MATERIALS
OptiVent is made of impact-resistant polypropylene.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
100% of OptiVent units are quality-control tested at the factory before shipment.
HOW SUPPLIED
Each OptiVent unit is individually packaged in a tamper-evident bag along with
instructions for use.
VENTILATOR COMPATIBILITY
OptiVent makes more fine particle dose available to
the patient. In a comparative study, aerosol testing
demonstrated OptiVent consistently provided a greater
fine particle dose of albuterol, beclomethasone, and
cromolyn sodium.1
More fine particle dose output means better patient
outcomes. Clinical research showed a greater improvement
in airway resistance and total work of breathing with
OptiVent, as compared to another in-line spacer.2
Less fluid accumulation with OptiVent means a reduction
(or elimination) in the number of times vent circuits must
be opened for drainage. A study of water accumulation in
three in-line spacers concluded OptiVent accumulated a
clinically insignificant amount of fluid (under simulated
use conditions).2
OptiVent has a 22mm ID connector on the patient end, and a 22mm OD connector on the
ventilator end.
MDI CANISTER COMPATIBILITY
OptiVent can be used with most currently available MDI canisters. OptiVent is designed to
guide the canister stem into the delivery port and to structurally support it during
actuation.

OptiVent offers convenience to healthcare professionals.
OptiVent does not need to be manipulated or expanded to
be used in a ventilator circuit. It has the dual benefit of
minimal water collection and ease of use as compared to
other competitive products.3
