Abstract:
The Electronic Lung is an inhalation simulator designed for the characterisation of breath-actuated inhalation devices. It enables the in-vitro evaluation of devices under conditions that have been produced in-vivo. Data generated on the Serevent Diskhaler inhaler have highlighted the reproducibility of particle size distribution of drug delivered from the device over a range of inhalation parameters.
