How does Aerochamber Plus work?
AeroChamber is a spacer device that makes it easier to get more medication from an inhaler into the lungs. It can be used all the time, or if asthma is playing up a bit. AeroChamber inhaler maximizes delivery of medication to the lungs by separating the small medication particles from large. As the patient inhales, the smaller particles float out of the one-way valve of the chamber into the respiratory tract where they easily reach areas of the lungs that need it most. The Monaghan inhaler spacer 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 to those who cannot achieve a high peak expiratory flow (PEF), and assures the maximum amount of prescribed medicine gets into the lungs for optimum benefit.
- EZ Flow Exhalation Valve: Minimizes re-breathing and directs exhaled flow away from the face of the patient.
- Anti-Static Chamber: Anti-static polymer chamber minimizes static charge which maximizes performance with pMDI formulations.
- Low Resistance Inhalation Valve: Lower resistance valve requires less effort to open by low flow patients.
- Universal Backpiece: Fits all commonly prescribed Metered Dose Inhalers.
- FlowSignal Whistle: Optional FlowSignal whistle alerts patients to breathe slowly.

Monaghan AeroChamber Plus Z STAT Inhaler Spacer FAQ’s
What is the purpose of using a spacer with an inhaler?
Inhalers spray the medicine into your lungs, allowing you to breathe it deeply. A holding chamber, is an attachment that should always be used with your inhaler. The spacer keeps the medicine in place, making it easier to inhale.
Can I use brown inhaler without spacer?
If you don't use a spacer with your inhaler, most of the medication will end up in your mouth or stomach, rather than in your lungs, where it works best.
What is the difference between a spacer and a holding chamber?
When you take a breath in your medicine, the smaller droplets can move easier and deeper into your lungs. A spacer with a one-way valve at the mouthpiece is known as a valved holding chamber. More than just "space" between your mouth and the medicine is provided by this device.
Can I drink water after using an inhaler?
If you are using a corticosteroid inhaler, gargle and rinse your mouth with water. The water should not be swallowed. Swallowing the water increases the likelihood of the medicine entering your bloodstream. It's possible that you'll experience more side effects as a result of this.
How often should an AeroChamber be washed?
The flow indicator valve of the Aerochamber needs to be cleaned at least once a week. The mouthpiece needs to be cleaned once a week.
How often should an AeroChamber be replaced?
