What to buy with AeroChamber Plus Z Spacer
How does AeroChamber Z STAT Inhaler work?
AeroChamber is a spacer device that makes it easier to get more medication from an inhaler into the lungs. It can be used all the time, or if asthma is playing up a bit. AeroChamber inhaler maximizes delivery of medication to the lungs by separating the small medication particles from large. As the patient inhales, the smaller particles float out of the one-way valve of the chamber into the respiratory tract where they easily reach areas of the lungs that need it most. The Monaghan inhaler spacer holds any remaining small particles not inhaled the first time, which allows the patient to take more than one breath per puff of medicine administered. This is especially helpful to those who cannot achieve a high peak expiratory flow (PEF), and assures the maximum amount of prescribed medicine gets into the lungs for optimum benefit.
- EZ Flow Exhalation Valve: Minimizes re-breathing and directs exhaled flow away from the face of the patient.
- Anti-Static Chamber: Anti-static polymer chamber minimizes static charge which maximizes performance with pMDI formulations.
- Low Resistance Inhalation Valve: Lower resistance valve requires less effort to open by low flow patients.
- Universal Backpiece: Fits all commonly prescribed Metered Dose Inhalers.
- FlowSignal Whistle: Optional FlowSignal whistle alerts patients to breathe slowly.
