AeroChamber Plus® Z Stat® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber (AVHC) with Medium Pediatric Mask for smaller children, has earned wide acclaim by patients, caregivers and the medical community at large as one of the most widely accepted spacers on the market today. Used in conjunction with a pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI or just MDI), the AeroChamber Z Stat AVHC is an aerosol delivery device designed to make respiratory medications even more effective. Using just an MDI inhaler alone means more medication collects in the mouth and throat, which not only brings the potential for discomforting side effects, but also means less medicine reaches the lungs.
In contrast, the AeroChamber Z Stat AVHC maximizes delivery of medication to the lungs by separating small medication particles from large. As the patient inhales, the smaller particles float out of the chamber's one-way valve into the respiratory tract where they easily reach areas of the lungs that need it most. The Z Stat chamber holds any remaining small particles not inhaled the first time, which allows the patient to take more than one breath per puff of medicine administered. This is especially helpful for children or others who cannot achieve a high peak expiratory flow (PEF), and assures the maximum amount of prescribed medicine gets to the lungs for optimum benefit. This model comes with a built-in ComfortSeal® mask, which makes it easier for children to take their treatments. Suitable for smaller children. Box contains one (1) AeroChamber Plus® Z Stat® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber with Medium Pediatric Mask.
The AeroChamber Z Stat AVHC also comes in an adult-size model with Mouthpiece (no mask). This choice is ideal for those familiar with or who can learn the techniques and coordination skills required for effective inhaler treatments using a mouthpiece. Learning is easy with a built-in whistle that sounds an alert if you inhale too quickly. (Sold separately.)
Why AeroChamber Plus® Z Stat®?
- Anti-Static Chamber:
- Unlike static-prone chambers, where static-charged aerosol particles attach to the chamber walls, the Z Stat's anti-static chamber minimizes static charge, increasing aerosol suspension time within the chamber and making more medication available.
- The clear polymer chamber allows you (or a provider) to see the medication from the MDI inhaler enter the chamber. A provider can also watch the chamber's valve open and close to ensure proper breathing technique is being followed.
- Flow Dynamic Valve and Baffle System:
- Ensures only the right-sized particles exit the chamber through inhalation
- Is low resistance, opening easily to allow patient to inhale without difficulty
- Is a one-way valve that:
- Allows patient to inhale smaller medication particles for targeted and fast delivery to the lungs.
- Prevents patient from exhaling into the chamber, which leaves any remaining medication in the chamber available for the patient's next breath.
- Reinforced Universal pMDI Adapter – Fits most commonly prescribed pMDIs, with easy insertion and removal.
- ComfortSeal® Mask:
- Makes it easier for children to take their treatments
- Fits snugly, yet comfortably on child's face
- Less technique dependent than a mouthpiece
- Secure seal maximizes drug delivery and reduces leakage
- Exhalation valve:
- low resistance, for easy, unrestrained breathing
- directs exhaled medication away from face and eyes
- Made of soft, flexible silicone
- Latex free
- FLOWSIGnal® Whistle:
- After MDI has been depressed, sounds a whistle to alert if you're inhaling too fast.
- Helps to promote proper breathing technique.
- Extensively Tested with Medications:
- In addition to being tested in vitro with all commonly prescribed pMDI medications for respiratory therapy, the AeroChamber Z Stat AVHC has also been extensively tested in vivo with Floventi, Alvesco, QVAR, Serevent, and Albuterol.
