Patient Exhalation Simulator PES

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Exhalation into the mouthpiece of an inhaler before inhalation is a common error, especially with dry powder inhalers (DPIs). This can lead to insufficient drug delivery, poor disease control, and increased reliance on emergency medication.
Patient Exhalation Simulator (PES)
The PES replicates the effects of exhaling into the inhaler mouthpiece before inhalation. It generates warm, humid air at flow rates that mimic human exhalation profiles, allowing developers to assess the impact of misuse on inhaler performance and optimize device design.
Features and Specifications
  • Adjustable air flow temperature (31°C, 34°C, 37°C) and flow rate (10 – 60 L/min).
  • Low maintenance and compatible with existing Copley mouthpiece adapters.
  • Qualification tools available for air flow temperature and humidity verification.
  • Dimensions: 225 x 300 x 1030 mm.
  • Water reservoir capacity: 850 mL.
Performance and Testing
Tested at 34°C and 60 L/min under ambient conditions of 22°C and 45% RH. The PES is ideal for evaluating inhaler misuse conditions and device robustness.
Qualification and Maintenance
  • Comprehensive IQ/OQ documentation package available.
  • Extended warranty options for 1 or 2 years.

Patient Exhalation Simulator PES-1

Patient Exhalation Simulator PES For the evaluation of inhaler misuse conditions and device robustness Exhalation into the mouthpiece of an inhaler prior to the inhalation step is a commonly reported error in patient technique, particularly for dry powder inhaler (DPIs). The consequence of this poor technique may be insufficient drug delivery for effective administration and ultimately, inadequately controlled respiratory disease and/or an overreliance on emergency medication. The Patient Exhalation Simulator (PES) accurately replicates the effects of a patient exhaling into the device mouthpiece prior to the inhalation step. The warm, humid air generated by the PES can be set at flow rates representative of different human exhalation profiles. The PES enables developers to assess how device misuse impacts the critical quality attributes of the inhaler, empowering device design optimisation to ensure robust drug delivery. Investigating the impact of exhalation through a device complements current EMA/ISO guidance on understanding device robustness and evaluating performance under conditions simulating patient use. Simple to set-up and easy-to-use Adjustable air flow temperature and flow rate Ideal for assessing a range of patient profiles Works with existing Copley mouthpiece adapters Qualification tools are available
