Vitalograph AIM Aerosol Inhalation Monitor

8 out of 10 people use their inhalers incorrectly¹. The Vitalograph AIM™ (Aerosol Inhalation Monitor) was developed to help healthcare professionals train patients in the correct use of their inhaler. Mastering the correct inhalation technique ensures more precise distribution of the medication within the airways and helps patients benefit from the full efficacy of their medication.

• Clear feedback and instructions for both patient and trainer to improve inhalation technique
• Helps identify the most suitable inhaler type for the patient
• Easy to use, hygienic, and cost-effective
• Reinforces the correct technique so it can be transferred to the use of the "real" inhaler
• Suitable for MDIs ("slow and steady") and DPIs ("fast and deep")
• Better disease management through mastering the correct inhalation technique

The AIM ensures good inhalation technique when using DPI and MDI inhalers.
Using a hygienic single-use simulator, the AIM provides clear feedback and information to improve each element of the inhalation technique:

• Accelerated inhalation at the start of inhalation
• Triggering time with an MDI simulator
• Inhalation flow rate during inhalation
• Inhalation time at optimal inhalation flow rate
• Breath-hold time after inhalation

The Vitalograph AIM is an ideal tool to facilitate conversations with patients about optimizing medication intake, as it shows how deeply the medication is inhaled into the lungs. The partial processes of the inhalation, which are difficult to observe with the naked eye, are highlighted, and the distribution of the active substance within the airways is visually represented on the device.
