Valved Holding Chamber ("VHC") |

with Large
ComfortSeal® Mask |
|

Features/Benefits
- The AeroChamber Plus® VHC with
Large
ComfortSeal® mask is ideal for adult patients with Asthma or
COPD who also suffer from secondary conditions such as arthritis,
Parkinson's or other coordination related disorders which influences their
ability to effectively use the AeroChamber Plus® VHC
mouthpiece version.
- The ComfortSeal® mask simplifies
the inhalation maneuver when the patient has difficulty holding the device,
achieving a lip seal around a mouthpiece or inhaling only through their
mouth. This feature may also be helpful to the caregiver since
it can save significant time compared to conventional nebulization. In
a study titled "Efficacy of mask spacer with metered dose
inhaler in the frail elderly" LG Nair, R Diamond, S
Thakore and JM Fine, concluded that the use a mask provided clinical
equivalency to nebulization with improved technique and cooperation.
- AeroChamber Plus® VHC provides
consistent, high aerosol drug delivery performance across a wide range of
formulations. The unique, integrated valve and baffle "Flow Dynamic
System" enhances fine particle dose delivery to the lung. 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 ensure
the maximum fine particle dose. AeroChamber Plus® VHC significantly reduces the amount of
coarse particles, that are more likely
to deposit in the upper respiratory tract.

- 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.
- Patented FLOWSIGnal® whistle encourages the proper
inspiratory maneuver thus optimizing drug delivery.
- Clear, easy to follow instructions available in
11
languages.
- Available in over 90 countries worldwide and backed by over
300 published articles,
our valved holding chambers are the most
frequently prescribed holding chambers in the world.

The AeroChamber Plus® VHC with Large
ComfortSeal® mask is ideal for older patients with compromised coordination, such
as those with secondary conditions to their respiratory disease. The ComfortSeal®
mask reduces the coordination requirements needed to achieve a lip seal around a
mouthpiece and/or breath exclusively through the mouth. The AeroChamber
Plus® VHC with Large
ComfortSeal® mask incorporates a unique one way exhalation
valve, which directs the patient's exhalation away from the face and eyes, for
delivery safety. This feature is particularly important where formulations might
cause unwanted side effects if sprayed into the eyes.
For patients
who are able to properly coordinate the pMDI technique, we recommend the use of
the AeroChamber Plus® VHC with
mouthpiece. For low tidal volume patients, we recommend the use of the AeroChamber
Plus® VHC with
Small or Medium ComfortSeal® mask.
