Features of Respironics OptiChamber® Advantage Valved Holding Chambers
Optimal Performance: independent aerosol laboratory research confirms that the OptiChamber Advantage delivers a high-quality fine particle medicine dose across a wide spectrum of flow rates with a variety of drugs
Large Volume Chamber: OptiChamber's larger size allows more fine particles to be available for inhalation and reduces the sensitivity to users technique (such as flow rate and delay between medication release and inhalation)
Clear, High-impact Polycarbonate Chamber: constructed of high-quality theromoplastics it is durable and designed to withstand multiple cleanings
Patented Valve System: with multiple exhaust ports prevents exhaled breath from entering the chamber and vents the exhaled breath around the circumference of the valve
Replaceable 1-way Silicone Valve: is sensitive enough to respond to the lowest of pediatric flow rates
Clear Mouthpiece: allows monitoring of drug release and inhalation times and the circular shape encourages proper mouth placement
High-Flow Warning Whistle: encourages proper inhalation speed and is permanently attached so it won't dislodge
MDI Adapter: accommodates a wide variety of CFC and HFA MDI inhalers and provides a snug fit for proper alignment to reduce drug loss against chamber walls
Detachable Pediatric Masks: small and medium sized child masks are available for use with the OptiChamber
Quality Assurance: 100% of OptiChamber units are quality control inspected at the factory before shipment.
Durable and Easy to Clean: dishwasher safe; the mouthpiece and valve are removable to allow for regular and thorough cleaning
Life Span: should last up to 1 year with proper care (i.e., cleaning and routine valve replacement every 6 months)

How it Works:
Your Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) releases a cloud of medicine into the holding chamber. The valved holding chamber contains the medicine while you inhale it in one or two slow, deep breaths. The special valve is designed to open upon inhalation and close on exhalation to contain the medicine in the holding chamber. The use of a valved holding chamber with your MDI prevents problems with timing and coordination of your inhale breath and release of medicine. It makes inhalation easier and reduces coughing.
If you don't use your MDI in the right way, a lot of your medicine is wasted and ends up in your mouth, throat, and stomach or in the air. A valved holding chamber targets the medicine to your lungs reducing this waste and also helps prevent yeast infections in your mouth (know as thrush).
Product Usage:
Plastic Holding Chambers naturally have an electrostatic charge that attracts and traps aerosol particles onto the walls of the chamber reducing the amount of medication available for inhalation. For most efficient use, reduce static charge before treatment.
To reduce static charge the patient has 2 options:
1. attach the Optichamber to MDI and then prime MDI. This will coat the inside of the chamber 2. wash the chamber in hot soapy water, rinse well and let air dry
