TipsHaler^® valved holding chamber is a class 1 or a class 2 medical device according to the regulations of the countries where it is available.

It was developed by Laboratoire OptimHal^®’s research department, which is ISO 13485: 2016 and ISO 9001: 2015 certified. TipsHaler^® is manufactured in an ISO 13485: 2016 and ISO 9001: 2015 certified French factory.

Proven efficiency

La chambre d'inhalation TipsHaler® par OptimHal®

Several studies have been carried out to assess the efficiency of the TipsHaler^® valved holding chamber with most of the available metered dose inhalers delivered drugs.

The TipsHaler^® valved holding chamber significantly reduces drug sendiment in the throat and in the trachea. Which help reducing potential local side effects.
The TipsHaler^® valved holding chamber increases the drug deposition in the “deep” lung, where the drug is needed.

IsoBreath^® : An innovative patented valve system

La valve Isobreath®

The Isobreath^® inspiratory valve (international patents apply is a conical anti-reversal valve which provides a progressive calibrated resistance to inspiration to promote deep pulmonary distribution of fine particles and to minimize their impaction into the oropharyngeal cavity.

A conical valve designed to modulate the respiratory flow

Decreasing the inhalation speed rate of the particles improves the deep pulmonary deposition of the drug.

Thanks to its distinctive shape, the Isobreath^® valve is designed to avoid any resistance to the toddlers’ low flow thanks to its slight opening at rest and is designed to progressively oppose significant resistance to high inspiratory flows.

The expiratory valve: a visual control

TipsHaler^® is equipped with a visible and removable exhalation expiratory valve, that allows visual control of the drug inhalation. This valve prevents the inhalation of outside air and decreases minimises the number of breaths required to inhale the drug medicine. It is essential for effective use, especially for very young user.

TipsHaler® capte et bloque les plus grosses particules

The TipsHaler^® valved holding chamber offers optimised shape and material for better selection of fine particles and better pulmonary distribution of the medication.

The bowl shape at the front of TipsHaler^® combined with a better control of the electrostatic charge of the material, allows to capture and block in the chamber the larger particles that would have impact the mouth and throat. These particles can potentially cause side effects and have no therapeutic effect. These characteristics therefore allow for a better selection of the finest particles that will go to treat the deep lung.

OrHal^® : a new innovative partitioned inhalation mask

OrHal^®, the first pediatric and adult partitioned inhalation mask was developed to optimized inhaled treatments.

From 12 months old, the nose gradually becomes efficient as a filter against the inhalation of foreign particles thanks to the ciliary system and nasal mucus. To ensure a good treatment the efficiency of the treatment, it is essential that the inhalation is done through the mouth. OrHal^® is the first inhalation mask designed with an isolated cavity for the mouth of adults and children over 1 year old.

Improve/Favor oral inhalation for children over 1 year

Thanks to its flexible and airtight partition between the nose and the mouth, OrHal^® avoids nasal inhalation and favors oral inhalation. It allows better pulmonary deposition of the drug by preventing it from being trapped by the nose.

Optimizes treatment intake

The partition of the OrHal^® mask reduces the dead volume* of the mask and allows a better use of the aerosol in the inhalation chamber.

Facilitates treatment administration

Thanks to its flexibility and transparency, OrHal^® facilitates the positioning on the face. A Proper positioning improves the sealing and limits the leak on the face, which limits the inhalation of air without medication.

* The dead volume of the inhalation chamber is the drug-free air between the inspiratory valve and the face that is inhaled before the medication.
