which includes the breath-enhanced
valve system
AP
. All common medication for inhalation
therapy can be nebulised effectively.
Advanced treatment
This treatment option allows the maximum amount of
medication to be delivered thus reaching the respiratory
capacity of each patient. The valve system optimally
adapts the flow of medication during inhalation
AP
-A,
reducing medication loss during exhalation
AP
-B.
Use the breath-enhanced valve system (synchronized
with breathing) to optimize the therapeutic effects of the
medication and to get the maximal benefit.
Mount the membrane on the valve-holder and use the
mouthpiece with expiratory valve
