OptiChamber® ADVANTAGE
Valved Holding Chamber For Use With Metered Dose
Inhalers (MDI)
Respironics' OptiChamber ADVANTAGE makes available
more of the smaller medication particles - those
that can reach deep into the peripheral airways.
OptiChamber ADVANTAGE has been clinically demonstrated
to provide rapid lung function improvement when
compared to drug delivered via jet nebulizer and
a large volume (750ml) spacer.
Designed to Optimize Drug Delivery
- OptiChamber ADVANTAGE has 50% more volume
than the leading valved holding chamber.
- Clear locking mouthpiece allows you to see
the valve move for accurate timing of drug actuation
and easily disassembles and reassembles for
cleaning (will not loosen).
- New star-cut blue replaceable valve allows
for better retention and flexibility to fit
larger MDI's.
- All parts are dishwasher-safe except the
valve and face mask.
- Replacement parts available (small, medium,
large masks, one-way valve).
- Important

Life Span: With proper care, OptiChamber ADVANTAGE
should last at least two years.
Why should I use a holding chamber with my inhaler?
When an inhaler is used alone, medicine ends up
in the mouth, throat, stomach and lungs, which may
cause unpleasant taste and side effects. When an
inhaler is used with OptiChamber ADVANTAGE, more
medicine is delivered to the lungs, which means
more rapid lung function.
