Aerochamber Plus Flow-vu Anti-Static Spacer Device

 

The Aerochamber Plus Flow-vu is an inhaler spacer designed to improve the delivery of medication from your pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI). This anti-static spacer device helps ensure more medication reaches your lungs rather than staying in your mouth or throat. The Flow-vu indicator provides visual feedback to help you coordinate your breathing with medication delivery.

This spacer device is suitable for use with most standard pMDI inhalers and can be used by adults and children. The anti-static chamber reduces medication build-up on the walls, ensuring consistent dose delivery. You can find this product alongside other respiratory support items in our first aid collection.

 

How the Anti-Static Chamber Works

 

When you use a standard inhaler without a spacer, much of the medication can stick to your mouth and throat instead of reaching your lungs. The aerochamber spacer device creates a holding chamber that allows the medication particles to slow down and become smaller, making them easier to inhale deeply into your lungs.

The anti-static properties prevent medication from clinging to the chamber walls, ensuring you receive the full dose prescribed by your doctor. The Flow-vu indicator moves when you breathe in correctly, helping you achieve the proper inhalation technique.

 

Who Should Use This Spacer Device

 

This spacer device is particularly beneficial for people who have difficulty coordinating their breathing with inhaler activation. It's suitable for patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other respiratory conditions requiring inhaled medication.

• Adults and children who struggle with inhaler technique
• Patients experiencing throat irritation from direct inhaler use
• Those prescribed high-dose inhaled corticosteroids
• People who want to maximise medication delivery to their lungs

 

Benefits of Anti-Static Technology

 

The anti-static coating prevents electrostatic charge build-up inside the chamber, which can cause medication particles to stick to the walls. This technology ensures more consistent dose delivery compared to standard plastic spacers that may accumulate static charge over time.

Regular spacers can lose up to 50% of medication to the chamber walls due to static attraction. The anti-static properties of this device help maintain medication availability for inhalation, potentially improving treatment outcomes.

 

Cleaning and Maintenance Requirements

 

You should clean your spacer device weekly with warm soapy water and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using detergents or disinfectants that may damage the anti-static coating. Replace the device every 12 months or as recommended by your healthcare provider to maintain optimal performance.

Store the spacer in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight. Check regularly for cracks or damage that could affect the seal with your inhaler.
