Helps deliver inhaler medicine to the lungs¹.

Medical device

Intended use: This chamber is intended to be used by patients who are prescribed a metered dose inhaler or soft mist inhaler, to deliver the aerosol medication from the inhaler to your lungs. 

The clinical benefit of chambers is to improve the coordination of inhaling your medication. This is achieved by holding the medication, allowing you more time to inhale while filtering out the larger particles that would not reach your lungs. 

If you have any concerns regarding the use of the chamber or its delivery of your inhaler medication, please consult a healthcare professional. 

BEFORE EACH USE
