Optichamber Diamond Holding Chamber

Product Review (submitted on April 7, 2015):

from KMC, Chicago, Ill. As an emergency department nurse for over 30 years, my first experience with an MDI spacer was its use with pediatric asthma patients. That alone should tell the reader how easy a delivery chamber is to use! I recently had pulmonary function tests, and the therapist showed me how to use an inhaler alone, then the inhaler with a delivery chamber. It was so much easier to form a seal around the chamber mouthpiece, than around the inhaler mouthpiece itself. The whistle sound that this Optichamber makes if I inhale too fast is an immedidate reminder to adjust my inspiration rate. Although the chamber is not as small as the size of an inhaler alone, I carry both in my purse. When I need to use a "rescue" inhaler I want to be sure the medication is delivered properly, with the best results possible. I believe this Optichamber does just that.
