How Does the AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Youth Mouthpiece Work?
What is the AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Youth Mouthpiece?
The AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Youth Mouthpiece is a valved holding chamber (VHC) designed to improve the effectiveness of aerosol medication delivery for children aged 5 years and older. It is used with metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) to help children receive the full dose of their medication.
The product specifically uses a mouthpiece design, eliminating the need for a mask, making it ideal for children who can properly seal the device around their mouth.
How the AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Works
The AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Youth Mouthpiece works by:
- Holding the Medication: The chamber holds the aerosol medication released from the inhaler, allowing the child to breathe it in slowly and deeply.
- Reducing Medication Waste: It helps to reduce the amount of medication that gets sprayed into the mouth or the air, ensuring more of the dose reaches the lungs.
- Easy Inhalation: The low-resistance valve makes it easier for children to inhale the medication, especially those with breathing difficulties.
Key Features and Advantages
Flow-Vu Indicator for Assurance
The AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu Youth Mouthpiece features a built-in Flow-Vu indicator. This visual cue moves as the child breathes, providing confirmation that the medication is being inhaled correctly and ensuring proper delivery.
Low-Resistance Valve and Chamber Design
Designed specifically for youths, the AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu includes a low-resistance valve. This feature helps to minimize the effort required to inhale the medication, making it easier for children, especially those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. The anti-static chamber design maximizes medication suspension time.
Youth-Friendly Design and Portability
The mouthpiece design and compact size make the AeroChamber Plus Flow-Vu easy for children to use and carry. The mouthpiece is designed for optimal comfort, while the chamber's small size makes it convenient for use at home or on the go.
