The Monaghan AeroChamber Plus Z STAT Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber is an innovative medical device designed to optimize the delivery of aerosol medications from metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) to the lungs. Its primary function is to help users, especially those with coordination difficulties or shallow breathing patterns, receive the full benefit of their inhaled medication. The "Z STAT" feature signifies its anti-static properties, which are crucial in preventing medication from sticking to the chamber walls, ensuring more of the drug is inhaled.
Key Features:
•Anti-Static Chamber: The proprietary Z STAT anti-static polymer material minimizes static charge within the chamber. This reduces medication adherence to the chamber walls, maximizing the amount of medication available for inhalation and ensuring consistent dosing.
•Optimized Aerosol Delivery: The aerodynamic design of the chamber, combined with an innovative valve system, helps to separate and filter out larger aerosol particles. This ensures that smaller, more respirable particles are delivered to the lungs, enhancing therapeutic effectiveness.
•Low Resistance Inhalation Valve: Designed with an extra-sensitive, low-resistance valve, this chamber makes it easier for individuals with shallow or low-volume breathing patterns to inhale their medication effectively. This is particularly beneficial for children and the elderly.
•Universal MDI Adapter: The chamber features a universal adapter that is compatible with most commonly prescribed metered-dose inhalers, providing versatility and ease of use for various medications.
•One-Way Valve: This valve prevents patients from exhaling back into the chamber. This ensures that the medication remains within the chamber and is available for the next inhalation, promoting proper technique and maximizing drug delivery.
•FLOWSIGnal® Whistle (Optional): Some models include an optional FLOWSIGnal® whistle that alerts the user if they are inhaling too quickly, encouraging a slow and deep breath for optimal medication delivery.
•Clear Chamber: The transparent material of the chamber allows users and caregivers to easily see the medication being released from the inhaler and confirm proper activation and inhalation technique.
•ComfortSeal® Mask (Available with Mask Models): For patients who find it difficult to use a mouthpiece (such as young children), models with ComfortSeal masks are available in various sizes. These masks are made of soft, flexible silicone to provide a comfortable and secure seal, minimizing leakage and maximizing drug delivery.
•Easy to Clean and Maintain: The AeroChamber Plus Z STAT is designed for single-patient use and is easy to clean, often being dishwasher safe (top rack), ensuring hygiene and convenience.
•Durable and Safe Materials: Constructed from durable, shatterproof plastic and not made with BPA, natural rubber latex, phthalates, lead, or PVC, ensuring patient safety and product longevity.
•Reduces Oral Deposition: By holding the medication in the chamber, it reduces the amount of drug deposited in the mouth and throat, which can minimize potential side effects like bad taste or hoarseness
