The prototype AeroChamber2go* spacer device was preferred by patients compared to the A2A† spacer and provides a good option for patients currently using the Metered Dose Inhaler without a spacer while on-the-go.
The FRI deposition profiles highlight that the MDI/AeroChamber Plus* Flow-Vu* VHC delivered a significantly greater percentage of drug to the lung region than either of the two DPIs, irrespective of flow rate.
This was reflected in much higher modelled oropharyngeal deposition for the two DPIs.
The influence of inhalation flow profile was significant for one of the DPIs.
Medication delivery can vary significantly depending on the pMDI/spacer system which will have implications on the carbon footprint. In this case, the use of the AeroChamber Plus* Flow-Vu* spacer could potentially reduce the carbon footprint by up to five-fold compared to other spacers.
