What is Aerochamber Plus Flow Vu?
Aerochamber Plus Flow Vu is a prescription valved holding chamber for patients who lack the ability or coordination to inhale metered-dose inhaler medications correctly. Valved holding chambers (VHC) are open tubes that extend the distance from the metered dose inhaler to the mouth, but they have a one-way valve to prevent the patient from exhaling into the device.
The purpose of a VHC is to ensure that inhaled medication is delivered to the lungs, reducing the amount of drug that is simply deposited in the mouth. This both increases the effect of the inhaled medication and reduces unwanted side effects due to insufficient or overly rapid inhalation of the aerosol.
A face mask is applied to one end of Aerochamber Plus Flow Vu and placed over the patient's mouth and nose. The metered-dose inhaler is attached to one end of the holding chamber and, as the aerosol is injected into the device, the patient slowly inhales the aerosol through the mask on the other end.
What are the side effects of Aerochamber Plus Flow Vu?
Aerochamber Plus Flow Vu is a medical device that allows for more controlled inhalation of metered-dose inhaler aerosol medications. The only side effects of this medical device are when bacteria forms on the inside surfaces or mask, raising the risk of mouth, respiratory, and other infections. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and regularly clean and disinfect Aerochamber Plus Flow Vu between uses.
