AeroHippus with Flow-VU Indicator
The AeroHippus is an aid that enables the inhalation of aerosols in horses. The aerosol chamber is used together with dosage aerosols from human medicine to provide supportive therapy for acute or chronic inflammatory respiratory diseases (damping) in horses.
It is not possible for animals to inhale the metered dosage aerosol immediately when the spray is triggered. The speed of the aerosol particles released can be reduced with the aid of the aerosol chamber (spacer).The atomised aerosols first collect in the aerosol chamber so that the particles are not sprayed onto the pharyngeal and oral mucosa when the dosage aerosol is triggered. Coarser aerosol particles stick to the spacer and are not inhaled, as they cannot reach the bronchioles anyway due to their size. During inhalation, only small particles can pass through the fine bronchial tubes and develop their targeted effect.
The AeroHippus enables gentle inhalation of medication aerosols with few side effects and is therefore often recommended as a supportive therapy measure for respiratory diseases.
PLEASE NOTE: the inhaler is excluded from return once it has been used on the animal.

Application
The AeroHippus is extremely simple to use. Ideally, you will slowly introduce the patient to the application of the mask to the nose. This can be done through conditioning. Once the dosage aerosol has been inserted into the rear panel of the AeroHippus, gently shake the whole device. Press the inhaler once (the aerosol will now flow into the chamber) and gently pull the AeroHippus mask over one of the animal's nostrils. Ensure that the mask closes completely. The movements of the Flow-Vu indicator (green) show that the animal is breathing. Count the number of breaths and leave the mask on the animal's nostril for 3-5 breaths. Follow the inhalation medicine manual before repeating the process.

No, the aerosol chamber should be rinsed by hand. However, this is quick and simple. Please follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions (included) when doing so.
Generally speaking, dosage aerosols from human medicine can be used with the AeroHippus. However, a vet should decide which medicine to use for which scenario. They can use the manufacturer's dosage recommendations, given in the included PDF, for guidance.
The AeroHippus should never be used without a vet's recommendation or without a prior veterinary examination of the animal!
