For whom is the Philips OptiChamber Diamond Holding Chamber suitable?

For adults, children and babies who use a metered dose inhaler / puffer and want to inhale more effectively and comfortably.

Inhaling medication more effectively with a holding chamber

With a metered dose inhaler, you inhale a dosed amount of medication which is delivered to the lungs. A metered dose inhaler can be used with or without a holding chamber. If you don’t use a holding chamber, the medication often comes out of the inhaler too quickly. As a consequence, medicine can end up in the mouth, throat and stomach, which can cause side effects. The OptiChamber Diamond holding chamber from Philips ensures that more medicine reaches the lungs. Thanks to the OptiChamber Diamond, the percentage of aerosol that is delivered to the lungs is twice as high compared to using an inhaler without a holding chamber!

More comfort with the OptiChamber Diamond

The inside of the OptiChamber Diamond is made of anti-static material, so that the aerosol remains longer in the holding chamber. This gives you more time to inhale. The inhalation valve has a low resistance, making inhalation even easier. Ideal for children and older people! The white exhalation valve on the top rises when you exhale. This allows you to see when you breathe in and out (or when your child breathes in and out) through the holding chamber. Are you breathing in too fast? Then you can hear a whistle. This way, you can further improve your inhalation technique.

A sophisticated design

The metered dose inhaler ‘adapter’ is flexible. This makes the OptiChamber Diamond compatible with all standard metered dose inhalers. The bottom is flat for better grip and safe storage. Thanks to its compact size, the holding chamber is ideal to take with you, for example to work or to school. The mouthpiece is stepped and has 2 sections with a different diameter: the front section has a smaller diameter than the other section. The smaller section is suitable for children, the larger section for older children and adults.

The OptiChamber Diamond is easy to disassemble and clean. The manufacturer recommends doing this every week. You can find the cleaning instructions in the user manual. It’s recommended to replace this product every year.

LiteTouch mask available separately

The Philips OptiChamber Diamond comes standard with a mouthpiece. Some people can’t use the mouthpiece properly and need a mask. This is especially the case with babies and children. The holding chamber is compatible with the Philips LiteTouch mask (available in 3 sizes). This mask has a soft membrane that fits perfectly on the skin. As a result, more medicine is delivered to the lungs and you’ll have less leaks. The mask is placed on the mouthpiece of the holding chamber.
