8 out of 10 people use their inhalers incorrectly1. The Vitalograph AIM™ (Aerosol Inhalation Monitor) is designed to help healthcare professionals train patients on the correct use of their inhaler. Mastering the correct inhalation technique ensures a more precise distribution of the drug within the airways and helps patients to benefit from the full effectiveness of their medication.
The AIM ensures good inhalation technique when using DPI and MDI inhalers. Using a hygienic disposable simulator, the AIM provides clear feedback and information to improve each element of inhalation technique:
- Accelerated inspiration at the start of inhalation
- Time of triggering on an MDI simulator
- Inhalation flow rate during inhalation
- Inhalation time at optimal inhalation flow rate< /li>
- Breath hold time after inhalation
The Vitalograph AIM is an ideal tool to facilitate discussions with patients about optimizing medication intake as it shows how deep into the lungs the medication is being inhaled. The parts of the inhalation process that are difficult to observe with the naked eye are highlighted and the distribution of the active substance within the airways is displayed visually on the device.
