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:
Includes starter pack containing 5 generic MDI, 5 generic DPI, and a placebo canister.
Includes 30-day money-back guarantee upon product registration.

The Vitalograph AIM is an ideal tool to facilitate conversations around medication adherence with patients because it shows how far medication is inhaled into the lungs. The parts of the inhalation process which are difficult to observe by eye are highlighted and a visual reference of the drug delivery is displayed on the device.

The AIM is an effective training tool which detects and measures the elements required for correct inhaler technique such as actuation, inspiratory flow rate and breath hold time and compares these with known requirements for effective drug delivery.
The AIM will give either a good, poor or fail indicator, showing which element of the technique caused the problem (if applicable).
