• Metivent Software - A Companion to TSI Flowmeters

    Metivent is a Windows application for recording air flow measurements from TSI flowmeters (e.g. TSI4040). A standard Windows computer with the installed Metivent software connects to the flowmeter via a USB-serial converter. The acquisition of data from the flowmeter is then controlled by the software. Once started the graph is updated continuously during measurement.

    • The software can be used in several modes and configurations.
    • Start trig (wait to start until the flow has reached the start trigger level)
    • End trig (sample data until stop trigger condition)
    • Gas calibration
    • Number of samples to collect if not using trig
    • Standard or volumetric flow
    • Sampling rate 1-1000/s

    Measurements can be conveniently saved to CSV files and opened in Excel for further data analyses and presentations. The instrument is pivotal when recording inhalations profiles for lung simulation studies (such as F-SIG 6300). The file presents flow and pressure and temperature along with instrument data such as serial number and calibration date and currently used settings.

  • Mixing Inlet - Air-Flow Moderating Inlet (AMI)

    The purpose of this product is inhaler testing aimed at achieving greater clinical relevance when testing dry-powder inhalers. Much like traditional mixing inlets, this product allows the user to maintain a constant flow rate into the cascade impactor with any chosen, time-varying flow rate through the DPI itself. We call it the Air-Flow Moderating Inlet (AMI)…a new friend of the inhaler testing community.

  • Nasal Spray Actuator

    Take the worries out of Nasal Spray testing with FIA’s configurable NASAL SPRAY ACTUATOR. This actuation system enables the user to define multiple actuation methods. The nasal actuator measures the stroke travel distance and the force constantly, most notably end force at actuation. The velocity can be calculated from the distance and the time, recorded by the software.

    The nasal actuator control box can be used to set number of actuations for dosing, rest time between each actuation, number of waste dose etc. The equipment can be easily adapted to most device geometries. The compact and open design makes it perfect to integrate with dose collection on filter, and with optical techniques for determination of, e.g., spray pattern, plume geometry (laser pulsed camera) and droplet size (laser diffraction). We can guide you to the best possible solution based on our historic implementations.

    Main benefits:

    • Control pivotal parameters affecting the dose and the spray
    • Release technical staff from routine functions and potential ergonomic strain
    • Elucidate and record actuations in documented fashion
