Inhaler

The AEROCHAMBER* MV Holding Chamber can be used for adults or in paediatric applications in a ventilator circuit or with a resuscitation bag. This chamber is removed from the circuit following treatment.

  • Clinically validated for use in ventilator circuits1
  • Widely available chamber has been on the market for over 20 years

Currently this is not available for purchase through this website.

Why use an inhaler always together with an AEROCHAMBER* MV spacer?

Use of a spacer simplifies coordination of MDI actuation and inhalation, reducing aerosol losses with poor hand-breath coordination.2

Features

  • Can be used with most MDI canisters (excluding those with integrated dose counters)
  • Clear chamber allows for visualization of aerosol
  • Single-patient use, multiple use (replace with the circuit)

Step 2

Disconnect the inspiratory limb of the circuit from the wye. Connect the 22 MM
inner diameter (C) end to the wye. Connect the adapter (A) to the inspiratory limb
of the circuit. The canister port (D) must be on top and distal to the patient.

Step 3

Shake the MDI canister immediately before use as per the instructions supplied
with the MDI. Insert the MDI canister into the canister port (D), being careful not to
discharge the canister at this time.

Step 5

Following treatment, remove the MDI canister from the chamber. Remove the
chamber from the circuit. Reconnect the inspiratory limb of the circuit to the wye. Do
not leave the chamber in the circuit after administering medication, the chamber will
collect condensate water. Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.


Cleaning

The device should not be cleaned. It can be replaced with the ventilator circuit. Refer to the instructions for use for additional information.
