The new AeroPEP Plus™ Valved Holding Chamber ("VHC") is a combination valved holding chamber and positive expiratory pressure ("PEP") device for your COPD and asthma patients. The device can be used as a PEP device alone or in conjunction with the delivery of aerosolized medication from a metered dose inhaler (pMDI) as prescribed by a physician or health care provider. 

Additional patient benefits. 

PEP therapy can reduce air trapping in asthma and COPD and can be used as a substitute for pursed-lip breathing. Additionally, PEP therapy promotes bronchial hygiene, improves bronchodilation, and can be used to treat atelectasis. 

Advanced valve system. 

An adjustable orifice PEP device is built into the chamber exhalation valve. The aerosol delivery and PEP therapy features operate independently and do not interfere with each other. 

Six PEP settings. 

The new AeroPEP Plus™ VHC features six PEP settings that allow the caregiver to prescribe the appropriate resistance level. A removable adapter to attach a pressure manometer is included to determine an initial setting.
