Aerochamber

AeroChamber is a clinically engineered inhaler spacer device designed to improve the delivery, absorption and effectiveness of asthma and respiratory medications. By helping users inhale medication more efficiently, AeroChamber reduces drug wastage, improves lung deposition and supports better long-term breathing control.

What Is an AeroChamber?

An AeroChamber is a type of inhaler spacer used alongside pressurised metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs). It holds the medication inside a chamber for a few seconds, allowing the user to breathe it in more slowly and deeply. This reduces medication hitting the back of the throat and ensures more of the dose reaches the lungs. AeroChambers are recommended for both children and adults managing asthma, wheezing or chronic respiratory conditions covered in the asthma medication and respiratory devices ranges.

Key Benefits & Features of AeroChamber

• Improved lung deposition: Helps more medication reach the lungs where it is needed.
• Reduces inhaler technique errors: Ideal for children, new inhaler users, or those with coordination issues.
• Minimises side effects: Reduces throat irritation and oral deposition from inhaled corticosteroids.
• Anti-static chamber: Ensures consistent and reliable medication delivery.
• Flow indicators for children: Helps parents verify correct inhalation technique.
• Multiple mask sizes: Infant, child and adult options for personalised fit.

Why AeroChamber Is Important in Respiratory Care

A large percentage of inhaler users struggle with timing, coordination or breath-hold techniques, meaning much of the medication is lost before reaching the lungs. AeroChambers eliminate this problem by letting medication sit in the chamber temporarily, giving the user time to inhale properly. This improves control of asthma symptoms, reduces flare-ups and maximises the benefit of medications found in categories like asthma medication and respiratory relief.

How to Use an AeroChamber

1. Shake your inhaler and insert it into the back of the AeroChamber.
2. Place the mask over the nose and mouth or seal the mouthpiece between the lips.
3. Press the inhaler once to release the medication into the chamber.
4. Breathe in slowly and deeply. With masks, ensure 5–6 breaths are taken.
5. Hold breath for a few seconds (if possible) to allow medication absorption.
6. Clean the chamber weekly with warm soapy water and air-dry.

Expert Respiratory Insight

Studies show that only 20–40% of medication from a standard pMDI reaches the lungs without a spacer. Incorrect inhaler technique is a leading cause of poor asthma control. AeroChambers significantly increase medication deposition, making inhalers more effective and reducing the need for higher doses. They are especially beneficial for children, older adults and anyone with difficulty timing inhaler puffs.

Users who also experience nasal blockage or congestion may benefit from supportive products found in nasal congestion and children’s cough & cold categories.

AeroChamber FAQs

Who should use an AeroChamber?

Anyone using a pMDI inhaler—especially children, older adults or those who struggle with coordination—can benefit from a spacer such as AeroChamber.

Does the AeroChamber work with all inhalers?

It is compatible with most pressurised metered-dose inhalers, including common asthma preventers and relievers.

Can AeroChambers reduce side effects?

Yes. By reducing throat and mouth deposition, they lower the risk of hoarseness and oral thrush associated with inhaled corticosteroids.

Is an AeroChamber suitable for babies?

Yes. The infant mask version is designed specifically for babies with small airways and limited breath control.

How often should the AeroChamber be cleaned?

It should be washed weekly with warm, soapy water and left to air-dry to preserve the anti-static coating.

How do I know if my child is inhaling correctly?

The Flow-Vu indicator on certain AeroChamber models moves with each breath, helping caregivers check technique.

Can I share an AeroChamber with someone else?

No. For hygiene and infection safety, each person should have their own device.

How long does an AeroChamber last?

Most experts recommend replacing it every 6–12 months, or sooner if damaged.

Does the AeroChamber help with wheezing?

Yes. By improving medication delivery, it supports better management of wheezing and respiratory tightness.

Is a spacer needed with every inhaler?

Spacers are only used with pMDI inhalers, not dry powder inhalers (DPIs).

Can I use AeroChamber during respiratory infections?

Yes. It can help improve the delivery of reliever medications during flare-ups caused by colds or viral infections.

Does the mask need to be tight?

The mask should form a complete seal to ensure proper inhalation, but it should not be uncomfortably tight.

Can an AeroChamber improve asthma control?

Yes. For many patients, improved inhaler technique leads to fewer symptoms, fewer reliever doses and better long-term control.

What category should I explore for additional respiratory support?

You may find complementary products in respiratory devices or asthma medication.
