Vitalograph AIM Aerosol Inhalation Monitor and Starter Pack
Improves inhaler technique for more effective medication administration.
8 out of 10 people use their inhalers incorrectly1. The Vitalograph AIM™ (Aerosol Inhalation Monitor) is designed to assist medical practitioners in training patients to use their inhaler correctly. Mastery of the correct technique will support more accurate drug delivery, helping patients get the full benefit of their medication.
The AIM validates good technique in the use of both DPI and MDI inhalers. Using a hygienic, single-use disposable inhaler simulator, AIM provides clear feedback and information to support correct technique including:
- Inspiratory acceleration at start of inspiration
- Timing of firing of MDI
- Inspiratory flow rate throughout inspiration
- Inhalation time within target flow range
- Breath-hold time at end of inhalation
