IndicationsÂ
Aerochamber Child Medium Mask is a valved holding chamber device used with commonly prescribed metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) and soft mist inhalers to enhance inhalation and ensure efficient medication delivery to the lungs.Â

Moreover, Aerochamber Child Medium Mask features a dedicated flow-vu inhalation indicator that synchronizes with the user’s breath, providing visual confirmation of proper usage and medication delivery.Â
