AirChamber AirChamber Infant Inhalation Chamber

What is the purpose of the AirChamber Nourrisson Inhalation Chamber?

The AirChamber Nourrisson Inhalation Chamber is a remarkable innovation in the field of respiratory health for toddlers. Specifically designed to facilitate the administration of aerosolized medication to children aged 1-3, this inhalation chamber combines ergonomics and technology to ensure optimal treatment delivery. Its 218 ml volume and carefully calculated dimensions optimize the size of the chamber, facilitating inhalation of the finest drug particles crucial to effective treatment of respiratory conditions in infants.

The AirChamber Nourrisson is distinguished by its drug flow rate, which is less sensitive to technical variations in the patient, such as the flow rate and the delay between activation of the metered-dose inhaler and the start of inhalation. This means that even if the young patient's inhalation technique is not perfectly mastered, the medication will be delivered efficiently and consistently. The transparent mouthpiece and innovative locking mechanism enable caregivers to monitor the administration of the medication, ensuring that the treatment is correctly received.

The patented valve system plays a crucial role in preventing exhaled breath from entering the chamber, while effectively ventilating exhaled air around the valve. This minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and enables easy, regular cleaning of the mouthpiece and valve, essential for maintaining optimum hygiene.

The unidirectional silicone valve, with its improved texture and sensitivity to the lowest pediatric flow rates, ensures smooth, efficient drug delivery. Its ease of cleaning and durability help prolong the life of the inhalation chamber, offering excellent value for money.

Removable masks, available in several sizes, are another distinctive feature of the AirChamber Nourrisson. They enable an optimal, comfortable fit, essential for effective medication delivery to infants and young children. This adaptability ensures that each inhalation is as effective as possible, maximizing the therapeutic benefits of treatment.

How do I use this inhalation chamber?

Using the AirChamber Infant Inhalation Chamber is designed to be simple and safe, ensuring that your child receives his or her treatment effectively and comfortably. Here's how to proceed:

1. Assemble the inhalation chamber by attaching the mouthpiece and mask (if required) to the main chamber. Make sure all components are securely in place.
2. Shake the prescribed Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI) and insert it into the opening at the rear of the chamber.
3. Gently place the mask over the child's face, covering both nose and mouth, or ask the child to bite the mouthpiece if you're not using a mask.
4. Activate the inhaler to release a dose of medication into the chamber, then encourage the child to breathe normally through the mouth. The transparency of the mouthpiece allows you to check that the valve is working properly, indicating that the medication is being inhaled.
5. Hold the position for 5-10 breaths to ensure that the child inhales the full dose of medication.
6. Then disassemble the chamber for thorough cleaning, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Adherence to these steps is crucial to the efficacy of the treatment and the child's safety. In addition, special attention must be paid to regular cleaning of the inhalation chamber to prevent the risk of infection.
