Chambers Overcome Coordination Issues1
Despite the continuous innovation of inhaler devices, patient technique has not improved over time.
Efficient Dosing is Essential
AEROCHAMBER PLUS® FLOW-VU® aVHC is designed to deliver the right dose, every time.2
Why? Because precise timing and delivery overcomes poor technique and ensures optimal treatment. Don’t let bad timing cause expensive medicine to go to waste.
Different chambers deliver different amounts of medication
Predicted delivery of medication to the lungs with the AEROCHAMBER PLUS® FLOW-VU® chamber was almost double that of the other chambers tested.
Why? Because the unique design of the AEROCHAMBER PLUS® FLOW-VU® chamber3 reduces medication loss to the throat and mouth, enhancing deep lung delivery and improving overall medication efficacy.
Consistency is Key
AEROCHAMBER PLUS® FLOW-VU® aVHC has over 40 years of improving patient outcomes.
Why? Because consistent, proven performance leads to better disease management. Chambers deliver different amounts of medication and should not be considered interchangeable.
Ensure inhaler medication gets to the lungs, where it’s needed.
Deep Lung Delivery is Crucial
AEROCHAMBER PLUS® FLOW-VU® aVHC delivers every puff deep to the lungs.
Why? Because proper lung penetration ensures maximum medication efficacy. Chambers aren’t interchangeable due to their unique design features.
Validated Safety and Efficacy
Our brand of chambers delivers the intended dose established by the pharmaceutical company.
Other chambers cannot make this claim.
Why? Because only the AEROCHAMBER PLUS® FLOW-VU® brand is specifically designed and tested to ensure consistent medication delivery, reducing variability and enhancing therapeutic outcomes.
People who use a chamber with their inhaler have been shown to have better asthma control.4
PRESCRIBE AS WRITTEN. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE.
Guidelines recommend use of chambers for people of all ages.
For patients who have trouble coordinating inhalation with device actuation, the use of a chamber (with a valve) may obviate this difficulty. The use of chambers is mandatory for infants and young children.
American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP)/American College of Allergy | Asthma & Immunology 2005
For patients prescribed pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) use of a chamber improves delivery and (for ICS) reduces the potential for local side-effects such as dysphonia and oral candidiasis.

Prescribe for all of your MDI patients
Prescribing the AEROCHAMBER PLUS® FLOW-VU® brand of chambers to both children and adults helps ensure they are receiving the full benefit from their inhaler.
Based on life cycle testing, we recommend replacing the device after 12 months of continuous use.5
