and can be associated with candidiasis and hoarseness.
  • The patented FLOWSIGnal® whistle in the AeroChamber Plus® VHC encourages proper inspiratory maneuvers for optimum therapeutic performance.
  • Exhalation is directed away from the patient's eyes for optimum delivery safety. Certain formulations might cause unwanted ocular side effects if there is contact with the aerosolized medication.

  • Clear, easy to follow instructions available in 11 languages.
  • Available in over 90 countries worldwide and supported by over 300 publications, our valved holding chambers are the most commonly prescribed holding chambers in the world.

When compared to other pMDI aerosol devices, AeroChamber Plus® VHC provides consistent, high performance aerosol drug delivery, while encouraging compliance and optimizing potential therapeutic benefits. The AeroChamber Plus® VHC with mouthpiece is recommended for use with older children and adult patients. For lower tidal volume patients who have difficulty using a mouthpiece product, we recommend the use of our small/medium ComfortSeal® mask or large ComfortSeal® mask.
