The AEROCHAMBER* mini Anti-Static Holding Chamber can be used in a ventilator circuit or with a resuscitation bag. Compact, the chamber minimizes dead space. This chamber is removed from the circuit following treatment.
Small volume chamber suitable for application in neonates and other patients with lower tidal volumes
Anti-static improves the reliability of medication delivery1
Ready to use directly out of the package – time saving with no pretreatment needed
AERODOCK* Canister Port and a removable canister adaptor allows for use with all types of metered dose inhalers, including those with integrated dose counters
15mm connector fits standard endotracheal tubes
Separate exhalation channel minimizes dead space for low tidal volume patients
Single-patient use, multiple use (replace with the circuit)

Step 1
Disconnect the wye from the endotracheal tube. Connect the 15 mm endotracheal tube connector (A) to the endotracheal tube. Connect the wye connector (B) to the wye. The arrow on the chamber must point towards the patient and the canister port (C) must be on top.

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 (C), being careful not to discharge the canister at this time. The integrated counter in GlaxoSmithKline† type MDI canister will be functional upon actuation.
