The intuitive design of the Philips Respironics OptiChamber Diamond VHC (valved holding chamber) allows more respirable drug to be delivered, makes it easier to use, and increases patient compliance. The clear, anti-static chamber and a low resistance expiratory valve help measure breath count and breath hold. For use with inhaled steroids and long-acting and rescue pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) medications. Potentially more respirable drug delivered with the OptiChamber Diamond than with a pMDI alone. With quality and reliability you can trust from Philips Respironics. Replace after one year.  Box contains one (1) OptiChamber Diamond VHC (single-patient use).
