AeroChamber Plus® Valved Holding Chamber ("VHC")
with Small or Medium ComfortSeal® Mask

Features/Benefits

  • The AeroChamber Plus® Valved Holding Chamber with Small or Medium ComfortSeal® mask and colored exhalation valve is specifically designed to meet the needs of low tidal volume patients. Each product feature has been incorporated to ensure maximum aerosol performance while encouraging compliance.
  • The ComfortSeal® mask provides minimal dead space, a comfortable fit, and a secure seal across a wide age range. A tight fitting face mask is critical when delivering aerosols to low tidal volume patients. The ComfortSeal® Mask has demonstrated superior performance in maintaining a seal and minimizing leakage when compared to other commonly used face masks.  The seal is vital in avoiding drug loss around the mask edges, a common problem with other devices.
  • AeroChamber Plus® VHC's robust colored exhalation valve system is built into the mask and ensures low resistance to airflow. Exhalation is directed away from the patient's eyes for increased delivery safety. Certain formulations might cause unwanted ocular side effects if there is contact with the aerosolized medication.
  • AeroChamber Plus® VHC's colored exhalation  valves are clearly visible to provide feedback to the caregiver on proper functioning.  
  • The AeroBear™  character helps educate young patients on the proper use of VHCs and thus encourages compliance.  Parents of children using the device have written letters to us with comments on the AeroBearcharacter such as "...Those bears were a stroke of genius!  Now there is no argument about using his 'bear puffer'" and "Mackenzie had been very reluctant to use the puffer. And I was worried about what I was going to do to get her to take it since she really needed it.  When she saw the bears she was thrilled! And then so was I because she wanted to try it. Once she tried it she realized it wasn't hard at all. The
    pictures showing the bear using it also made it easy too. If the bear could do it then so could she. So she has now used it twice and all has gone well.
    Thanks so much." 
  • AeroChamber Plus® VHC provides consistent, high performance aerosol drug delivery  across a wide range of formulations. The unique, integrated valve and baffle system, enhances fine particle dose delivery to the lung. As an example, during laboratory testing AeroChamber Plus® VHC delivers at least 50% more fine particle dose of  FloventpMDI (GlaxoSmithKline)  than the OptiChamber® (Respironics) brand of VHC.  
  • 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 ensure the maximum fine particle dose. AeroChamber Plus® significantly reduces the amount of coarse particles that are more likely to deposit in the upper respiratory tract.  
  • The sensitivity and resistance of the AeroChamber Plus® VHC valve is designed to operate at minimal resistance thresholds. Competitive brands utilize "one size fits all" valves. Only AeroChamber Plus® VHC brand products tailor both the inhalation and exhalation valves resistance to each design.
  • Clear, easy-to-follow instructions available in 11 languages.
  • Available in over 90 countries worldwide and backed by over 300 publications, our valved holding chambers are the most commonly prescribed holding chambers in the world.
