Product Overview

Why is an inhaler always together with an AEROCHAMBER* mini spacer?

Use of a spacer simplifies coordination of MDI actuation and inhalation, reducing aerosol losses with poor hand-breath coordination.²

Features

AERODOCK* Canister Port and a removable canister adaptor allows for use with all types of metered dose inhalers, including those with integrated dose counters
15mm connector fits standard endotracheal tubes
Separate exhalation channel minimizes dead space for low tidal volume patients
Single-patient use, multiple use (replace with the circuit)

How to Use

Ventilator Circuit

A 15 mm Endotracheal Tube Connector | B Wye Connector | C Canister Port | D Canister Adapter

Step 1:

Disconnect the wye from the endotracheal tube. Connect the 15 mm endotracheal tube connector (A) to the endotracheal tube. Connect the wye connector (B) to the wye. The arrow on the chamber must point towards the patient and the canister port (C) must be on top.
Step 2:

If using a GlaxoSmithKline† type MDI canister with integrated dose counter, remove the canister adapter (D) from the unit. For all other canisters leave the canister adapter (D) in the port.
Step 3:

Shake the MDI canister immediately before use as per the instructions supplied with the MDI. Insert the MDI canister into the canister port (C), being careful not to discharge the canister at this time. The integrated counter in GlaxoSmithKline† type MDI canister will be functional upon actuation.
Step 4:

Hold the canister in a vertical position. Prior to the beginning of inspiration, actuate the canister
Step 5:

Following treatment, remove the MDI canister from the chamber. Disconnect the chamber from the endotracheal tube and from the wye. Reconnect the wye to the endotracheal tube. Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Resuscitation Bag

A 15 mm Endotracheal Tube Connector | B Wye Connector | C Canister Port | D Canister Adapter

Step 1:

Attach the resuscitation bag to the wye connector (B).
Step 2:

Disconnect the wye from the endotracheal tube. Connect the 15 mm endotracheal tube connector (A) to the endotracheal tube. The arrow on the chamber must point towards the patient and the canister port (C) must be on top.
Step 3:

If using a GlaxoSmithKline† type MDI canister with integrated dose counter, remove the canister adapter (D) from the unit. For all other canisters leave the canister adapter (D) in the port.
Step 4:

Shake the MDI canister immediately before use as per the instructions supplied with the MDI. Insert the MDI canister into the canister port (C), being careful not to discharge the canister at this time. The integrated counter in GlaxoSmithKline† type MDI canister will be functional upon actuation.
Step 5:

Hold the canister in a vertical position. Actuate the canister and immediately deliver a manual breath.
Step 6:

Following treatment, remove the MDI canister from the chamber. Disconnect the chamber from the endotracheal tube. Reconnect the wye to the endotracheal tube. Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.
