While AeroChamber is generally a safe medical device and is widely used to optimize inhaler medication delivery, there are some risks that patients should be aware of. Improper cleaning of the device may lead to bacterial growth, posing a risk of respiratory infections. Additionally, failure to replace the AeroChamber as recommended could compromise its effectiveness and patient health. In rare cases, some individuals may experience mild irritation or allergic reactions to materials used in the device, though it does not contain BPA, latex, phthalates, lead, or PVC.
The device is dishwasher safe for the top rack only and may be damaged if boiled or washed in the bottom rack of the dishwasher. Users should adhere to all maintenance and replacement guidelines, and consult their healthcare provider with any questions or concerns. Caretakers and/or providers should monitor for any signs of adverse reactions to ensure patient safety during use of AeroChamber in respiratory therapies.
AeroChamber is an anti-static valved holding-chamber medical device designed to assist and enhance the effectiveness of inhaled MDI medications for patients with asthma, COPD, or other respiratory conditions that require a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). Its benefits include improved drug delivery to the lungs, reduced side effects, and increased convenience by helping users coordinate inhalation with medication release. The device also minimizes the need for precise timing during inhalation, making it particularly useful for children or those who experience difficulty coordinating breath and medication actuation.
