An aerosol spacer or valved holding chamber is an accessory used with a compatible pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI). It temporarily holds aerosol after actuation so inhalation can follow without requiring exact actuation-breath coordination.

The chamber separates inhaler actuation from the start of inhalation. This can make pMDI technique easier, especially when exact actuation-breath coordination is difficult. Correct inhaler fit, timing, mask seal and breathing technique still matter.
The current range is configured in Small, Medium and Large mask sizes. Select the size according to actual fit and the current supplied product instructions rather than relying on an unverified age cut-off.
The mask should fit over the nose and mouth according to the current product instructions. A poor seal may reduce aerosol delivery. Use the current IFU and healthcare-professional or institutional guidance when fit is uncertain.
Universal compatibility is not assumed. Confirm that the specific pMDI fits and is intended for use with the supplied chamber according to the current spacer and inhaler instructions.
The older website contained an anti-static statement, but the current catalogue evidence used for this release does not establish that feature. Request current product-specific documentation if anti-static construction is a procurement requirement.
Yes. The current product catalogue publishes the 175 mL chamber as single-patient use. Follow the supplied instructions for cleaning, storage and replacement.
Disassemble, clean, dry and reassemble the chamber and mask according to the current supplied instructions. Do not assume boiling, autoclaving, dishwasher cleaning or a particular disinfectant is permitted unless the applicable IFU states it.
A spacer is used with a compatible pMDI; the inhaler generates the aerosol and the chamber supports inhalation technique. A nebulizer generates aerosol from compatible liquid medication or solution using a compressor/jet or mesh mechanism.
Confirm mask size, quantity, delivery destination, current pMDI compatibility, product label/IFU, material statement, legal-manufacturer or conformity documentation when required, packaging and any tender-specific condition. Use the exact selected child SKU for the required mask size.
