An Important Advancement in Holding Chamber for
Mechanical Ventilators.!!!

AeroChamber® MVHC is a holding chamber for ventilator circuits, whereby Doctors can provide aerosolisation from MDI (Metered Dose Inhalers) through the ventilator circuits. It is proved by several clinical trials that use of Holding chambers with an MDI delivers greater percentage of aerosol drugs to targeted sites/lungs.

AeroChamber® MVHC is an Effective solution for Aerosol Delivery with an MDI and has applications in:

• The AeroChamber®  MVHC is a proven standard for the delivery of aerosol medications to mechanically ventilated patients. Using a pediatric ventilator circuit and an HFA Salbutamol, determined that the AeroChamber MVHC delivered 27.2% of the emitted dose vs. 5.4% for the non-chamber device

• The simplicity of the system results in less time and costs vs. standard nebulizer systems for patients of all ages.

• Designed for use with patients on mechanical ventilation via resuscitation bag or ventilator circuit through a tracheal or endo-tracheal tube.
  
• Connector allows for easy attachment to either an 
  endotracheal or tracheostomy tube
• It can be used in the inspiratory limb of a circuit or connected directly to the Endo-Tracheal tube

• See through chamber facilitates visualization of the aerosol spray and ensure proper usage of medicine.
