AEROCHAMBER PLUS FLOW-VU Chamber - Youth Mouthpiece (5+ years)

Use of a spacer is a simple and effective way to help improve the use of your inhaler. Spacers help to ensure that your medicine reaches your lungs where it’s needed and limits the amount that ends up in the back of the throat.¹

People who use a valved holding chamber (VHC) such as AEROCHAMBER PLUS* FLOW-VU* chamber, with their inhaler have better control of their respiratory symptoms.² It fits all commonly prescribed metered dose inhalers (and soft mist inhalers).

To improve drug delivery, respiratory guidelines recommend the use of chambers when using metered dose inhalers or puffers in people of all ages.^3,4 

The AEROCHAMBER PLUS* FLOW-VU* Chamber is the only chamber with a dedicated inhalation indicator.

• The FLOW-VU* Inhalation Indicator gives caregivers visual assurance of correct use and medication delivery
• Helps co-ordinate actuation with inhalation
• FLOWSIGNAL* whistle sounds if you are inhaling too quickly

Extra sensitive, low-resistance valve designed specifically for children.

Children are usually able to transition to a regular chamber (without mask) around 5 years of age. However, if you prefer the ease of the mask, you can continue to use. Check with your pharmacist to select the appropriate spacer option.
